• 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....

How come some of my old classified ads the edit button is gone. Since I am the last poster on those threads I can not post for an update and I can not go to the first post and mark certain animals as "sold"

What is the time line/cut off time to edit a post?
 
I can't remember what the cutoff time is, but I had to do that after a few instances of maturity challenged members got their panties in a wad and went back through as many posts as they could to just edit out the entire contents. Played hell on a lot of threads at the time.

So yeah, this is the kind of crap we have to put up with, then try to set up safeguards to keep it from happening in the future.
 
I think you said a while back that classifieds could be edited by the OP for 6 months?
Realistically, I would think that if an ad has been around for 3-4 months, most people would just (delete it) and post a new one.

Actually the length of time to allow editing is a global feature and cannot be customized for each forum. I actually wish it could, as it would make situations like this much easier to manage. But it's just not the kind of thing I want to throw custom coding at to make it the way I want it. It's getting too expensive to do upgrades to the vBulletin software with all those modifications that have to be rewritten each time.
