Hi @kathleen414

@yvonnearmstrong @ray2
@team_leader & all .

Really glad this came up as
I was speaking to

@frenchielove @dtuxcomp
@caro120 @andyrh68 and
others just yesterday & yes
giffgaff Game Plan and the
sad loss of it and restarting
of archived threads such as
@cass905 's recycling one &
having a sub section maybe
in Tips and Guides for them
was suggested .

There were a lot of popular
threads in Gameplan & yes
they need a proper home &
in my opinion not randomly
scattered around I agree &
how about a tag like one .

Hot deals Travel saving Tips
and Recycling .

Thank you the_bookie
Soo many great will be lost and so it would be fab if we can bring them together under one tag and not lose them .

Hot deals & Tips.

'Let's talk money'.
That covers what Hot deals and Tips' doesn't. Eg: Life, household, holiday insurance, etc.

Where to go if your in financial trouble, not alot of people know what to do.

Recommendations for holidays, might interest members.
Have members been away and received a good accommodation/service.
Eg: budget, mid price, then dearer for those that require it.
They can even put photos on site now, thanks to new platform.

Would you buy?
This could be members asking others, 'would you buy a....'
Car/kitchen appliances etc. The members can offer feedback.

Just a few ideas whizzing Around my head. Hope they help.
It's a good community and members are good at sharing their experience.
🤗🤗🤗

claire1uk hi I agree with you about holiday recommendations, I’ve been to a few good B and B places over the years, some I’d return to and others I wouldn’t. Obviously I wouldn’t name the ones I would give a wide berth to.

Also I miss my banner 😂

ray2 i was speaking to @t_will about my kindle daily deals post ,when gameplan shuts down,he said hot deals would be moved across and for now put in tips and guides until a decision is made what to do with it ,but it seems that didn't happen .

Oh no, is it not clear that that happened? Hot Deals and Tips is now a secondary tag within Tips and Guides, we made that happen shortly after the migration. If that's not doing what you need it to, then we should talk about it, but all the content should still be available and when you're posting new stuff in the Hot Deals and Tips tag, you just need to make sure it's got the Tips and Guides tag first so it can appear. Those conversations can still happen 🙂

I've got a conversation with @alex_w early this week to go through feedback that you've all given , and I'll make sure he knows that edting the title of a thread you posted is an important change. In the mean time I'll edit the title of any thread that needs it - just ping me a message. For now I'll change the Kindle thread title to 'updated regularly) so at least people don't think it's two months old 🙂

claire1uk 'Let's talk money'.
That covers what Hot deals and Tips' doesn't. Eg: Life, household, holiday insurance, etc.

That's a good suggestion - one of the thoughts we had when talking about it in the office here was "Lifestyle and saving tips". It's tricky - you've got to make sure you don't give it a name that might confuse people that it's for help and support, which we would have all the time when we had the 'giffgaff money' brand - people would ask about topup and goodybags because they associated it with money.

t_will Hi will thanks for that,so if i go into tips and guides there is a tag for hot deals,i am really confused about all this tagging ? if i update the links on my post how do i make sure the post is tagged,sorry i struggle with the techie side of things,especially on here at the moment,i shall go have a tinkle and try suss it myself in the meantime,
i do like the idea of "Let's talk money" nice one claire1uk 😄

(Edit) to add it's showing the date december 2017 on my kindle post that was when i had to remake it so it still looks old t_will is there anyway of putting 2019 on it at least otherwise it looks like an old post still,also i have scrolled through tips and guide and scrolled ,i still can't find my kindle post so how are others meant to find it,i don't get the tagging of a post but suspect that when someone tells me how it works it will only benefit me finding the hot deals rather than other members being able to find it easily 😰

If feel if we have money in the heading it could turn some people away although I do like it .
We a tag line that draws member to have a look and hot deals is always a draw lol .
But let's see what we can come up with together

Shame our travel hubs gone
https://community.giffgaff.com/d/20313056-the-giffgaff-travel-hub
But i will search and see if i can find the content and try and put it back together

kathleen414

pamfletch t_will bluemoonbaz
If we could get the travel hub back and the Kindle thread plus more of the fab treads from around the community we can have a great place for everyone.

andyrh68

Very short sighted of them! Let's hope they come to their senses. Considering the dross that can be discussed on the general forum, it's a bit of a shock that all of these informative conversations have just been stopped cold.

bluemoonbaz

Brilliant to hear we have our hot deals and even better if we can construct a newtag will all the great content from the other places .
t_will
We had our travel hub with loads of great content

By other members but seems to have all been lost ..
https://community.giffgaff.com/d/20313056-the-giffgaff-travel-hub
Can we retrieve it ??
Found some of the link will still searching lol

onthelash

t_will kathleen414
Shame it's a bit hidden within another tag , I reckon it's worth it's own or more vsabilty .
Maybe change the tips and guides heading when look for the listings to
Tips guides and hot deals for now ?

the_bookie

A very good afternoon .
@kathleen414

@andyrh68 @claire1uk
@frenchielove @ray2
and all .

c/c @t_will

Long running threads
such as the travel hub
@bluemoonbaz yes &
the likes of Upcycling
by our @cass905

https://community.giffgaff.com/d/21516277-up-cycle-your-old-items-continued

Were big threads that
are exceptional & yes
do have pride & place
in the community & I
feel need resurrected .

As a lot of Gameplan
members put a lot of
hard work in & indeed
were enjoyed by lots
of us thanks .

bluemoonbaz

dtuxcomp kathleen414 @t_will
Maybe just merge them and it becomes Hot deals and Tips 🤔
Either way we need to make sure all the great contributions ,are not left in an archive and keep engaging the membership

dtuxcomp

kathleen414 I agree totally that we need to bring the various threads back under one umbrella tag, I don't have any bright ideas what to call it though 🙁 Really hard to narrow down the whole lot into one short title, Hot Deals, savings and tips kind of covers it, but as it's within the tips section ( I think ) the tips bit isn't needed 🙂

dtuxcomp

bluemoonbaz Either way we need to make sure all the great contributions ,are not left in an archive and keep engaging the membership

Good point, that's more important than the name, there's a lot of threads in limbo 🙁

the_bookie

@kathleen414 @dtuxcomp
@bluemoonbaz @ray2 &
all .

A very good evening .

Would it not seem Logical to
bring the popular redundant
ex Gameplan threads back
under a new tag rather than
restarting them again where
all the precious content gets
wasted and forgotten about
unfortunately .

dtuxcomp

the_bookie Definately, it would be great if we could have a replacement tag and just drop all the old threads in there ready to go 🙂
