• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

editing problems

What are you trying to change?
My understanding is that deleting single posts has been disallowed, because people were already exploiting that means to get around the updated bump policy.

Probably because those other classifieds sections have never really been utilized much here, so quite probably the permission set is lacking in some functionality. Honestly the reptiles sections have always been the main focus on this site, so I don't even think much of the other fauna related sections.

I'll try to take some time to look at them when I can to get those sorts of problems straightened out, though.
 
Oh, I was just going to make a new thread on why it won't let me delete a reply on my classified. I was able to edit, but I now understand, that makes sense. I was wondering how people would bump so many times without replying with a "bump" or so on. Thanks for that info Harald.
 
Jeremy,
Paid members can bump their ads via the Classifieds Panel. It moves the ad up, just as if a post was made (it will even show up in the New Posts log, indicating a new post...there just isn't one).
For anybody that hasn't yet found & familiarized themselves with the Classifieds Panel, open the User CP. The Classifieds Panel is at the top (look for the following: )
Classifieds Panel
Click here to access your classifieds control panel and administer your classifieds!
Click to expand...
Once inside, you will see all of your ads...in the righthand column, you will see options to Bump, Delete, or Lock your ads. Click on the option you want.
(who knew that managing your ads could be so easy!!)
 
Thank you for the info. I was aware of the "bump" feature, I wasn't trying to bump, I was trying to uncludder my ad, lol. Thanks for the reminder though.
 
I was actually throwing that out for the masses....seems a lot of people (regardless of membership level) don't know how simple it is to manage their ads :shrug01:

Oh, one other thing - if one clicks Edit, then Go Advanced, the title can be changed, as can the prefix....making it easy to mark the animal as SOLD!!
