New adverts web page

You are the one who abuses anything and everybody - get back in my kill file.

JUST WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM.

Someone is attempting to provide something for the benefit of everyon else and you have taken the opportunity to post a personal insult t one of these people.

I've looked back through previous posts and see that you frequentl accuse people of poor behavior just because they don't agree with you

You win first prize for "infantile outbursts" if quantity of posts wit that phrase in is anything to go by.

You also can't seem to make your mind up on your own name.My prope name and email is in my profile.

You even jumped in on one of my posts to berate "Blackgates" who several people I know have had good dealings with and no problems.

Whoops, Ive done it again.

I was referring, to Adrian Godwinn's reply to Andrew Mawsons thread "Chris Heapy", and didn't read it again properly. He quoted the astronomy site, and said Chris was reportely fed up with the hassle of the his own site.

I assumed, probably quite wrongly that he was still having trouble trying to sort out private from dealer ads. Apologies for misleading anybody.

Please ignore my "bickering statement", and put it down to old age, or idiocy.

The rest was meant as thanks and compliments.

Best Regards,

Tom.

Nunce, etc, and it's just come back and hit me.

Frankly I'm amazed at the references to any upsets, having read and used

Maybe Mr Bean has actually forgotton his name !

Mix up the letters a bit and any one of these would probably do just a well.

I only know what was posted in the astronomy ng.

Personally, I've had only excellent deals through those ads, but I guess some people who were less satisfied have whinged, without any justification, at Chris. That sort of thing gets to you after a while ..

BTW, there's no obvious way on the new site to edit an existing ad. I realise this causes some problems, but it's very useful to be able to either withdraw an ad, or mark it 'sold'. Will this be possible ?

Good Point. Lets cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime an email to snipped-for-privacy@homeworkshop.org.uk will suffice.

Hi Charles, Will you be giving each ad a serial number so we can refer to them easily especially when requesting you to edit/delete?

Can I add my appreciation t the stream of other for your and the cynical trader's efforts.

If the volume becomes big enough to warrant a sophisticated method like urn's then we'll use them. However the venture will only float if there is a steady flow of ads and people know about it so tell people and post an ad!

Charles

Thanks Mark.

Chris has apparently returned, and there are a few ads posted for January.

However, he seems to have turned the astroads over to a guy who started a replacement site : I don't whether he wants to do the same with the model engineering ads.

Really? I just looked & the most recent ad I can see is still 16th December.

Regards, Tony

Tony,

I am getting 22 January - about a dozen ads. Could your machine be reading a cache perhaps? Mine was to start with!

Mike

Yes, there are now January 2005 and December 2004 headings on the page. (though the December listing has nothin later than 16th). Maybe something to do with your ISP's cache ?

You can get there directly via

Thanks - yes, it must have been a cached page - a few clicks on the refresh button fixed the problem.

Regards, Tony

I would guess he wants rid of it based on this comment at the top of the page...

'The least I can do then is to continue for the next 6 months or until I can pass the task over to someone else, with a suitable redirect to another site ahould it be necessary. '

Charles Ping and myself have contacted Chris to see if we can take over the running of the page. We have had an alternative site up now for about a week and other than a few hiccups our end with the adverts coming in it seems OK. Charles has been working on it over the weekend sorting the scripting out and it seems a lot better. At the end of the day the decision is up to Chris, what we don't want to do is run two pages as that won't help anyone.
