Colin Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Advertising the same item over and over again in the Times they would have to pay. Yes, but at least they might get some "free" proof readingeg; Drum Moar??Almost excusable Mixing Bowel??Oh please... Matterass??What you get from using a "Mixing Bowel" and, my all time favourite Chester Drawers??What kind of knickers are those?

as Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 is it really necessary to completely clog entire pages by advertising toys? Seventy ads for mainly low cost kid's toys by the same advertiser. FFS, group the toys together and place just a few ads and then interested parties can scroll through that. I really would hope that Shetlink starts charging for ads and puts a limit on the number of ads that can be placed by each individual. At the moment the Classified section is a complete joke and (IMHO) widely abused with T&C's blatantly ignored. I have reported ads in the past and in some cases the ads were either never removed or only to be re advertised a short time later. I have now given up reporting offenders. It's just a waste of time and the habit of people closing and rewording their ads to bump them back to the top is getting rediculous. I very much appreciate the mods have a life outside Shetlink, but over the years quite a few people have volunteered to moderate the Classifieds... end of rant.

Colin Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Were there really 70? Didn't count them myself, just rubbed my eyes and moved on. Pity is that anyone advertising something worthwhile(?) gets it buried under a deluge of "tat" . I wonder if they would be allowed to advertise so much stuff (for free) at the Shetland Times?

as Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 count has gone up to 72.... seriously.Yep, no point advertising anything while this is allowed to carry on. I am going to split open a bag of coal, photograph each lump (after all, they are all individual sizes and appearances ) and then place an advert for each single one. I wonder how long it would take until action is taken? BigMouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuckoo Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Why not sell the kid and state all toys come free ,would only be one advert ! BigMouth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capeesh Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 An advert in the classifieds right now seems to be attracting attention going by the number of views, it's titled "Bra and Pants found"That's all you see in the "latest classified" bit on the Shetlink homepage.Yes, I'm ashamed to say curiosity got the better of me too.

Joanne Louise Krusche Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Can ANYONE HELP ME to UNSUBSCRIBE from ALL SHETLINK ADVERTISING and POSTS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hi Joanne. If you click on your name in the top right of the screen there's a window that should appear with options including 'content I follow' where you can deselect anything you've subscribed to.

trout Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 This almost sounds like you're "Subscribed" to a category in the Classifieds? i.e. subscribed to have emails sent to you when one is entered into a category or at the top level thus receiving one from every category entry. Go to the Classifieds section and check whether a button at the top of the section has "Unsubscribe" on it (or whatever category you're receiving email from). If so you possibly by accident clicked on the "Subscribe" and not realised and are now getting an email from every category. Also check here: https://www.shetlink.com/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=notifications EDIT: I've blanket removed all notifications being sent to you from the classifieds section. Sorry that this has been a frustrating time for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James-R Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Is it possible to have a D.I.Y. section, as it would save us from scrolling through all the current pages looking for bits and bobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George. Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Why does just about everything get listed under "Boats", regardless of whether it's a boat or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muckle need Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Apparently my emails are getting returned and 'bouncing' so Shetlink has disabled my address until I change it. How can I change it when it's the only one I have ??? I've tried re entering the old one but obviously it won't accept it!!! Can anybody out there help ???
