Ted,

When a "punter" first places an advertisement I get sent an email to notify me.

2 minutes later when the advertiser then looks at his/her advert and notices all the spelling mistakes and changes it, I get another email.

Another 2 minutes later when the advertiser then realises they forgot to mention the Leven hand brake (eg) they change the advert again, and I get another email.

Another 2 minutes passes and they realise the leven handbrake would fit on the new car so they dont want to sell it with the old one. Guess what...I get an email!

Its not a big problem but is annoying to find 4 notification emails in the morning, all for the same car!

Is it possible to delay the email notifications for about 10 minutes to allow people to sort their advert out first?
Or perhaps put a little note to advertisers asking them to get it right first time!

OR Perhaps everytime someone makes a spelling mistake a rubber mallet can pop out of the top of the monitor and bop them on the head!
(I'll be needing a hard hat! )

Ah... that's not supposed to happen. Unless the modification is made a week or so after the original ad then you shouldn't get another notification.

I'll look into it.
