    Default New Glitch in the Classifieds

    I had two shaving brushes in separate ads in miscellaneous. The ads ran the 15 days and this morning, rather than being 'expired' they are both marked SOLD. I received no email notification of a sale and there are no additional $ in my paypal account so I can only assume that the good news was a glitch ?

    Jimmy I made post about what I think is a glitch too in the classifieds.
    Once an item is sold it still counts towards the number of adds permitted per person. Also one can't delete sold items adds, or adds that have been listed for long time and the item was not sold. So for not it looks like as soon as one has 6 adds(sold or active) that is it, one can't post adds any more.

    Jimmy, that's not a 'glitch', it's a 'feature'. The difference being how the software maker sees it. (Used to be different in the older versions, but at the end of the day I suspect his answer would be along the lines 'When you write your software you can do it anyway you like. I do mine the way I want it to be.')

    Gugi is right (write it down on your calendar, hehe). The classifieds dev wrote a 2-word dictionary especially for that feature. It reads "expired = sold" By the way, I hope you are enjoying all the new features here
