Sailor47:

1) We have listened to the feedback but the positive feedback has been 99% of the feedback received. Since launching the new software to manage the classifieds there have been 2,864 items listed for sale valued at over $3,157,503. Over 1,086 items were marked as sold. There is not one single product that would satisfy every personality in The Villages so we have to use what can serve the largest audience.

2) With thousands of items for sale no individual item can stay at the top of the list. This was a big complaint with the old system and there was no way to search. You had to click through hundreds of pages to see what was there. With our new program there are categories so you can search by category and there is also a search box and you can also set your view to be not just 24 but up to 200 items at a time to view. Non of this functionality was available on the old system. There is much more functionality also built into the new system in addition to this.

3) On the old system or new system there are users that intentionally or unintentionally try to post and they are not inside the Villages. Multiple moderators are monitoring the site throughout the day and night as well as user/residents that help us and we look for anything outside the Villages and immediately remove it. If you find anything please let us know immediately and we will remove.

4) Please email us a screen shot of the threat alarm you are describing and we can assist. That is not a system wide issue so we can try to assist you directly.
