  7. When posting a new thread here on the GottaDeal forums, here are some recommendations: 1. Search before posting - before typing your post, first search to make sure a similar thread has not been posted by another member. 2. Include a descriptive thread title - this applies to all forums - if you are posting a deal at an online store, include the item, the sale price, the store name, if the deal involves a rebate, if it has free shipping, etc. The more information, the better. If you are posting a thread in the Black Friday forums, be very specific. A title like "question about walmart" is not a good title. A title like "Does Wal-mart have early bird specials on BF?" is a better title. DO NOT use vague titles to "trick" people into reading your post. 3. Check for spelling and grammar mistakes - obviously the fewer spelling and grammar mistakes in your post, the easier it will be for others to understand it and they'll be more likely to reply. 4. DO NOT USE ALL CAPS OR BOLD WHEN TYPING YOUR THREAD - using all caps is considered shouting and is generally not appreciated on forums like this one. 5. If applicable, use a post icon appropriate for your thread - if you're thread is asking a question, use the question mark, if you have an idea, use the light bulb. Certain forums have post icons espeically for those forums - use them in the same way if needed. 6. DO NOT directly copy and paste deals from other forums - you may "borrow" the deal, but type up the title and post in your own words. If you have any questions about these ideas, or can offer your own suggestions, feel free to reply to this thread :)
  8. If you realize you made a mistake in one of your posts, have more information to add, need to update your post, or simply want to make some other change, instead of making a new post, please edit your existing one.

When you are done, click the "Save" button. If you need to delete your post, click the "Delete" button. Editing a Thread If you posted a thread and need to change the title that thread, click the "Advanced" button and you will see this page: From this page you can change the title of the thread, edit your message, change the post icon or delete your post. Note that if you are the thread starter, deleting your first post will delete the entire thread. If you have any questions about editing or deleting posts/threads, please reply to this thread. Thanks :)

  11. Last year I organized something on the forum where many members compiled lists of contact information for newspapers and TV stations. I must have contacted over 100 media outlets and heard back from only one. Then CNN contacted me, ran the story, and then all of a sudden everyone wanted to do a story. So this year I don't plan to contact anyone. The site (and BF in general) was such big news last year that this year I expect them to come to GD instead of us having to go to them (and that has already started ).

  14. Subscribing to threads allows you to keep track of threads you're interested in (perhaps because you've posted in them). To subscribe to a thread, while on that thread's page, click the "Thread Tools" menu and click the "Subscribe to this Thread" option: - On the next page, select if you'd like to be notified by e-mail about new posts in this thread: - To view your currently subscribed threads, go to your user control panel by clicking on the "User CP" link at the far left of the blue navigation bar (to the left of the "GottaPoints" link) on every forum page: - You will then be brought to your User Control Panel which looks similar to this: - Then click on "List Subscriptions" to go to your list of subscribed threads: Subscribing to threads is similar to bookmarking web pages in your web browser. Viewing threads from this list is the same as viewing them from anywhere else on the forum - you can reply to them just as you would elsewhere. It's just a convenient way to keep track of threads that are important to you. If you have any questions about this issue, please reply to this thread :) Please keep all replies directly related to this topic. Off-topic replies will be deleted.
  15. When you come to the forum, threads are in bold when there have been new posts made in them since you last visited the forum. It has nothing to do with if you ever read them or not - just if there have been new posts since you last visited.

  20. The big difference is HD support. You can record two HD programs at the same time (while watching another recorded one).
  21. It goes on a store-by-store and item-by-item basis. Some stores put the stuff on sale on Thanksgiving, others wait until BF. For most items, they are available until they sell out. There is no way to know ahead of time, and what a store did last year means almost nothing as to what they will do this year.
  22. We probably won't have BF-specific shirts for several reasons: 1. in many areas it's so cold on BF that nobody will see them under coats 2. many people won't want to wear a BF on any day other than BF 3. i don't want to be stuck with half a box of BF shirts for another year So like conj said, if you want a shirt, we have regular GD shirts, and if those sell out, then I'll decide if we want to do something else, but it won't be BF-specific.
  23. Yes that's correct. You can transfer a lifetime sub from a Series1 or Series2 unit to a new Series3 for $199, and the existing unit will still get one year of service as well before you have to start paying monthly.
