Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Email notifications
Has anyone else noticed that the Email Notifications for subscribed threads no longer quote the message that has been posted?
I, for one, would like to see this feature restored. There are times when it's nice to see what has been posted without having to actually visit the thread.

Heck, you're lucky to get e-mail notifications. I haven't received one in for quite some time.

David,
This may seem like a stupid question, but do you have your Default Thread Subscription Mode set to "Instant Email Notification"?

I did have it set up that way and even just went and checked to see if it was changed for some reason but it is set to receive "instant e-mail Notification" yet I don't receive them. Nor do I receive the e-mail notification for PM's sent to me. I'm at a loss as to the reason(s).

I disabled that function of the email notifications. I was getting inundated with emails from people who thought they could simply reply to that message and it would go to the member who posted that reply to the thread. Even though I had already put a notice in that notice that they could not do that.
So I had to take a more drastic step to try to accomplish that goal.
This also had a side effect that could have been a problem for members concerning their posted ads here. Those replying to those emails concerning replies to their classified ads may think they were simply being ignored when they never got a reply to THEIR email message. So quite frankly, that function could have cost them business inadvertently.
Sorry, but with all things considered, that just needed to be done.

Another case of a good/useful function that gets taken away because some people are to stupid to know an automated notification from a website, has nothing to do with origination to/from the person who wrote the post. That it is a notification that someone replied to a thread one is "subscribed" to, not a private e-mail.  stupid people seem to be multiplying exponentially (the idiots probably won't know what that means either)

OK - I understand and I don't disagree with your decision. But in my mind, it makes the email notifications completely useless, so I think that they should be removed altogether.
However, I think there is a bug in the sytem as I have changed my preferences to No Email Notification, but I am still receiving them. Is there a time frame that must pass before these changes become effective?
Thanks,

Sorry but I disagree with your assessment of my decision. The email notifications still server a worthy purpose by notifying members that a thread they are subscribed to has had a reply posted to it. In the case of classified ads, I feel this is essential to the members placing those ads so they know they have a potential customer on the line.
If you want to terminate email notifications from threads, you need to UNSUBSCRIBE from them. That is the best way to do that.

If you are subscribed to threads and DON'T receive the notifications, then I would suspect the problem is at your ISP.
