    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Alternate Classifieds section is closing down...

OK, the new mod to the classifieds section whereby photo thumbnails are made visible on the thread topic line seems to be working out well for folks, or at least I haven't gotten any complaints about issues concerning it. So I believe it is time to retire the Alternate Classifieds section on this site. Not only because the new mod for the forum classifieds does a similar enough job, but also because my programmer is concerned about some issues we have seen where hackers are trying to gain access to the server through that particular code. I could upgrade the PhotoPost code and pay to have it customized to match the way it works now, but honestly, why bother at this point?

So effective immediately (or as soon as I can get to it), the Alternate Classifieds section will be set to READ ONLY. No more new ads will be allowed to be placed there and all the classifieds should be directed to the forum based classified forums on this site.

Thank you for putting up with the confusing duplicated sections for the duration.......
 
Well, so much for that idea...........

My programmer told me he had to shut down the entire folder for the PhotoPost classifieds section in order to stop the probing by the hackers. He told me if I upgraded the software there, it MAY fix that problem.

But to be honest, I can't see any real reason to do that. So I guess my only real choice right now is to deep six that entire section. I had hoped to keep the ads available on a read only basis, but unfortunately, that doesn't appear to be a feasible plan.

Sorry folks, I guess that's just the way it has to be.
