• 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....

Unable to edit classified ad

The ability to edit posts in the discussion forums was removed after a few individuals abused it. This will also affect the forum based classifieds.

So have they classifieds become FREE ?
Because I thought we PAID for this service !

And, is this a temporary thing?

The classified ads have ALWAYS been free here, Jim. That is not a statement to the effect that they will always REMAIN that way, btw.

Editing of ads can take place within 7 days of your posting it. After that it is locked to further edits.

There are pros and cons to anything here. Some people prefer ads to be set in stone once they are placed so they can refer back to them after a transaction goes sour. Others want them to be able to be changed and deleted at will. There is no perfect solution to please everyone. And unfortunately, doing exception programming to accommodate specific areas of this site costs me money which I am just not willing to spend on it. Especially not for a *free* service.

I understand , I just wanted to delete some ads for animals I no longer have. And I need to adjust some prices on some others. I lowered prices on some stuff and wanted to adjust and update some pics.
I'll just make a new post to the particular thread. THANKS
