Some things end up on your to-do list for so long that they somehow fall off the bottom. Being indoors feeling a bit crook has given me a chance to address some of those fallen-off-the-list things.
One of those items was to move the Greenhithe website to a new server which I have now done. That has made the website slightly faster and more reliable but you probably won't notice which is exactly why I took so long about it!
Another one is the Classifieds, which has a few bugs in it. Expired listings lingered around forever and so listings were stale and cluttered up the pages.
- Listings still last for 31 days. No change there.
- You get emails reminding you to relist before expiry. When you do relist, your item will once again go to the top of the 'Last Items' list. That's different.
- You will get another email after the listing expires. At this time it is not visible to anyone else on the site, but you can re-publish it with a click of a button. That's new.
- A number of people have forgotten their user names and passwords by the time their listings expire, so the email contains a your user name and a link to reset you password if needed. That is also new.
Why not have a go now? Classifieds are free and totally localised.
Please email i...@greenhithe.org.nz if you have any questions, concerns or suggestions.
Thanks,
Barry
