Achieve longer and harder classifieds without patches or pills

Filed under: , , , , , ,

Jesse Linden believes that the issue that plagued the previous attempt to auto-extend classifieds (as recompense for all the problems with the classifieds system since the update) has been found and fixed, and sometime after midnight SLT, we should know whether or not it worked.

This only extends classifieds which were listed last night (December 11, 2006) by one week. It's expected that many people who did place classifieds that ran during the affected week that were one-shot classifieds, or that were no longer running last night may feel that they were unfairly treated.


On one hand, it's understandable that trying to backtrack to the affected period and provide some sort of fair recompense for each and every classified-placer that would have been affected is an expensive and infeasible task, on the other hand it's also to be expected that some of the classifieds that get extended as a part of this (assuming it works as it is intended) will not be ones that were affected by the service outage. Now we're into damned if you do, and damned if you don't territory. Cross your fingers for midnight, and we'll see if anyone's classifieds gain the anticipated inches.
