Issue with Boattrader.com

[Magicfloat]

A computer dummy (me),is having a problem.As some of you know,my website www.nelems.com just links to my boats that I have listed on boattrader.com. It has worked well for years and serves my purpose well. But this week the did some neat upgrades where you can sort my boats by brand,or year,or price. Only problem is my friends that use Vista cannot sort that way,but worse for me,they cannot call up page 2 of my boats. With Windows XP is works fine.BT claims it's not their problem,it's a problem with my hyperlink to BT and it needs upgrading.But they cannot explain why it works fine except with Vista. My desktop is XP and it works fine,my laptop is Vista and it won't call up page 2,or sort.WTF? Can some of you out there try my site and see if you can call up page 2,and sort by catagory? Isn't this BT's problem and not mine?

Magic......I too am an idiot....I have XP Pro and I can't get the first page to change. To sort I change the box and click, I get the Hourglass and then a new page, same as the old page. I'm afraid I haven't helped much......still LOVING my 41PC BTW.....

Tried it on two laptops one XP pro and another Vista.As you stated XP works fine but with Vista you can not bring up second page

Makes no sense at all. What exactly do they mean when they say I need to update the hyperlink?

Ditto on the Vista thing- can't get to 2nd page.

I went to a few other dealers pages and do not have the same problem- just your page.

When I went to BT, searched dealers and then went to your page- no issues; only issues from your link.


You link goes to:

http://www.boattrader.com/dealers/Nelems-Marine/736250?type=all

The good link is:

http://www.boattrader.com/dealers/Nelems-Marine/736250

Take the "?type=all" off your hyperlink. Hyperlink is when I click on nelems.com the address it forwards me to

Edit- "bad" link is too long to show on this page and adds periods in the link- click on the 2 and you will see the difference- one has "?type=all" and the other (good one) doesn't

I am restoring my iPhone- not sure how long it will take but will call you when it's done to help if I can Robert.

The power of SOS.My buddy MM is going to try to fix this problem for me. Thanks in advance MM

 

[MarylandMark]

It's working now!

I noticed the URL (bar at the top with the web address in it) stays on "nelems.com" vs going to "boattrader.com"

Could be a benefit- able to monitor how many visits you get, if someone saves your site it will be your address vs boat traders, etc.

Nothing to worry about- just an observation. It would only be an issue if they were charging you for bandwidth because the boat trader frame is flowing through your site.

MarylandMark is my new hero and my new webmaster (the pay is not real good) He cut thru all the red tape and got my website back up to speed. Thank you my friend,I did not know who to turn to when BoatTrader fluffed me off,so I turned to SOS and MM came thru for me.

 

[MarylandMark]

Good talking to you Robert and glad to help buddy!

Now, just hope he doesn't delete your web site and all postings. :26:

LOL- I was thinking of creating my own price cut so I could get in that 330SS he has...

Found a flaw- can't cut and paste a link to a specific boat. I'll be on it after breakfast.

Fixed- server takes about an hour to process updates. Example of the issue would be: Click here vs Click here

One takes you to a specific boat vs the other takes you to all your inventory. How it was setup before you couldn't link a specific boat; only all your inventory. Now you can link a specific boat OR the your entire inventory.
