 Description  « Hide
I wonder now after i use the 1.18.5, why nobody tp to my shop. And yesterday was really less sales. Maybe it was an unlucky day only.
But the Classifieds show all time 0 teleported. If i ask somebody to tp, it shows 1. But it always resets to 0 again. If i login with an older version, it shows a different number. When i login with the newest RC it shows again 0 or 1. So I don't know if this has something to do with the new search and with my less sales that two days too, but something needs sure to be fixed, because it's an important part of the classifieds. If you use them you want to see what the success of your advertisement and of your changes are.

I find it ridiculous that this must be voted on. But it has my vote. How are we to measure the effectiveness of classifieds?

Prokofy Neva - 15/Nov/07 09:22 PM
Yes, I've confirmed this, too, with 20 different ads watched over 2 days, none of which are showing any teleports, although prior to the installation of 1.8.5 they all had teleports or map views.

This zeroing out of the metris on the classifieds is happening spontaneously, and is not related to the problem of UPDATE and SAVE CHANGES flagged in past bugs. No changes to the menu or actions on the menu are taken, yet they are zeroing out and staying at zero.

Prokofy Neva - 15/Nov/07 09:24 PM
And yes, I find it absolutely ridiculous that grown men and women who pay for their classifieds in real money that is part of the Lindens' revenue have to come and "vote" for this sort of issue as if it were a popularity contest, fighting their way past odd, wonky issues like occlusion or something. Worse, they risk having their issue closed or moved into obscurity by a fanboy coder who doesn't find the economy interesting.

When something is broken that we pay for, it should be fixed without all this clap-trap.

Aric, making a classified with 1.18.5 RC and then teleporting to it myself correctly increments teleport counter from 0, 1, 2, 3. This persists across sessions.

Could you investigate a mix of 1.18.5 RC and 1.18.4 for both clicks and reporting?

aric linden - 16/Nov/07 10:54 AM
Milo, can you repro this when you have a moment?

Aargle Zymurgy - 20/Nov/07 06:17 AM
I've gone back and forth between 1.18.5 and 1.18.4 and the older version continues to show correct traffic on the classified ads. Right now, I've got 3 ads, one of which shows 2 teleports (it was 1 when I arrived), one shows 1 teleport, and otherwise, everything else is zero.

Relogging with 1.18.4 shows, per ad: 59 teleport, 4 map, 0 profile; 141 teleport, 6 map, 1 profile; 18 teleport, 1 map, 0 profile.

The stats are there, just not being shown in 1.18.5(1)

This issue has been fixed and will go out with the next revision of the RC

I've changed all fixed internally issues to Resolved: Fix pending.

I am in the midst of trying to track the effectiveness of my classifieds. Sadly, the number are innaccurate compared to the name I have listed. Also, ever since the NEW search has been put in place, my numbers of visitors havebeen way off!!!!!!!! WHY am I paying to advertise in a Classifieds section that seems as useful as a chocolate fireguard? Hmmm....time to re-examine...yet again!!!!!!

Keiki Lemieux - 22/Feb/08 07:57 PM
This is definitely broken. I have an add that normally gets 200-300 teleports a week. This week it's showing 15 teleports for a 50,000L add. It's still broken.

Tegg Bode - 25/Feb/08 09:32 PM
So dumb question, where are the show incoming TP, Map & Profile buttons?
I guess it wouldn't actually effect sales too much since people are still getting in ok, just not being counted?

Keiki Lemieux - 25/Feb/08 09:42 PM
Look under your profile and you will see those three items listed at the bottom of the classified.

What I suspect is happening is that when someone teleports to your classified add from the All Search, it is not tallied. However, when they teleport from the old Classified tab, it is. Why is this bad? It's bad for us, because we can't accurately tell how well a classified is doing. It's very bad for LL, because if the number of teleports is severely undercounted, then people will pay less for ads and place fewer ads.

Leah Salome - 26/Feb/08 10:25 AM
I wondered why this week I had 16 teleports, when I checked and I normally have about 400. Yet sales are really good.

StarSong Bright - 27/Feb/08 12:13 AM
I appear to be seeing teleports for my add now BUT I notice I am no longer coming up in the list in the order that i used to. In fact as i click through all my carefully chosen keywords i do not see my add at all. WTH?! If i look in the classified add my listing is fourth or fifth- but in the all tab it is not there. WHY?!?!?!?!?! Are my lindens wasted now? What's the point of paying more for a higher listing if my ad isn't going to show????

 In fixing one thing something else appears to have been broken!!!!!

This issue may have been assigned and classed as major but it appears to be being ignored. Milo Linden - as the person this has been assigned to this, can you tell us if anything is actually happening with this issue? We pay good money for these classified adverts, even in the current climate where we are paying for time where no one can use the ad's due to the many errors in world. I don't think its that unfair to ask for this to be fixed as its been going on for a ridiculously long time now. Can we please have an idea of some kind of time period to fix this issue.
