New TUG2.com website now live for all owners!

Brian I really like the new look for the market place. I use it frequently to see rentals/sales listed. I am curious about the listings availability. Do the listers have the ability to remove the adds when rented or sold? Can they be edited to say no longer available? I on occasion look through a lot of adds and wonder if they are all still available. By marking the adds this way it would also show the effectiveness of the marketplace.
 
all the marketplace functionality remains the same as the previous marketplace.

all ads expire in 90 days if not extended
all ads can be marked as sold/rented.
 
Review Posted Without Paragraph Breaks

I posted a review of Marriott's Ocean Pionte. I know that when I copy pasted it in to the review form it had paragraph breaks. However when I look at the review that has been posted, there are no paragraph breaks.
 
yes, I can see the formatting and line spaces fine in the submitted review. Will look into it, thank you!

My guess - submitted review is plain text but when pasted into review html it lacks the specific <p> and/or <b> html codes to force line breaks for online display.
 
great feedback, I can see the issue with the search keyword...hopefully thats an easy fix. will let you know!

Thanks for fixing the search issue.

I tested my two classified ads by filling out the contact owner fill. They both generated an email with an attachment. The attachment didn't have a file extension so I didn't know which app to use to open it. Was it sent in error?

Also the first line in the email response states "New Wish Message" which seems strange for an alert for an classified ad response.

Thanks again
 
there are no attachments sent with emails, although the TUG logo is included on all TUG notification emails, so im guessing your email client perhaps included the imbedded graphic as an attachment?

just a guess though as I dont see said attachments in messages I send to myself.

what email client are you using?
 
Updates for the TUG Marketplace - Some resorts are named "Hilton Grand Vacation Club" instead of "Hilton Grand Vacations Club".

I'm still finding some without the "s"
- Elara Hilton Grand Vacation Club (Planet Hollywood Towers)
- Hilton Grand Vacation Club at Anderson Ocean Club
- Hilton Grand Vacation Club HGVC Points

Hmmm... that's possible. I'm using AOL. I'll ignore all future attachments.

These have been updated on the actual resort names themselves, but we have to manually refresh the "autofill" box any time we change a resort name. its preloaded for much faster response time vs querying the entire database for names as folks type things in.

the s's will appear the next time that task runs to refresh that preloaded data.

this has been corrected, thank you.

Don't like new TUG Marketplace set-tup

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I don't like it that now when you get a message in response to a wish ad or whatever that you have to send an email from your own private address. Used to be confidential- you could respond within the TUG message center. What if the message is from a spammer? Maybe I do not want to give out my private email initially...now I am forced to if I want to respond.

I also find it harder to navigate- can't tell exactly what is new on the watch list...

I know you have to get used to it, but so far not liking it.

I don't recall ever being able to respond to a message directly from a Marketplace ad... only from a private message in the BBS/Forum side.

This has always been how you respond to marketplace messages, no changes here have been made.

new items are flagged as "new" on the watch list...there should be a bright yellow icon indicating what is new on those resorts you have listed there.
 
only shows one line break for me between sentences?
 
scratch that, I see it now.
 
Just ran across problem

I noticed a problem with the market place ads. When I go to my resort watch list and do a sort, it appears only my ad does not fall into the proper sort when i do a sort by weeks both ascending and descending. My ad is #141144 for week 46 Royal Islander

While I dont see a sorting error when viewing the ads for that resort and sorting by date (they all show up in order for me both backwards and forwards)....I do see some usage date passed ads that shouldnt be there...so thank you for bringing this to my attention!

reading your post again, you seem to be talking about your resort watch list? vs the marketplace?

can you elaborate on exactly what page you are on and the error or glitch you see? Thanks!
 
I initially saw it when on accessed through my watch list (mostly Mexico) and was looking at the Royal Islander. Later I entered through the marketplace (Mexico for rent) and had the same thing occur, my week 46 was not in sequence, but found it later down the list. Most ads will follow the sorting selection, but if you keep scrolling down you will see towards the end some ads that are out of sequence, my week 46 included. I added my ad on 1-5-2015 so don't know if add date has any bearing on the problem.
 
No clue where to post this but I am trying to put a review of Dreams Villa Magna Resort in Nuevo Vallarta Nayarit Mexico but it is not listed. Please advise..Thanks in advance
