Vivastreet? A bit weird

[Stickitin]

A lot less ads this week when searching the east mids cities, maybe only 20% of what there normally is. Anything weird going on that anyone knows?

I was going to post about this myself, it's very odd. I wonder if they've had a cull of old ads, or introduced stricter requirements for posting or something?

But I'm just speculating, I've no idea what the cause is, and I'd love to know too. It's not the greatest place for finding SPs, but it's nice that there's at least some alternative to AW out there, so I'd hate to think it was about to become less useful.

ahhh glad it's not me... my derby search was about 5 sp's... never a place o usually use, but always good to see the options...

they've fucked up the database again, same thing happened a few weeks ago.
The profiles all seem to be there, but their indexing pointers seem to have got confused so they don't show up in searches

Last time took over a day to fix

anyone know a work round to this glitch, I was looking for a little black girl I spotted the other day on the Sheffield page but I can't track her VS ad down today & I wanted to try & book

just have to wait until they sort it then

[scutty brown]

Well.......they're aware
Won't commit to when it'll be fixed so just wait

No, it's just a technical fuckup, just like last month.
The numbers are slowly coming back, something like 50% there now, and increasing

for a little while I had some hope that VS had hired somebody with a bit of competency and they were starting to sort out the site but alas

Glad this is coming back up.

Also, and while I have your attention, is it possible to list all SPs in a postcode? E.g., N13 brings up some 4-5 subareas, and I'd rather just search for everything in the basic postcode

Thanks for the info Scutty, that's good to know. I'm not bothered if it's down for a day or two, just relieved to hear it's not the start of a permanent decline!

14,100 records visible now for the UK, 290 for Lancs
that must be very near complete

only 27 massage records for Lancs, so still a few missing there

Thanks for explaining - I was wondering what had happened!
