Yeah $200 isn't going to happen anytime this year (unless a price mistake comes around)

If we were to put, for example, an MP3 player in the store, would you rather have it be for a high amount of points that the first person that can afford (and wants it) can get it, or would you rather have the contest entry method where you can spend a few of your points for a chance at winning it? Or do some each way?

Oooh. Good idea. 1 GottaPoint = $1.00 in GreenZap Probably still not worth it, lol.

Does anyone have any suggestions for things you'd like to be able to redeem your points for? We'll have the GD shirts/stickers/pens, gift certificates and contest entries, but is there anything else you can think of? Hosting accounts? Domain names? Cash/PayPal? What about forum-type things like being able to change someone else's avatar/user title for a day, increased PM limits, access to special smilies, etc...? Someone has to have some creative ideas We have our own ideas & plans but we can always use more :)

Just got this: "Thank you for applying to be an adidas Affiliate Partner. Unfortunately, at this time we are not able to approve your application for the adidas Affiliate Program. As it states in our Affiliate Agreement, not all applicants will become affiliates, and it is within adidas' sole discretion to deny any application for any reason. If you wish to review our agreement please visit our "Be an Affiliate" pages in the Customer Service section of thestore.adidas.com. Thank you again for your interest in the adidas Affiliate Program." I have no idea why we were not approved, but it's their loss

Doesn't matter if it's a repost or not. 10% is 10% and it'll be helpful to someone :) I'm surprised the links even work considering those coupons aren't compatible with the affiliate program. Usually Buy.com removes the "redeem coupon" button if you came to the coupon page (for a non-affiliate coupon) from an affiliate site.

Too bad it's a REPOST!!!!! http://forums.gottadeal.com/showthread.php?t=13259 Gotta do better than that, Keith

I didn't think there ever was an option to edit them. I think that is a mod/admin-only option. Likely to protect the integrity of the important polls that go on in this forum, lol.

yes, vB changed that. before it asked for the title, then the URL. the title field was always optional so they removed it in 3.5. now you just enter the URL and the title is automatically highlighted in your post so if you want a title, you type it right then. don't know why they changed it, but they did and i haven't seen a way to get it back to the old way.

For this kind of deal, this is the right forum as it's not really free - you still have to pay $149 up front and have to activate the unit to get the rebate. It's not like they are just giving them away for no cost out-of-pocket.

Actually Aaron's was posted last night, so I closed the other one :)

I'll check on that later. I know in your User CP, in the Options you can choose to have it show just the basic text box (without the smilies) or extra formatting options so that's something you can do until I can look at it.

Correct. Closing this one.

It's hard to say. Usually the monitors at B&M stores are overpriced to begin with, so even on BF there probably won't be that many great deals, and most of the deals that will be available will be for the cheap non-name brand LCDs. So if Dell has some great deals next month, I'd take advantage of them and not worry about if there will be a deal on BF.

It's hard to say. It's been a long time since the last great LCD deals. The most likely time would be in about a month as Dell gets close to the end of their current fiscal quarter.

I'll see about adding something. One way to go back to the normal view is to add a "&styleid=5" to the end of any URL.

I don't know how easy that would be to change - it's not an option that's built-in right now. The userpage thing is a hack coded by just some regular person - it's not an official vB feature. They do plan on upgrading it soon, so maybe that will be an option when the next version comes out.

Yeah I noticed that PM thing as well. Usually it takes so long for it to guess that I've typed it out already, but it's good for those people with really long usernames.

There is a link to the user page in the user profile in the upper right. It shows for everyone so if they don't have a page set up it will tell you. You can also view the member pages of anyone who's created one by clicking on the "Member Pages" link in the top blue navigation bar.

I just applied to their affiliate program. I don't know if they release any coupons, but I'll find out once we are approved.

Exactly. I know they've been looking to build one around here, so maybe within a year we'll have one.

Both "Best Buy" and "BestBuy.com" should be linked. (without the quotation marks - like this: Best Buy & BestBuy.com)

Yeah that's something we are going to try, just for the big stores. We don't want every other word you post to be linked, so we'll limit it.

That's gotta be something with your browser. Are you using Internet Explorer or Firefox?
