Scathach,
I changed the category on that ad for you. The category is only editable by an admin because categories can be tied to different payment plans. A lot of classified sites charge users to post ads, depending on the category. So in order to prevent people from posting a free ad, and then changing the category to a paid one (but not paying), the system only allows admins to edit the category. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way for a free site to bypass this behavior, but I don’t expect that the need to change categories will come up a lot, so for now just contact Susie or me if you need this done.
Thanks, Clay.
Life is beautiful.
August 8, 2016 at 6:08 pm #1488696How do you reset the expiration date on your ads? All of my ads either expired or are waiting for approval.
August 8, 2016 at 10:04 pm #1488729Yeah, I’ll be honest, I’m not sure what to do about the ads as well. I can edit them, but that doesn’t seem to help them get approval. One got approved somehow, but the others say they are inactive (only me and an admin can see them), and I don’t know how to activate them.

I renewed your ads for you. Please if you (or anyone else) have ads that are disabled/expired, and that you want enabled, contact me and I will take care of it. I’m still figuring out this system, which is a bit complicated because some issues seem to be temporary (due to the transition) and others may not be. Looking at your ads, I think the issue was that they expired before we shut the old site down for migration. It appears the only way for non-admin users to renew ads is to click the “renew” link in the email that gets sent to you 3 days before expiration. Since your ads were already expired, those emails were not sent.
August 9, 2016 at 8:19 am #1488815TO users with aol.com email addresses:
Most (if not all) of our complaints from users about not receiving our emails have come from users with aol.com email addresses. I installed software that logs all of our outgoing email messages, and the mail log has confirmed my suspicion that the system is sending out all the emails that it’s supposed to, but they are not getting through to people using aol addresses. I will get this resolved with aol, but in the meantime if you need help with anything because of this issue, please contact us.
August 9, 2016 at 4:23 pm #1488949I didn’t get a message that the PYO Chickens had been added to the store. I am anxious about it, with the baby unis on their way, soon! I would be very sad to miss them. Details that may help: I am on Gmail. No, it’s not in my junk folder. I have received several other Windstone emails today – PM Notifications, Ad expiration emails, etc. Do we need to sign back up for store notifications somewhere? Thanks.

The announcement of the PYO Hen, and later when they are ready, for the Grab Bag Baby Unicorn, will go out via the Mail Chimp Announcement system (to subscribe to our announcements see the SUBSCRIBE/CONNECT box in the lower right of your screen), which means the email isn’t sent by our website. There should be no problem with delivery of those messages (At any rate, I hope there is no problem!).

Oh Good! I was just worried the messaging system was playing up. Glad to hear it just hasn’t been sent yet. Thanks for the clarification, Susie!

doesn’t work, I tried it with the link given for my soon to expire Black Gold lap, it shows I’m renewed on the link but my ads aren’t renewed in the regular site…my tanuki is still stuck in waiting approval here but it stays all my things are renewed/later expiration date in the link location….
4 things I'm looking for:
1. Mother Meerkat
2. production color Sitting Young Oriental dragons to be made in more colors besides VF, Brimstone would be awesome!
3. Female Griffin – Siamese with White

As of this morning your Black Gold lap and tanuki ads are both up and show an expiration date of 8/26/2016. I don’t know whether Clay put them through or whether the system is slow for some reason.
