Additional Comments:

How long have you been a Mommysaver? Active since July 2007. Actually signed up but only enjoyed newsletter since around 2002 maybe 2003.

What attracted you to the site? Freebies at first. Then the great advice.

Why have you stayed? I feel like I have made a bunch of friends.

How often do you log on? At the very least once a day. I rarely miss.

What forums do you frequent the most? Chit chat, freebies, relationships. Actually I don’t generally go directly into the forums, I use the new posts the most.

What do you like the most about them? Chit chat is what it is just general talking about anything. Freebies, need I say more. Relationships because you can go there to get good advice or hopefully give good advice, and just plain talk about things you might not talk about with someone in person.

What would you like to see CHANGED about those forums? Nothing really. I like them the way they are.

What subject matter have you NOT seen covered on Mommysavers that you would like to see more of? Can’t think of anything at the moment.

What topics are of most interest to you? I enjoy reading them all. Even the scrap booking ones and I don’t have a clue how to scrapbook!

What **new features** do you like about the site redesign? The networking. I love that I can share my business with my fellow mommysavers. RAK forum. I think this is so great. I have received some great RAK’s and I hope I have given some good ones to.

Have you used our Itrader Feedback system? Yes. I accidently gave someone a negative face when it should have been a positive. I will be more careful next time.

Do you like it? Is it user friendly? I don’t much care for how you have to find the URL and can only use it once in order to give feedback. On coupon trains you need to use that URL more than once.

Have you posted any pictures in our Gallery? No not yet.

When was the last time you checked out Mommysavers' home page? A couple weeks ago.

Have you registered for our weekly newsletter? Have been receiving it since 2002 or 2003.

Is it helpful to you? I always look forward to it.

What would you like to see in it, that you haven't already?

Is the site user friendly and easy to navigate? Yes

Have you read our Mommysaver of the Week threads? Have you participated in it? Yes on both counts.

Are you a participant in our Forget the Joneses' Project? No dh reall.y wasn’t on board. Plus when it started things were kinda topsy turvy around our house and made it difficult to follow through

How has it helped you?


Additional Comments:
I wish you would put back up how many have looked at your profile. And I wish there was directions on how to do things like put moving avatars on your profile. Also I forget about chat because it is at the bottom of the page. Maybe you could move it to the top in forums or even better when viewing new posts.
