This is probably getting in to late but here's a thought. The instant win section is so full of the "Search with Meatloaf, Search with Kevin Federline" etc. It would be nice to have them under a heading by themselves.
Please Vote for The Most Wanted/Needed Changes to SA
- Thread starter sweepsadv
- Start date
Not too late, but admin is working on an upgrade that will make it unnecessary to add more categories:
[quote author=sweepsadv]
When we roll out the custom my sweepstakes it will make these types of custom categories unnecessary. So for now we'll wait for the custom My Sweepstakes to hit production.
Thank You.

As far as customizing my sweeps - I think it would be nice to be able to for instance: On instant wins, be able to sort them in priority order (like Netflix does)...basically put your favorite ones on the first few pages when you pull up My Sweepstakes/Instant win. Same with dailies. That way you would make sure you wouldn't miss your very favorites by going through a whole bunch of pages to look for your favorites.
Hi,
Just an update. It is taking much longer than expected to do the My Sweepstakes custom categories change. In the meantime we have been making some other smaller changes. You will notice a new easier to use tabbed search box on most of the SA pages. There was also a forum software upgrade to the most recent version. There have also been several bug fixes. The most recent being an email reminders fix.
We'll try to do a better job at setting expectations going forward and we appreciate your patience.

Thanks for the update. A question about the tabbed search box....
There is a slight delay on when the text field shows up when the page first loads. Is that on purpose so that people must at least look at the ads some? With the old version you could have basically entered a search query before everything was fully loaded. Now you cannot.

I see what you mean. It only seems to happen on the main page search box. The smaller search box that appears in the new section and in the categories does not seem to have this short delay. I'll check it out. Thanks for the heads up.

I think we could use a subforum for items wanted in the Trading forum. That would be easy to implement.

Thoughts of adding a similar one to same place.
Giveaways?
Some people post things for free, typically codes for say 48 Hour XBox or something else.
Sometimes I'm not sure if some of the things people post are meant to be given away for free or not as you can't always tell from text.

This has been fixed. The search box now loads quickly and we added a freebie search. The search tabs are also memorized. If you always use for example "my search" it will remember that and automatically auto select the my search Tab when you view a page with the search box on it.
If you search for the letters ARV you will get all the sweepstakes that list the value in the description or you can use this link below:

I have another idea. No running for cover, I think it is an easy one! :laughing:
I was wondering if there is a way for sweepscheck to automatically save after a minute or so? I ask this because once in a while, when I click save my sweepstakes, I get an error page. I then have to go back and remember which ones I entered, put into my sweepstakes... If that's not possible, is it possible to get a check all boxes feature. It will make rechecking the boxes easier.
Sorry about the laziness. I just really have nothing else to complain about here, so I try to find things! :laughing: (Just kidding.)

An autosave would require the page to reload every x minutes or so. I think some members might consider that a nuisance. As for the check all or uncheck all you can do this with your keyboard. Press ( Alt + ) to check all and (Alt - ) to uncheck all. I can look into putting some javascript on the page that would do this also, but the keyboard combo should get you going with that for the time being!
An update on this features list: We are having a difficult time with the custom my sweepstakes categories. I may have to consult with someone to get this completed. We have also had some bugs along the way that we needed to fix. Big on existing features need to take priority over any new features.
When you get an error from using the save can you write down that error and the time that is occured and send it over? Thank You.
