Hi folks,

We have been developing a new feature to hopefully improve the forum, particularly the dealsy boards. You've hopefully noticed our 'WOW' ratings in boards such as 'Quick Grab It While You Can", where users can interact and flag deals you believe are top notch.

We've now built an add on to this, which lets forum members opt-in to get emails when particularly big WOW deals pop up. To do it, just follow the link below.

We are testing this for now, and hope to include it in next week's email, so if you have 2 minutes to feedback on how it works for you by replying to this post, that would be ace.

    I selected the ones I was interested in but got an error message. Maybe if you select all it lets you through?

    Hi deedee71,

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Could you let us know what operating system and internet browser you are using.

    Does it tell you if it's worked? I've still got the screen with the checkboxes...
    They call me Dr Worm... I'm interested in things; I'm not a real doctor but I am a real worm. :grin:

    This happens occasionally. It's actually for your protection. Just the forums trying too hard to protect your security. Nothing to worry about. Try again and I reckon you'll be fine :).

    If you stay on that screen, it should have worked. Hopefully you'll start getting emails when good deals come up.

    It's a good point though - we can look at adding a 'Done' screen maybe.
