Can you come back with what the number of the advert is?
 
i.e. /classifieds/item/3107-wooble/
 
or at least the numeric part of it. will have a look to see

Perhaps if you provided articulate and reasoned dialogue to complement your little outburst there people may give it more credence.

Notification emails have been kinda funky these last few days. We got the gimp out the box and they've been beaten into submission and looking into that.
 
When an advert expires you are sent a notification - ideally! - and then you can re-list. You can check it all out here:

If it's any consolation 'anyone' signed up as a member to Shetlink can post in Shetlink's classifieds section. You can add as many pictures as you can to a 5Mb overall limit.
 
Not just registered members but, 'anyone', can view your classified. It is even indexed by the major search engines; especially Google, pulling in even more people to view your Shetland classified advertisement.
 
Shetlink's online community is not like Facebook's closed nature either - you don't even have to be a member to view - most things that is; if you do register you get added functionality such as Private Messaging, notifications, and additional forums for instance.
 
As an added bonus, all Shetlink classified adverts are displayed automagically on Shetlink's Facebook Page thereby providing access directly to your Shetland adverts from Shetlink across Facebook's integrated user functionality. i.e. one can like, discuss, etc. Shetlink classifieds directly in Facebook.
 
Now with login functionality, anyone whom is a member of Facebook can also log into (+register if not already) Shetlink simply by using their Facebook login. You can connect your current Shetlink account through this mechanism also if desired.
 
 
Yep, I know!   It was an advertisement opportunity! You can't slide Shetlink for that 

For clarity, this is in regards to the Shetland Classifieds on Facebook and nothing at all to do with Shetlink or associated Facebook classifieds feed from here!
 
[EDIT]
Looking into what's what. Presumably, the closed group aspect of their pages is a form of moderation? I suspect it's a thankless task.

SP you've outdone yourself again   Make sure you don't get it all over your keyboard!
 
Pretty outstanding generalisation there and really just speaks volumes.

Would you wonder if wearing a Gollywog suit would be considered wrong too? Perhaps it'd just be seen as something harmless? Wonder if anyone would like to debate and discuss that as a topic? Hmm? 

Normally i can't stand "debates" where people post links and quote others when trying to make a point. It's just lazy.
 
However, I will do exactly that here, and as be as stereotypical as possible by quoting Stephen Fry, who in this case most definitely hit the nail square on the head :
 
"It's now very common to hear people say, 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more... than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well, so f**king what."

And you wonder why folk give up contributing to some threads!

Not the air support for the long awaited liberation of the beleaguered natives of Forvik from the tyrannical rule of the nautical invader, was it.

^^ Yes, I know what you mean I can empathise exactly why expressing "dislike" in the way detailed would be advantageous. The ability is there but, it hasn't been set live.
 
Let me explain. The reasoning behind this is it takes more to write well written, reasoned, and logical posts (receiving "likes" ideally) than it is to just "dislike" someone's post; as you may be in a heated exchange with them for instance. There are many variations of this same theme.
 
Over time, "good", well written posts will give Shetlink members "good" reputation. Wirking utter sharn and being no good to the community will get you nothing - much like real life 

Latest posts are back!

Again thank you for your patience in the conversion of the original Shetlink software to the new setup.
 
Unfortunately, the largest and most unforeseen issue arose around the PM system. Again there has been some teething problems and the system has been completely purged rather than allow it to go as it stood.
 
What does this mean? Any new PM's sent today have also unfortunately been deleted.
 
The bonus; rather a trite one, is the database isn't clogged to the hilt but, yes not ideal in circumstances where Shetlink users have been communicating on items in the classifieds section.
 
Anyhow. Shetlink trusts this can be overseen for the new setup and interesting new features available.
 
Hope you enjoy.

Ok .. ideally that should be that fixed?! Do reply or PM should there be any other such issues ...

^^ Hi. The current homepage is the old homepage pulling in the various news sites. It's the same - just styled differently.
