I am in the process of making a few changes to my site. If the site goes down or is running slowly, that is why. Thanks for your patience!

    Pretty blue box when you reply to comments!!

    • Britt

      Where did the blue box go??

      • Britt

        Oh LOL! There it is!!

    Yay, I love that the time of the posts are back. That was one thing I missed from the old website. It can be crucial to know when deals are taking place or when items are sold out. Thanks, Collin!

    Do you have any idea why your site causes my computer to lock up? I have to do a force quit and restart every so often and it is always your site that causes it. I am using Safari. Thanks

    • TayloeGray

      There is a lot of client side javascript on this site to make all the parts work. This can be resource intensive for some older computers (and some new ones)

      Give it a try in Firefox and see if it still causes you trouble.

      If firefox is still giving you trouble, use the contact form to send in a support request and I will take a look.

      Make sure to send in your computer type, and specs if you know them.

        Thanks, I’ll try it in Firefox. BTW this was also a problem before the new website, and it happens with both my iBooks.

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        Sadly, my computer freezes up with your site also. I use IE and have to restart if I leave the site up too long. This also doesn’t seem to happen with other coupon sites but I like to leave yours up all the time and am constantly checking for new posts. Thanks for your hard work!

    Kay,

    It might be you’re computer. I usually use Safari and haven’t had a problem, unless my internet connection goes out.

    Kay,

    It could also be your pop-up/site settings, there could be something in there that won’t allow the site to run right on your computer. You should be able to go into your settings and check, if that is what it is, then just allow the site.

    Yay! Love the new comments section, especially adding back the date and time posted.

    • kay

      I have pop-ups allowed. It appears to be something specific to this site/blog, since I frequent a lot of other coupon sites/blogs as well as other sites multiple times a day. I don’t close the window with this site, but periodically when I got to reload the site to check for updates, I get the spinning circle that last for a very long time. Sometimes I can stop the reload, close the tab with this site and then everything is ok – and I can go back an open a new tab for the site, but other times it hangs the whole computer and I have to force quit. This does not happen with other sites – it is always this one.

      If you do not have a Gravatar, they are random.

    Way to go Collin…ask and ye shall receive! The comment button takes us to the beginning of the comments, I just noticed the numbered comments as I am typing this (this will save us time so we won’t have to reread comments), the time is back, and the font is larger (easier to read), the font stays the same for the replys, and the “add your comment” is visible. Oh and the Avatars…are they random? Did I miss anything? Thanks Collin and Andrew…keep up the good work~_~

    • fran

      Oh, and I also noticed you made the Favorite stores on the right hand side easier to access, and your Follow Me Monday isn’t moving or animated or whatever it’s called. I also like the fact that you are putting more posts on one page…nice. Thanks again, and have a good week.

    Everything looks GREAT as always. Love the pictures !!! Date and time as well. Thanks Collin.

  10. Little'sMom

    LOVE the changes to the site!!! Keep doing what you’re doing!!! :0) Thanks!

    Collin,
    When do you sleep?LOL!!…..I don’t know how you do it……but (please) keep on doing it!

  12. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    YAY, it takes you to the top of the comment section!! I was trying to reply to certain posts, and hit reply on the actual post, but when it post it stuck it in the wrong place.(under someone else’s comment. It looked funny because what I was talking about is not what they were talking about 🙂 Maybe it is just me doing it wrong??

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You need to hit the reply button straight across from the persons name of the comment you want to reply to and not the one towards the bottom of the post because that is for the next comment. Hope that helps.

  13. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    LOVE the new changes. Making the site even more user-friendly!

  14. CouponClary

    Love the new changes, especially the time being posted and that when you click view/add comments it takes you to the top of the comments!

  15. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    Love the changes! Thanks for also taking people’s request on how to improve your site. Little changes can make such a big difference.

  16. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I think you just made this change. I like when I click on the comments it starts from the top and not the bottom. Also, thanks for adding the date/time so now I know when deals stopped working for people.

    I love the upgrades ot the comments section!!! Just wanted you to know that your sidebar is a little wonky in IE7, Windows Vista 64-bit. On the main page, a portion of the side bar extends way past the set margins (The Follow Me Monday section). Also, a comments (single) page, the side bar content starts below the end of the sidebar (leaving that column empty). I can take some screenshots and send them to you. Let me know. As far as Firefox (3.5), homepage looks perfect but the same thing is happening with a comments page.

    • TayloeGray

      This should be fixed as of the version we just rolled out. Some times you should not do things late at night. Thanks for the catch.

    Thank You for numbering the comments!

  19. Collin (Mrs. Hip)

    I like that there are little people next to the comments now! Very cute!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      How do you change what they look like though? I am not black and have blonde hair! LOL

      • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

        When I first put in my comment, I was black. never mind! It must change when you put in a new comment. Mine did.

    I just realized that when you make a smile face on the keyboard…….a real one shows up in the comments…..Love that!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
