Yes, I agree too when things being upstairs and this does seem to be the majority view.
Also it means we can name the company concerned directly rather than calling them Mr T or Teskies or whatever. There's no way you can search back for a deal often on the main thread because you don't know what people were calling Tesc0 or whatever. Much easier to find if it's in a proper home š
i think discussions on deals should be left here, I wouldn't describe them as clutter...the whole ethos of the elite is sharing finds...not hiding them.
Have you actually looked at all the threads upstairs? There are over 100 different threads. The amaz0n thread alone has over 2000 posts and that is a fairly recent thread. How exactly would people find the information they were looking for? It is like saying have a load of reference books on all the topics you are interest in, but tearing the contents page out of each book and throwing them all into the middle of the room. Also, and this is only my opinion, and I dont speak for anyone else here but myself, but if people cant be bothered to sign up, interact with the group, then sod em. I would go so far as to say people that dont contribute in some way (and I dont mean by posting deals, just a hello or a thanks is contributing in my eyes) should not have access. Life is full of people that just take. Also, people on here need to realise that they should not constantly have little digs at people. It does not go unnoticed, and will be stopped. This is not a place for that, and if anyone wants to do that, I will post a link for them below where it is/was tolerated. forums.moneysavingexpert.com/
Of course Ive looked upstairs...have a look at my posts....
I would also welcome a crack down on the the sly digs from certain posters

Perhaps being the bigger person, you could start the ball rolling by leading by example? Just a thought

I don't see the bulk of their posts šš
But you see your posts surely? Anyway, I think this conversation has run its course. Take from it what you wish, but I need to have a wind down from work now as the first half of the week is always very long and stressful. Need to find a film to watch.

Oh dear me, OH has been vexing today insisting that he install a bigger monitor even though the other monitor was perfectly serviceable Which then meant all of my usual webpages had to be logged out and then I had to log in again and for one moment I thought I'd been diverted off to MSE again ...
Deep sigh .... can we start the new thread X again please ...

Dont know how I have not seen this film before, quite an all star cast. 'Inside Man'. Worth a watch if you enjoyed 'Money Heist', as it bears quite a few similarities.

Agree with Di's comments about upstairs downstairs. So much easier to find info for all the different big businesses we help out, keeping staff employed restocking the shelvesš.

Good morning
I'd love a cup of tea thanks rusty
I can see and agree with aspects of both points of view re upstairs/downstairs. However, my little grey cells cope much better with things in compartments so for me the separate threads work very well x
Good morning, thanks for the new thread. Helped myself to a cuppa - thanks Rusty. I also like the different threads upstairs as much easier to quickly find and check things.
We're still sleeping on the living room floor, it's only been 10 weeks! Painted one room just the hall and another to do now. I never got around to working off my Winter jobs list so they'll have to wait until next year. I've started a Summer one though š¤Ŗ
I too like the upstairs thing. If anything is good, someone usually signposts it here too. Itās especially good if youāre in store looking for bargains listed.
And Iād like to add my thanks to the mods too. Youāre great!

Thank you for the morning brew and what an amazing cake to wake up to.
Have been having some great days in the garden getting all those little jobs done. Cabbage, Broccoli, lettuce, Rocket, Radish, Kalette and numerous other bits and bobs have poked their heads out the tops of the compost. Garden is bursting into life now.
Scarified the back lawn and given it a good seeing to yesterday. The front lawn is going to have it today.

Good morning all, sun is coming out here
Good morning tweets, what you have to say is worth as much as anything else on here, we are all equal and all considered as valuable as the next person.
Thank you for the Cuppa Rusty, will pass on the cake at this time of day though
I like the upstairs/downstairs, it is easy to navigate and easy to find the deals. The most salient of facts to my mind is that you have to be registered to see the deals so they are less likely to be stumbled upon by bots etc.

Have great days everyone.
Marmite have you sown them outdoors or in a greenhouse? I'm going for it today I think, rocket, mixed lettuce, parsnips and carrots in today š

Everything in pots, trays or tubs in the Greenhouse. The only things I have set in the garden are Parsnips, Carrots, Onion sets and Shallots.
Iām very happy with the way things are run here.
I like upstairs, as it means I donāt have to waste time reading about shops in places I donāt visit. It also means the ācodesā on here are far less frequent. That makes this thread easier to read and more welcoming for newbies.
There is another place I hang out in, that doesnāt have an āupstairsā and the codes on there are so cumbersome that people constantly forget what they are and newbies ask, so posts go on and on explaining then and that then always starts a discussion on whether they are necessary or not, that discussion gets argumentative and boring. Itās not helped by the codes being so confusing they are hard to crack eg mastercard is known as seagull because the MasterCard head office is in Southend, where there are seagulls!
