    I haven't seen the ad with the walking tree yet. I hope to see it, or any other ad, today.

    The first time I saw it, I immediately closed my other tabs and *watched* it. I was moved to the point of getting tears in my eyes. It definitely pulls on the heart strings even if one is not a fully committed "tree-hugger." Coming from San Francisco, we love our giant redwoods, among other favorites. For me, that ad gets the award for Best Ad Ever in the sponsor program.

    Hey guys, I was just using the spreadsheet and all of the dates for the DDs have changed. Has anybody else noticed this? It suggests that deal 210 for example is going to occur on the 23rd November this year, but wasn't that deal just last week? Just a little confused and trying to plan my next few moves :p
    ETA: it appears to only affect the deals that have passed so planning is not an issue at the moment. Also, in better news, I got Rebel Just Because for free! Thank you all so much for your help! Can't wait to get I heart the 50's for free next week now :mrgreen:

    Hi Lizzie, that's because the AWESOME Spreadsheet team have assumed that the list will continue to repeat (rotate in the jargon) so have added those dates into the list for the folk that missed the deals on the current rotation.

    All being well the list will start to repeat (for the fifth time?) on November 6th :)

    and ... Yay! Congrats on the Green Button download of Rebel Just Because. Top Deal Stalking skills! :star:

    Hmmm. Let's see what I can do to make it more obvious that some deals are for the next rotation.

    Edit: I have changed the text of the first cell to read "Next Rotation" for the deals included in the 6th rotation. Hope that helps.

    No problem. We truly appreciate comments about the spreadsheet! With everyone here working together we can catch issues and make changes that help everyone get better deals.

    Thanks to a lot of amazing sim friends I have owned the store for a while now. If you'd like to help out a really good friend of mine who just started playing the game, here is his wishlist. Thanks!

    ^Exactly!! Agree 100%.

    The spreadsheet started out as a simple list that I shared with another DD stalker after I mentioned that I have a spreadsheet to estimate the time of the deals. At first , the spreadsheet only had the central and eastern time zones. Other people expressed interest and we added their time zones. Other features were added based on suggestion of other DD stalkers. The spreadsheet is truly a team effort. Here is a link to the first spreadsheet after it was modified a bit. You can see how much the spreadsheet has changed based on feedback from the DD thread. (Note: Until this last DD list, the deals would sell out so the spreadsheet was only an estimate of when a deal would be the Daily Deal.)

    Is anybody getting ads today? Haven't seen 1 ad while at the library today and that is unusual for me.
  • Elf67Elf67 Posts: 1,198 Member
    I am getting mostly broken ads.
  • lizzielilyylizzielilyy Posts: 4,937 Member
    I've actually got a few ads today! I'm in shock, I never get them!

    Yep, ain't that the truth! :star::heart:

    As Sam @trithone and Jodi @Me1620 have said, this thread really works because so many people get involved and nobody is precious about taking suggestions and constructive criticism.

    In my job, when I create something the worst thing is when nobody says anything at all. I'm much happier when they come back and say "what about ...?" or "it would be better if ..." - because I know they are using and engaging with it and see the value in what has been created.

    This thread is so good today because so many people have brought different ideas and skills to the party. :)

    @ajaxpost - So true! Adrian, your two statements totally fit SimGuruDrake's definition for the awesome button.
    Awesome - Awesome posts amaze you. You want to repeat them to your friends and remember them later.

    It must be something that library did to their computers while they were closed for the holiday. They upgraded their monitors and their internet is faster than it used to be. I hope at the library I go to tomorrow I'm able to get ads. If I do I'll send more gifts to people.

    You guys, I don't know what happened to me... I just missed the India Inspiration Clothing and Hairstyles!!!!!!!! Somehow I thought that it's going to show up in the evening, even though I wrote to myself yesterday the exact hours :( now I have to wait to #900 to get it for free and then I have to wait even more for the Man Cave Compilation. I was so ready to have this set today. Such a bummer :'(

    ...Just told myself it's not so bad, went to check the DD spread sheet, scrolled too far and saw it comes up in January :s "How can this be?!" Nope, it comes up in less than 2 months! Oh goody! At least no waiting until January... Man Cave Compilation in December :| Will there be a store till December? I really hope so :sweat_smile:

    Has anyone had any luck getting customer service to mark as owned non-cys sets (like when worlds collide) or gold worlds/cash worlds if you own all of the items in the set/world? If so, what sort of 'proof' did you need to offer to get them to do so? That's the last thing I need to do to have everything marked as owned.

    Aw, I'm sorry you missed it @FoxyLovesKitty; :cry: So frustrating!
