Mueller's Trump Questions Leaked!Posted By Greg Shaffer |

Mueller's former assistant says grammatical errors prove leaked questions came from Trump
Michael Zeldin, a CNN legal analyst and former assistant to Robert Mueller, said Tuesday he believes President Trump leaked the list of nearly 50 questions the special counsel allegedly wants to ask Trump.
“I think these are notes taken by the recipients of a conversation with Mueller’s office where he outlined broad topics and these guys wrote down questions that they thought these topics may raise,” Zeldin said on CNN's "New Day."
“Because of the way these questions are written ... lawyers wouldn’t write questions this way, in my estimation. Some of the grammar is not even proper," he continued. "So, I don’t see this as a list of written questions that Mueller’s office gave to the president. I think these are more notes that the White House has taken and then they have expanded upon the conversation to write out these as questions.”
Lemme think....a "former" assistant who isn't likely to have any special knowledge says grammatical errors are proof of who leaked it....in fact if I take what you said literally Trump actually leaked it himself...(or is that a communication error on your part? LOL) Its a good thing that supposition and innuendo is not acceptable proof in a court....otherwise we would have to house 100 times as many folks in prison.

How to search by ad number?Posted By Greg Shaffer |

Is there a way for me to find ads by the ad mumber?
Click on "Search Classifieds", type in the ad # in the search field and hit the search button.....in that respect nothing has changed.

Nothing works.
If the seller has deleted the ad it wont be found...... I have tested it 3 different times with an ad from 2009, another from 2011 and one that is still active. In each case it worked fine. Both of the ad numbers you mentioned came up with "not found" which would indicate they no longer exist.
That's not to say there cant be any errors but have you perhaps looked at your feedback record to verify the ad still exists? If you know when you bought the scope it should be easy enough to find in your feedback record based on the date (assuming one of both of you left feedback).....once you find it then try to view the ad, if you cant then the seller likely deleted the ad which is not uncommon.
Update: Ahhh I just noticed one of the programmers responded with the real info.....my testing was with ads that exist in the database as it is now.....after the import. Seems to me ad numbers should have been retained on the import instead of just assigning new numbers but I guess it is what it is now......

Add replies not workingPosted By Greg Shaffer |

Also if you reply to an add, for some reason I cannot respond to that individual again if I have an other question. Is this going to get fixed?
I cant speak to the 1st part about unable to send message.....have not seen that issue.
However I know exactly whats happening with the 2nd issue. When you respond to an ad it sets the ratings flag....which you can find under "unused ratings". As long as it exists you cannot reply again. However the seller is supposed to receive the email notice and it is assumed he will respond to you directly via email thus allowing you and he to discuss the rest of the transaction outside of AM.
There is a way to get around this.....go to your "unused ratings" list and delete the rating flag for that transaction. You will then be able to respond to the ad again. Which will again set the rating system back in motion.

Last read pointersPosted By Greg Shaffer |
It would appear that over night all the last read pointers in the forums were reset as ALL unread.....This appears to have happened at least 3 times since the new software went online.
Sure would be nice if you got that global pointer option to mark all forums as read implemented

I would like to answer the member's question, but I cannot because the Inbox says that I don't have any messages.
Am I doing something wrong? Please help me out with this.
Thanks,

PM's on the site have nothing to do with ads whatsoever...... if someone responds to an ad you should receive an email to the email address you registered with. If you just joined you should be receiving email notices of new ads posted (assuming you have any categories chosen to receive them for on your settings page). There has been some intermittent issues with blank notices being sent out since the new site went online. Its been a while since I have received any but I have seen several folks mention they still get some blank notices though.
I am going to guess that's what you got instead of a blank response to your ad.....any notices of responses to your ad should come in as if it is from the person inquiring so that you can respond directly to them unrelated to the site.

Please forget me if I ask, what is the main reason why the fee is being implemented? Are transactions being monitored by experienced personal coordinators? What is the message box that is on the website for? The Main reason why I would like to start and finish a transaction here in Astromart is because it would be safer for both Buyer or Seller is that right? Presumably our identity had been checked prior to join the site so it will be safe to do transactions here. Please let me know, I will appreciate it. Thank you Regards. Joel S.
1. What kind of messages are you talking about? You have only placed a single wanted ad 2 days ago so odds are good no one has responded as yet. This is your 1st forum post as well.
2. There are no guarantees that you wont get ripped off, however the fact that real names are used along with registration and the associated fee insures you are likely dealing with someone who can be found in case of a problem thus removing the temptation fostered by anonymity found elsewhere.
3. The "message box" you refer to is I assume the private messages option where you can have conversations with out them being public same as every forum/trading site I have seen.

I dunno guys.....when I click on the Classifieds category as you can see below I am presented with the Astro-Not categories. One of the programmers should be along tomorrow to look into this.
