Boats and Outboard adverts AGAIN

I am aware that over the years many forum users have had issues with Boats and Outboards - these people Buy and sell new and used boats at Boats and Outboards and not one of our forum members.

I have placed an ad with them for a RIB sale and have received confirmation e mails stating follow this link to view your ad- NOTHING- shows "Sorry, we can't find the advert you are looking for." I have even amended it and gained another link to my add and again the same response when I follow their link.

Firstly is usual? and what action can be taken to rectify this. Certainly as a customer service issue they have failed

Hi Ian, I've advertised before and although they send you a link straight away it can take a while for it to appear.

This is what I was sent in e mails and I have edited a line and got the same update email

"Success! Your advert is now live on BoatsandOutboards.co.uk"
View your advert live here >>

Still nothing. as others have added it may take a while- so why send link?

I have added the Ribtec 655 onto their site as the year starts, already shown on here in for sale section http://www.rib.net/forum/f21/ribtec-...ale-52693.html

Well it is now on their site but WITHOUT the submitted image and as I added the single image and saved it the whole system showed me in ABERDEEN ! and not Hampshire. AND i have just reviewed it and now showing the petrol engine as deisel. So back to edit again!!

I am sure they will blame the user (me) but hardly a simple process even to update .

Ian I'd be happy to stick it up on that site, Apollo duck and our website on a free brokerage basis, with any interest I receive being directed to you ?

We get good visibility on B/O, with featured ads. No charge for you, considering the help you gave on coding a while back

PM me if interested and thanks for the Ribnet member clarification keep thinking of changing my ID on here but never get around to it

Thank you Peter, pm sent.

Just an as update Boats and Outboards ad was placed eventually here Ribtec Other Ribs for sale , Ribtec 655 - Boats And Outboards AND they have just added the image I e mailed over tonight

BUT strangely I have recent e mails tonight stating they cannot find my ad or my email links despite emails to my account.

I have asked them to investigate tomorrow as I have made on line payments for ad and phots they say they did not get. I will keep you posted.
