Well, I am still one of those without my personal e-mail addy listed on my member page, but can have e-mail sent to me through GW. In the past, I have had my addy listed and have had serious problems with spam mail that comes from other forums on GW. Since I post on quite a few of the other forums on GW, I found that some of them do have their fair share of spam type posts; advertising for various websites, products etc. When my e-mail addy was available for anyone to see, these posts would pop up on these other GW forums and within an hour or so I would have the spam coming to my e-mail box about the product, site etc. Once I realized where all this spam was coming from, I removed my addy from my member page, and that was the end of the spam coming from here. Hope you all understand why I no longer have my e-mail addy available to see, but as I said, you can send it through GW and I would say that 95% of the time I don't have a problem getting it. Fran

It looks like the email issue has been fixed however, any changes that were made (trade list updates, etc.) were not backed up. For instance, I did an 'overhaul' on my trade lists yesterday... everything was saved and it was reflected on my member page last night. This morning, it's back to how it was prior to GW having issues. Was nothing backed-up when they were working on the email problem?

Melissa, I guess it's just a preference, but I like the nice simple pages. I've been trading since 2001 and they are fine by me. As a matter of fact, sometimes simplicity is prefered since I can just zoom right through the list. That's how I create mine when I get everything set to go which is usually when the snow has started to fly.

Hi Connie, I would love to set up a trade with you. I had a look at your list (it's back!)and I'm interested in a couple of things. I also have a couple of your "wants" that are not on my list yet. So, without an e-mail link how the heck do we do this??? Sure hope they get the bugs worked out soon, this is so frustrating! Cindy
