For those that have not yet noticed, there is an Upcoming Events calendar on the Community News and Forum page. The view can be sorted by Agenda (current default), Week, or Month. Also, the calendar can be imported into Google Calendar by selecting the button in the lower right hand corner. You can select which calendar events you would then like to add to your personal calendar and never miss another meeting/event again!

The "top 10" what? There's a spot on the Community page where you can see the Top 10 reviewers... There's a tab on the home page where you can see the "Bestsellers"

I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for...

Here's an interesting feature I was not aware of previously. Each post on the forum has an approximate time that it was posted listed to the far right. If you mouse over this time, you will see the exact date and time that the post was made.

Haha. I'm sorry. I mean the the top 10/50 . . . in each category. I find items that are listed as "top 10" and I want to see what the others are!

When I look on the "Product Search" page, there are no longer the six options beneath the "manufacturer" drop down menu. So you can't click on "manufacturer sponsored" since it isn't there any more. Has this part of the search engine been discontinued?

Everything seems to be working for me. I can click the dots to select a free assignment and then narrow down by manufacturer, or I can use the drop down menu to see if there are assignments available from any specific manufacturer.

I'm not sure what you mean by six options.

As with BBWTTs example:


Go to the product search page link, then select "for free assignment." A new set of options should appear including "Manufacturer sponsored."

Thanks Sam and Kindred, but I still don't see the six buttons under the "manufacturer" drop down menu.

Screenshot

The ones badly circled in red do not appear on my screen. (Sorry, I don't know how to take a picture of my screen, so I just saved the pic provided and circled the bits that were missing when I opened that page.) Are those options something that appears only when you reach a certain rank?

I figured it out. It's because you are not an Advanced Reviewer. The Product Search function is to help Advanced reviewers find assignments.

Here's a shopping tip I discovered recently:

Ever wish you could send a special gift to a member of the community but they don't happen to have it on their wishlist? No problem! As long as they have a public wishlist with the gift registry activated (this is very important), you can send them anything you want from EF. Simply add any item from their wishlist into your shopping cart. This captures their information for shipping. You can then add any other item you want, even if it is not on their wishlist. Then, simply delete the original item you added from their wishlist. The remaining items will still be sent to their shipping address. Also, don't forget to add a free gift option as a bonus!

That's a cool loop hole you found there, I know a few folks that I can use that for.

And there should be a small note, mentioning the mentor program.
I agree. I didn't know about it until I was already advanced. I wish I could have had a little extra help with it.
