    How to create a public wishlist [guide]

    The Short Version

    - Create a Wish List and set it to Public.
    - Get your Wish List ID (it's the last 8 digits of your wish list URL).
    - Replace the XXXXXXXX in this link with your wish list ID:
         http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=XXXXXXXX


    Detailed Version

    Step 1:
    Add the items to a temporary wishlist by clicking the "Add to Wishlist" button directly below the "Average Rating" eggs.

     

    Step 2:
    Click "Login to save this temporary wish list or to view/modify your saved wish lists" and enter your Newegg account information.
    (note: may differ from your Eggxpert account info)

     


    Step 3:
    Select the items you wish to add to the wishlist, and enter a name for the wish list under "Save selected items to a NEW wish list".buc
    (I used "1337 Combo" for the name) -- Then click the "Create New" button.


    Step 4:
    Click the "My saved wish lists" tab.


    Step 5:
    Select the wish list you want to share from the list and click the button labeled "Share".


    Step 6:
    Click the wish list name you just enabled sharing for.
    (It will have a check under the "Shared" Column.)


    Step 7:
    In your URL bar, copy the last eight digits.
    (This is the Wish List ID.)


    Step 8:
    Replace the last 8 digits in this URL with the last 8 digits from your Wish List ID:

    http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=11084152

     

    The finished URL should say PublicWishDetail and not MySavedWishDetail.

    Good (A Public Wish List that anyone can view):
    http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=11084152

    Bad (A Private Wish List that only you can view):
    https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=11084152

    Thanks.  I'll give it a try.  It beats waiting a day for Newegg to get around to listing it.

    Freedom's the Answer.
    What's the Question?

    Re: How to create a public wishlist [guide]

    In Firefox it's a bit more complicated. Paste to the page normally, then highlight what you just pasted to the page. then click the  button, and paste the link in the url area. And your link will be clickable. IE automates things like that, only drawback to FF in the forums............

    I walk outside first thing in the morning to hear a sound and look up to see a Hawk pounce on a Blue-bird from high above.

    Leaving nothing more than a plethora of feathers slowly floating to the ground.

    This is the year of the Predator, don't be the prey............

    Re: New Computer Building Forum!

    i checked, your link didn't show it. think it needs to be wrote like this http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=22418245 (also if anyone has the time, could they take a look at my list and see if it is all compatible? lol)

     

    basically i took my number "ID=22418245" and clicked on someone elses link, removed their code and put mine. I tried it with your number, but i don't think its public. did you make it a saved wish list? and in the "my shared wishlist" tab, does your wish list have a check mark under the "shared" column?
