Thanks to our very observant members, they have helped us discover two very tricky and annoying bugs. Well that is one reason we are still in Beta. I am going to describe the bugs here. We are working on them and should have them fixed soon. Will update here and Twitter when fixed.
Expired listings still showing up as active. On certain partner listings, the Kashless.org system tries to keep the status of listings on our site in sync with the master listing on partner site. For the last four weeks or so, this process has been broken on a large number of listings. This has resulted in people trying to make offers on listings that are expired. This can be frustrating. We have identified the cause of the bug and are fixing it.
Messages not getting through. When you press “contact giver” on a listing, if the listing is from a Kashless member, the message is delivered immediately, if it from a partner site, we have to figure out the e-mail address to send it to and deliver it outside our system. For certain partner sites, this process has been broken for the last couple of weeks and we only recently noticed it. This meant that people were sending messages, getting no response and wondering what was going on. We are used to some people simply not responding, but not 100% non-response. Well, the mails were getting dropped. Our systems didn’t receive any error messages, so it was a hard problem to figure out. We have figured out the source of this bug and are also working on a fix. Sorry for the inconvenience, but any messages sent to partner listings over the last month, you should plan never got there. Messages to kashless listings were delivered fine. We will let you know when it is fixed.
