A few weeks ago I began to see reminders on the top of the snipe list (you know, the advertising bit) where AS were asking people to clear old items.

A week ot two later AS changed the order in which old and pending snipes are displayed. The effective result is that the pending snipes are now buried down the page below the previous snipes.

I may just be being a cynic, but it seems to me that AS has a db capacity issue and is attempting to resolve this by changing the order of snipes to increase the incentive to remove old snipes.

Anybody got any other suggestions as to why this was done.

Whatever the reason I consider it a significant disimprovement - I liked seeing the pending snipes in soonest first order - with the completed ones further down the page.

I should add that I keep my old successful snipes on my snipes list as a reminder to pay and subsequnetly as a reminder that I am expecting the item to ship and need to leave feedback - after which I delete it - and I use group colour coding to support this tracking.

No, I don't have an 'Active' option.

I have :

Current | Ended | Won | Lost | Custom | Today | All

I presume you mean Current - I use All because I want to see past and pending at the same time - we're only talking about 10 - 20 items in total - But I would like to see the snipe that is due to go off soonest on the top where it used to be.

Sure I can switch views from current to see the pending snipes and ended to see the old ones - but there are so few that a single view does the job quite adequately - if only somebody hadn't changed the listing sequence.

Or is there something I'm missing - I made no change intentionally (and I attempted no changes so I don't believe that I made one unintentionally).

It's curious that Chatter doesn't seem to have seen a change - Are you definately saying that you used the 'ALL' view and that you have been doing so for a few months and have not seen a change in the way the snipes are listed in the 'ALL' view. And if this is the case can you confirm which order you are seeing - straight chronological (i.e my current order) or the active on top in chronological order and the ended ones lower also in chronological order (i.e the order I had and would like back)?

Is my sniper rating related to the number of post I have made here or to the number of snipes I have listed - and if it is snipes is it to successfull ones only or all snipes ?

Number of posts. Has absolutely no reflection of one’s sniping experience. The word “sniper” should be changed to “poster”, but Sara (AS support) thinks otherwise.

Mine says “Active”, but “Current” must be the same. Maybe it’s something to do with which country flag one is using?
Do you think she would mind if I posted a new topic for every snipe -

Such as :

- great - I won again.

- lost it, but no biggie.

- opps, should have gone a bit further.....

etc.

Then I can keep the ratings sensible.



..... on second thoughts perhaps she wouldn't like it one little bit ..... better not then !

But if you see a few slightly spurious posts from me (such as 'I agree', 'well said' etc) then you'll know what's going on.

That is correct. My "ALL" button shows exactly as it always has, i.e., the oldest snipes first, all the way down to the most recent, regardless of win/loss status. (This is many pages' worth, of course.) I just checked it moments ago. The active icon is there and is the default that I normally use. Smile
