categories in freebie forums?

chatangel · 01-09-2007, 06:50 AM

It would be great if we had some sort of categories on the freebies board!
ie: baby, toddler, or combined them "children" family items, laundry, just a thought when you're in a hurry.

I'm a grandmother of 1 1/2 the 1/2... will be 2 soon! Their mother and lives with me, so it's like I'm a mom all over again, with a 4 year and soon to be newborn in the house. I'm not going to have the time to search for the things I could and do need. Their Mother works full time, and is a full time student... so "Nonnie" is full time caregiver! It was easier when I was in my twenties, not 47! LOL

Just a suggestion, thanks Vicky I love this site!

Maybe we could have categories for freebes and deals- beauty, baby/toddler, business stuff, clothing, food/drink, children/teen, fun free samples, downloads, health, garden, magazines/catalogs/poster/books, pet/animal, student/teacher, women, men, wedding, coupons, company contact info, boycot/reviews of businesses?

Just some suggestions, many of the categories I found on another couponing site.

BTW, is there any way for us to edit out expired links?

I'm thinking that's a great idea but it would probably be a lot of work for Vicky. I'd most like to see a way to delete posts - say if I posted a repost or if it turns out to be spam/expired.

But most of all I am happy to see the new Contest Forum! Thanks Vicky!!

Deleting would be great! THere are a lot of things that could be deleted.
Like the diaper thing...dont want anyone to try to order those again

Yanno what else would be great - freebies for Business VS freebies for anyone. Because there are a lot of Business freebies that I can't do by the time I weed them out i've gotta rush off any do something else. Yanno the kids can't get enough Juice!!!

Just a thought...

I've got a solution to this coming up...a little simpler than creating lots of different subcategories!

DreamADreamWithU · 01-19-2007, 02:28 PM

Can't wait to see it!

vicky · 01-19-2007, 03:57 PM

There are now new post icons when you create a new thread! Use them to categorize what your deal/freebie is about!

jkn717 · 01-19-2007, 07:41 PM

The new category icons are great. Perhaps a "magazine" icon would also be useful?

vicky · 01-19-2007, 08:39 PM

ooo, magazines would be great. thanks, i'll try to add that soon.
