Will the real BRENT MILLS please answer??

[Dimis]

I'm with Chas in suggesting we all know how to use evil*bay, should one feel the need to look for such items.

I would object to an ebay update once every couple of months (if it is a money spinner for the site) but the auto RSSfeed is quite frankly annoying.

My 2 cents

M2W ......You now know the content of the "robot thread"..

SO DON'T GO THERE!!!!!....If you don't click you won't be so bloody bothered about it...

Now would one be so inconvenienced by this if their own car was amongst those being so forcefully rammed down our throats!!!

I'll write this in crayon for you Ozzie-it's the TREND of automated advertising and social links I and several others are 'bloody bothered' about. Having figured out how to build my own car, I had figured out that I could just ignore the threads.
I hope Brent's response is more constructive than yours.

Again it's a choice do I follow the TREND and use its content or do I IGNORE it !!

..... I hope my crayons aren't TOO colourful...

Check outside your "NO JUNK MAIL" sign must have fallen off your mailbox..

Kind regards OZZIE...

Chas, would you like me to teach you how to filter java script? Or, you could add the feed to your ignore list under your user control panel. It will then look something like this:

[computerworks]

I have explained this to many over the last week or so....here it is again:

Brent has installed an automated posting account that picks up relevant listings on eBay and robo-posts them in only THREE sub-forums: Cobras, GT40 and FE Talk.

The feed comes in on a timer and posts several times a day TO THE SAME THREADS.

It is meant to be a convenience tidbit. If it doesn't work out, I am sure it will be removed.

If it currently bothers you....don't read that thread. Or "Ignore" the username that posts the feeds.
If "change" bothers you, I am sorry for you.

There is no "risk" involved...there is no spam involved; it is simple an auto-poster.

That is nonsense.

Most likely was removed because it did not show the paid forum sponsor in a professional manner....

What question did you ask? ...and to whom. I zap dozens of posts a day...and always answer any queries.
Be specific.

But knowing that it's now a fact here, I (and Terry) asked why it can't be done in another form-like the classifieds. I didn't see any of the explanations on the forum. An explanation to a reported post did not come from Brent.

It is meant to be a convenience tidbit. If it doesn't work out, I am sure it will be removed. That's something positive. Why not poll the membership?-Wait, I know-we don't have to poll anybody...

If "change" bothers you, I am sorry for you.

Change doesn't bother me so save the sorrow. I didn't write this to aggravate the administration. As I wrote earlier-automated robots and Tweeters doesn't feel like a 'Club' Cobra. Especially when electronic changes just appear without prior notice. -I know, it's Brent's to do as he pleases and there's no need for any explanations to any of us.

Thanks Pat for your well-intentioned help. I have studied the Ignore List instructions since you joined the forum...

Glad you understand things now.

Dear kind Moderators,

Seeing as eBay ads are normally posted to run for a week, I see no relevance to an hourly update!
Perhaps this could altered to a weekly update as opposed to the current more frequent arrangement.

Just a thought...

Kindest regards,
Anth

PS: thanks for your work on CC, I really enjoy and appreciate the website.

Right now the RSS Feed posts only twice a day; the job is on a 12 hour-cycle.

I am more than PI$$ED off at that reply. A simple "it can't happen" would have been fine.

It can't happen...because it doesn't make sense.
