  1. Please forward me the original contact form email we sent you that has his username on. Also - for everyone - remember to check this section about buyers and seller scams and how to avoid them. We link these from the Classifieds main page as well.
  2. Heya all, I often get requests from advertisers about where/how they can have a banner designed or created for them. I'd like to help them - and maybe pass an opportunity to make a few bucks to some of you - by setting up a page with a list of names, examples and cost that people would charge for creating a banner ad. In future I'd point advertisers there and they can pick their own poison. So, if you're a graphics designer or think you know your way around a graphics app well enough to sell (or give away if you want!) the results then here's what you need to PM me: 1) Your name, dropzone.com username and company name (if you have one) 2) Example of and animated and a static banner - standard 468x60 size (no Flash, just JPG and GIF) 3) Cost to create an animated or static banner 4) Delivery Time 5) Contact email 6) Link to your web page/showcase for more info (if you have one) Fire away. Remember - advertisers often have much larger marketing needs than just a banner (magazine ads, off-line campaigns) and this may be a good way to get a foot in the door. Thanks! Safe swoops Sangiro
  3. I'm surprised Kolla isn't all over this thread... Safe swoops Sangiro
  4. Bad shot? Safe swoops Sangiro
  5. Will look into that. In the meantime, here's a little work-around. Go to: Edit Profile -> Display Settings and change "Message max hits" to.... well in your case 7000! That will show all 7000 your messages on one page. Click the "Select All" checkbox right at the top and sit back while we trash all your blah-blah. PS - I suggest you do smaller chunks than 7000, but you can certainly make the per-page-list much larger than 20. Safe swoops Sangiro
  6. Nope, unfortunately not. Depends on what you were writing... Safe swoops Sangiro
  7. I did receive and approve your claim though. You should be able to update that listing now. Safe swoops Sangiro
  8. Ok... I can't reproduce this one so I'll need a bit more info about your browsers and platforms. Here's a pic of my Inbox and all seems to be fine. I use folders extensively as well and it works in there too. Safe swoops Sangiro
  9. Hold down the CTRL key and roll that little wheel on your mouse up or down.... If you did that accidentally you would have changed the font size on your browser.

  11. Heya all, We pride ourselves in the fact the Dropzone.com Classifieds has grown into the largest marketplace for used skydiving gear in the world. Part of what has made it so successful is that it's free and open to everyone. Unfortunately these same characteristics makes it a target for scammers on the buying and selling side. I've implemented a few new features to help fight scams: 1) Security and Scam Alert Forum Check this often. We will post details about scams as soon as we learn about them. The lastest posts to this forum will be displayed on the Classifieds main page. 2) Time since Registration Alerts In the future you will see an "Alert" message if someone registered on the same day they posted their ad. A "Caution" message will be displayed if the user has been registered for less than a week. 3) Report a Scam Link We've added a "Report a Scam" link to the top right corner of every ad. Click on that if you suspect an ad is a scam. You'll be presented with a quick form to report the ad to us directly. 4) More Education Please read this section to educate yourself about typical buyer and seller scams. They're pretty easy to spot and the responsibility to protect yourself remains your own. We'll continue to add security and scam related info here. Hope this helps. Safe swoops Sangiro
  12. Here's why it can not be your Dropzone.com address: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1198805#1198805 I'll look into where notifications go. Safe swoops Sangiro
  13. Say whatever you want, don't post an ad though. Oh yes, and please don't SHOUT... Safe swoops Sangiro
  14. Gus, No review submitted under this username. If it did make it through onto the page, send me a link (or better, the Review ID) and I'll look into it. Safe swoops Sangiro
  15. The following scam have been reported: Click here to read more about these kind of scams. Remember: DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer". Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is.This username has been disabled. Safe swoops Sangiro
