    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    Yep, added the exception. Error message said that the site's certificate ran out on Feb 2and. I hope that they get it fixed soon because a lot of people won't come here when the warning comes up. They won't trust the site.

    I'm pretty sure this is a zombie site now. I'm just waiting for the day it doesn't work anymore.

    Seems like the same thing happened about 2 years ago and it got fixed. Things were a little different then.

    I'm staying optimistic but yall might want to gather any contact info while you can in case it all turns to s**t.

    Buyer/seller threads still get approved. Ppl still get banned. There is a very silent admin checking in at least from time to time

    You're right, it just takes longer for something to happen. I'm not complaining because I have no idea what it takes to keep the SMF up and running smoothly.

    It's still the best site out there.

    Still having the same issue.

    Since I posted this yesterday and opened a support ticket it has received 123 views. I may be wrong but imagine what might happen if at least half of you opened a ticket also.

    Would it help and maybe get someones attention?

    It sure as hell wouldn't hurt.

    I stopped receiving email notifications around the first of the year, when I get a private message...opened a ticket but didn't get a reply for over 2 weeks. Still having same issue but never got another reply.

    Cert issue came up as well.

    Yep, same here. I post replies to relative new posts but see no response. Send out PM's, but don't get responses either. No longer getting any update notifications to my gmail account. Lately been getting disenchanted because even in my attempts to find and reach out to other Florida members, most of what I can find are posts/replies that date back to 2011-2014. I can't speak for other NEW paid members, but this dude just isn't getting what I had hoped from this site thus far. I know........ I know...... "read through the old posts and the wealth of what you'll learn will be bountifull" - Ummm no, not really. List of State recycle yards is sad at best. Advice that any of you old-timers doled out a half decade ago, often just does not apply or specific to today's times. Certainly does appear that there may be some degree of site member participation for the N.E., Central, and Western U.S. I'm beginning to think that most Florida members have up and left the site. Okay lunch is ready - rant over.

    I will agree I would be up in arms if I had paid for a subscription recently...........Obviously mine goes back like 8 years and this site was booming with buyers/sellers/etc etc.......I easily made my money back just in the contacts I made here.......I hate to say it but you can read the archives without paying and at this point having a hard time endorsing this site as a paid membership thing anymore........Hope the issues get fixed as this is one of my regular hang outs on the web and is also valuable just to be able to check some pricing of diff items local yards may not buy.........GOOD LUCK TO ALL and I'll keep checking in from time to time

    Never give up. Keep updating those support tickets.

    I even reported my first post on this thread hoping they might see it.

    I'm sure they're working on it.
