[QUOTE=Goyave;1140381]With all due respect, I am not sure about the efficiency of the reporting button nowadays. Since the latest software upgrade, I too have reported several obvious infractions and it seems that most of them were simply ignored. Actually, it seems that those that had not been ignored were dealt with only when Jackson had a look at the concerned threads, but it might have been totally unrelated (I mean that it was probably not because of the reporting), because it occurred many days after the posts were reported.[/QUOTE]Yes. It seems that the up-grade must be taking a lot of Jackson's attention away from most other things.

But I would have thought that this is a Bread-and-Butter issue for him as the Beijing thread is now reduced to non-participation by most of the trusted Seniors. Instead we've got all these shills craftily posting up their touts as reports, posting up phone numbers and/or their web sites,(I thought that such advertising details are totally verbotten - but these contact details are still up there even after I've reported them) replying themselves using other handles and even trashing other shills' offering. It's truly full of just plain ole crap now.

This is truly sad as the Beijing thread USED TO BE one of the most vibrant and TRUSTWORTHY threads on the China forums; to see it being reduced to just a site for these shills is truly a travesty.

SEAJ[/QUOTE]We're seeing something similar in the Singapore threads. There's a shill posting for his escort service (at least he's honest about what he's doing) , who is blatantly listing his e-mail address. I've reported a couple of them, and just today the e-mail addresses have been taken out. I know moderating is a real pain, but it's probably necessary in some of these forums.

But this is not good enough for these shills who are instead conducting their guerrilla marketing by pretending to be just "regular Members" posting up their supposed good experiences with their own business etc. They've practically taken over the whole of the Beijing thread with their tactics of using multiple handles to chat back and forth as if they ARE genuine punters.

There's so many of these guys / It's even become so ridiculous that one shill would actually knock another's offering whilst praising his own. And they're blatantly posting up Phone numbers, Web sites. And nothings being done to these posts.

Truly ridiculous situation to the point where most of us previous regular posters just stopped posting on the Beijing thread. Wonder how Jackson can tolerate this happening.

[b]Jackson[/b]: Now when the xxx top-level domain has been approved and is in operation I think you should register the domain [b]ISG. Xxx[/b], pointing at internationalsexguide. Info.

When travelling and using various computers in public internet cafes it's painstakingly to type in the loooong address [i]internationalsexguide. Info. [/i] Having a much shorter name would be handy.

(Of course I don't want the space and the Capital after the dot in the url's, buts it's the silly spellcheck of this version that adds it.)

Hi Jackson,

I didn't find how to activate the stealth mode banner free.

Can someone help me?

Thanks

SEAJ[/QUOTE]Not to' mention the guys in the KL (for the most) blatantly advertising some sort of vibrators and the good performances these give on their wifes.

Thanks[/QUOTE]Looks to me this option disappeared with the new software.

Quite boring as the "no banner" feature was part of the advantages for paying members, allowing browsing in a stealth way.

Hi,

Can you please advise onthe process of editing or deleting our own posts.

Mailed the admin but no response yet.

Thanks

Thanks Jackson. Nice new colors too! The page looks a lot better.

Hi Jackson,

When I bring up a photo in the International section, and hit an "x" from the upper right corner to get out of the photo, it forces me out of the Sex Guide all together. It should just close the photo and take me back to the Forum.

[QUOTE=The Cane;1175477]Speaking of editing posts, I think it would be nice if we could edit our posts at any time versus getting only one hour to do so. I often find typos, errors, etc. that I would like to correct days or even weeks later after I submitted the original post.[/QUOTE]I agree with The Cane, the short time allowed for editing our posts is an unreasonable restriction. Allowing the author of a post more time to edit his post would certainly improve the grammar and spelling of posts as well as improve the accuracy and readability of the forum.

Looks that recently the access to the Photo Gallery with IE is not complete: shows only a column of a doze photos, not the usual double column with the possibility to browse through the other pages.

Access with an I-pod is normal (shows all) and so is with Mozilla.

Must be then some bug between IE and trhe server.

Any chance to sort it out?

I can't check on other PC's for obvious reasons. Of not leaving ISG traces on it.

It seems since Friday I can only see page one of pictures and clicking on any page number only shows me page one!
