    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....

"Special Offers"???

I was placing a classified ad and noticed a category choice I haven't seen before, "Special Offers". However, when looking at a list of classified forums I don't see one called "Special Offers", what am I missing here?
Thanks
 
Oops. There was supposed to be some text along with that link. I have no idea what happened to it. Anyway, it does seem kinda hidden. I didn't notice it until I was placing a want ad. There's a link to it on the "Home" page for classifieds, but you're right, there isn't one on the Forum home page like there is for the other categories.

^ that's the only place I see it, but I dunno if that helps any. :shrug01:
 
Perhaps if there aren't any ads in it, it won't show up...I think I have noticed the same thing for other categories.
 
The "Special Offers" section is simply a trial balloon to see what happens. I didn't see any reason to tie it into the main page of the forums, as I expected only people viewing the classifieds sections would be interested in it. Just extra work to set it up as a forum link, and I guess I was lazy about it.

Or is that a mistake on my part? Do most of you go to the classifieds through the front end of the forums? I tend to always click on the "NEW Classifieds" link at the top of the page to go there, but maybe I'm the odd one out in how I do it.

My link is set to " Reptile & Amphibian - Classifieds and Business Forums" main page. This allows me to go to either a reptile classifieds section or BOI since those are the forums I frequent the most, I have seperate bookmarks for the 2 discussion forums (Leopard Geckos and BP) and use those when I want to see what folks are chatting about.

That's exactly how I do it. I didn't realize the special offers were there until I was directed back to a different page after posting a want ad. I don't know how much work it would be to make a direct link, but I can guarantee you that I wouldn't be able to figure it out! :rofl:
I think the s.o. idea is a good one. I have some animals that need a good home, and I don't want to just post it in "adoptions". That forum gets trolled way too much (in my opinion, of course).
Yeah.
 
OK, I set up links to the NOTICES section as well as the Special Offers section. Thanks for pointing this out to me. Sometimes I forget that there is more then one way to skin a cat, and I ignore the fact that other people may use this site differently then I do.

Let me know if this is not what you had in mind.
