Tomorrow after my yard work, I will PM all the moderators on the different forums where I'm a member and inquire about linking the Autopia directory.

Man, I must be blind because I can't find out how to edit my listing or post any pics. There is no edit option on my listing. Can anyone help a guy out??

Did you login?

LangMan37 · 06-25-08, 06:51

Thanks David. No I didn't. But when i just tried it said my account is deactivated for some reason??

DavidB · 06-25-08, 06:53

send me an email from the email address you used to sign up to david @ autopia.org and I will check it.

ok thanks David got it going. I did add 3 images which do show up but I was hoping to have an image in the listing instead of the "no image avaliable". How can I do this?

LangMan37 · 06-25-08, 07:14

man the heat must have gotten to me today, I can't seem to figure anything out.
Thanks for the help, I got it now.

LangMan37 · 06-25-08, 07:20

Yep, cool, up and running and already booked a job.
This is great David, thanks for all your effort.

David,

I've been messing around with the search criteria, and it does not work? is this coming online later?

When I try to search just using the state name nothing is found.

When I try to search just using the zip nothing is found.

When someone rates this ad, what is the criteria for Excellent, VG, G, fair, poor. I see some very good detailers with very poor ratings, are people just being vindictive or uninformed to the ratings?

I sure hope you drop all the lousy ads that don't have any images or extensive info. I hate looking through all the ads and seeing a MAJORITY with no intro image and lack detailied info (kind of ironic from DETAILERS).

Thanks for the efforts on your end to make this happen.

I am curious as well because mine has one rating of 1 star. I have a new business to the area with a new name and my only clients so far have been friends and word of mouth. It really gets me peeved that someone will 'rate' me while having no experience with my business. Is there anything that can be done about it?

I noticed the same problem, it only brings a result by exact zip code.

David, rather than parse results by city/state it may be much simpler by area code or zip (if $ZIPSEARCH=06084 return $ZIP=06***). Right? Maybe?

I agree somewhat- if you don't have the graphics at least put something up there. Prices, products used, experience- anything besides just a name/address to let customers know more about your business than who the check goes to.

I think the rating system is likely a little bit ineffective and should be removed because I don't think it could really add any value to the directory. Not a single client of mine is a member of Autopia, yet I have a rating of 1.5 stars? I think someone is being vindictive there.
