Sub-board for newspapers/magazines.

Options
I realise that there would be no end to sub-boards but with so many coupons,DVD's,CD's etc in the magazines and Daily Papers wouldn't a Sub-board be a good idea? The newspaper ones,especially, get pushed over the page if listed too early and are usually for a particular day(more Grabbit I suppose)
The Magazines are for the week or month but again get pushed out of the way while still running.
Any thoughts?

    Pretty please!

    I was going to suggest having a seperate board in Freebies to mop up all the messages on what's going to be free this weekend, DVD's, CD's stickers etc.

    The majority of stuff will be short lived so have it segregated somewhere would be very helpful, thanks.
    :idea:I got an idea, an idea so smart my head would explode if I even began to know what I was talking about:idea:

    Interesting thought - perhaps we could segment online discount vouchers and make it

    Discount vouchers - then with an online and offline section

    That could be difficult as many vouchers are posted to your home. I was thinking more alomg the lines of what on-going offers they carry such as token collect but mainlythe weekend paper offers and monthly magazine offers.I am open to better suggestions though.The good part of your suggestion is that there should be no "I Wanna" as that would still be for the on-line vouchers.
    Could work I suppose but might need tweaking after a while.Start Monday then--is it??icon10.gif
    Thanks

    A sub-board for newspaper and magazine offers would be really great.

    Freebies board should only really be for things that are totally free, but we get loads of mag/newspaper offers posted because there doesn't always seem a better place to post them.

    Could perhaps the 3 for a £ and all the freebies with subscriptions go in in too? So many people fail to find the thread with all the deals in or can't be bothered to read through all the pages so just post asking for offers for particular mags. If there were seperate threads for each offer it would make it easier to follow for everyone :)

    Yes, I see what you mean! There seems to have been quite a few of them today. They're already slipping off the first page in Grabbit. I think the case for a sub board for newspaper/magazine promotions and offers is a strong one. :)

    OK I give in.That is a wonderful idea--wish I had thought of it.icon11.gifWill we be introducing this in the near future?
    Newspaper offers are being posted on different boards---sometimes by the same people.Perhaps until a final decision is made,a ruling could be made re which board to post on.

    If you allow a newspaper etc offers forum I can't understand why you won't allow a voice over IP forum.

    The argument in favour for it is alot stronger.
