In II can you run multiple OGS with the same week?

So, now that I have a little more II time playing with the site - I'm certainly agreeing with TUG that much of what's just out there isn't that great an exchange. However, it seems difficult for me to put in one OGS and wait a long time to see if it hits or not (or maybe I just don't understand the search system yet). Can I put in say something looking to match in a few locations (i.e. not just say Hawaii, but HHI, south FL, somewhere else) and create a new one if it hasn't matched if theres a new place I would be interested in and once one matches and I accept it the system (or I) cancel the others now that I've "used" the week?

Absolutely, but it is all part of the same ongoing search that you setup. You can setup multiple resorts with multiple dates.

Yeah I do that too. Setting up multiple dates / locations for one search (so you don’t have to prepay more). One funny thing for OGS is it always move the date to the prior Thursday.

I probably asked this before but every time it confuses me a hell as I don’t know if it will still match the Friday after the last check in date on Thursday it changes to. So if I do want that Friday check in date, do I have to jump one week forward to set the last check in date?

Yes, OGS are always Thursday to Thursday. So if you want to capture two weekends for possible checkin, then you need to make sure you make your end date the following Thursday.

Can you add more criteria to an existing OGS?

Wow, good to know. It really seems intentionally obtuse for some reason to me, but I'm learning.

Yes, you can modify an existing OGS. Add resorts/dates or remove resorts and dates.

Yeah cannot think of any good reason why they did this other than perhaps the original coder got drunk or high that day and all coders after were either stupid or lazy.
