ActiveRain, I Have A Brilliant Idea!  Why Don't You Make ActiveRainers Completely Nuts?

 

Oh, never mind!  You just did!  And, you bragged about all the time it took to completely screw up this site.

 

I will never be able to comment back on folks, and I have always prided myself on returning comments.

 

So, you really want just robo=bloggers here?  Well, you have made it nigh on impossible for regular folks to want to stay.  I know that there are groups on Facebook of really active ActiveRainers. 

 

And, I guess  you want to force us all over there.  Is that correct? 

 

I would end this with my usual “Best, Ron” , but I really can’t do that in good conscience.

 

Is anyone over there listening to the bloggers here?  Or has Zillow just given the ax to the Rain?

Debbie Gartner  The less said about the fixes, the better.  I am still very unhappy with the way this turned out.

Sharon Tara I am so sorry that they have screwed your home page up, too.  I really, really  hate this.  But, I will muck along ....for a while.

Bob "RealMan" Timm Yep.  It is a nightmare now. But, I guess there is no relief in sight.  Sorry.  Altyhough I didn't create this problem.

Kerrie La Guardia  I'm receiving the comment notifications, but PLEASE tell me we are going to be able to start deleting them soon.  This is a real pain.  I depended on MY home page to keep track of things and deleting the things I was done with was a huge part of it.

Sharon Tara by the end of the month but please don't quote me on that as it's not in stone. I know how important it is and am voicing that in meetings so I hope it is March!

Kerrie La Guardia  Thank you!  It is called "MY" home page and it certainly doesn't feel like it right now.  Having everything pile up is quite annoying and making my time spent here far less efficient.  I'm happy to hear there is hope of getting some control again.

Well, it would be nice to see some control over our own homepage again.  Keep pounding on this, Kerrie.

Joan Whitebook and Kerrie La Guardia I think that the masses have spoken.  And most people don not care for the new "updates".

Ron - It just seems par for the course that any changes to AR always come with glitches. It's too bad they can't foresee these issues before it actually goes live, and then all these glitches stir the AR pot. Hopefully everything will get fixed that needs fixing and we can all move forward.

This is just crazy.  And, I have been here for almost eight years.  This is the worst thing they have ever done, Ron.

Sometimes it feels like this is a test bed for some people going through programming school.

And we're the rats in the maze.  Some days I find the cheese, so I'm good with that.  Other days, I don't find it so easy.

Zillow has never listened to agents concerning our listings and their zestimates and other harmful things they post about out listings... they wont listen to the sellers either... have you ever tried to get them to change their ridiculous zestimates that HARM our sellers and are so wrong?  it is impossible.

hard to think Zillow will listen to us here either...
