It seems that the software glitch is getting almost as ugly as I told the man behind the curtain that it would.  For those that haven't figured it out, there is a way to get your ad to bump.  I'm sure many people that seem to be doing it don't know that they are, but it's unfair in it's current situation.

Soooo, here's what I'm thinking...check the box, don't check the box.  Who cares?  BUT, I can't allow any replies to the original ad.  Fair?  Lets talk about it.

prior to implementing.  Sorry, I wasn't clear on that.  Even so, there will be times that I'm not around and people will post.  I'll go back in and blast.

The software was poorly written and short of disallowing all ads, there's nothing I can do to make it perfect.  Oh, I guess that might not be perfect either.  I'm peddling as fast as I can...

From my phone.Is this supposed to happen?It shuts my internet browser on my phone completely  down.Weird!

i see a providers ad up right now, where they did not click the "AD"  box, so they would keep getting bumped to the top...

And someone was just allowed to reply to her "AD" post that was not checked as an AD and it was bumped right up to the top....there goes the not allowing anyone to reply to ad posted that are cheating the system....

Frankly, you are to be commended in your attempts at being a Company Boy. Yet with no salary and plenty of other headaches and fires to put out as a moderator, I think time can be better spent.

Look, they made the mess we were handed. There is a lot of frustration out there on all the boards. What little you might implement would have little to no effect in changing things.

People should be allowed to complain as long and as hard as they wish to about the bugs and problems issues with both mobile and static systems. Why try to put a bandaide on it and them keep monitoring the wound to check the bandage? Again, they made it and programmers do not come cheap, at least not as cheap as you come. lmao

Personally, I have been using the new system from the beginning. I have tried to force myself and have learned from asking question and kept plowing through it. I am not as hi-tech as others and the only thing I use my phone call for is answering the dang thing.

In any business and especially one where customers are waling away, it would seem that admin could post on all the boards a progress report from time to time. This can tell everyone that they are aware of the list of problems that people are incurring. And, what intermediate measures are being taken to resolve them. All this as opposed to ignoring the paying customers day in and day out. With a response and/or a posting of where TER was at with the new system would build a lot of bridges towards maintaining customer satisfaction, which again is not the job of a moderator. That's the job of the owners or administrators.

Again, I personally am using it since day one and getting used to it. I have never complained about the system, that is until now. rofl

RANT OFF

That's my feedback and I,m sticking to it!

I use the old classic board so its not a issue to me. Plus alot of people are still using the old system. Many people don't care about the news ads being bumped up unless they are shopping daily for providers.

The new software is a mess and i honestly can't stand the new look and design of the "NEW" TER. I liked the old look and will continue to use the old classic version until it gets phased out. AFTER THAT...I am not sure

give us a chance to reply WHEN we post the ad so we can ad an xtra pic or two...
