There is one more reason for you to upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 – we will stop supporting Internet Explorer 6 from March 1st, 2010.

Internet Explorer 6 was released in 2001, and the Web has changed a lot in many ways since then. We want you to have the best experience in everything, especially when you are using GoGoPin. And we believe that Internet Explorer 8 will surely get you that experience.

Compared to Internet Explorer 6, the latest release, that is Version 8, has improved a lot. In essence, Internet Explorer 8 gives you faster, easier, safer, and more private Web browsing experience. You can get more information about Internet Explorer 8 at here.

You can definitely try out other browsers as well. Mozilla Firefox is the second most popular browser in the world. If you are a fan of Apple products, you might want to try Safari 4. Finally, in a few months, we will officially support Google Chrome.

If you need more information about choosing a browser, feel free to contact us at support@gogopin.com.

Thanks.

Once you click on the link, you will see this page:

One thing you notice is that the URL in the address bar is not http://www.craigslist.org/. Well, they look real, but it is not! Don’t get fooled by the scammer and NEVER give up your credit card information.

There will be a scheduled maintenance from our hosting company on February 4, 2010 from 2AM to 6AM EST. During this time, you may experience some difficulties using all GoGoPin services however it won’t last long. It is expected that total service impact will not exceed a cumulative total of 5 minutes.

We are truely sorry for the possible inconvenience and late notice.

GoGoPin wishes everyone had a prosperous year and ready to start a great new year. We are truly grateful for all of your support and interest and hope GoGoPin continues to be your online partner in the new year.

Please continue to let us know what you would like to see in terms of GoGoPin and we will do our best to deliver.

Sincerely,

Right before you post your ad on Craigslist you get a chance to preview your ad. Craigslist chose to deliver this preview page using a HTTPS connection but your ad (one of the elements of the preview page) is actually delivered using a HTTP connection.

Because some of the elements of the page are delivered using HTTPS and some using HTTP, Internet Explorer tells you “This page contains both secure and non-secure items“.

But I think that it’s not fair to say that anything being delivered in a normal HTTP connection is non-secure. The ads you created with GoGoPin Ad, delivered to viewers using a normal HTTP connection, are just plain PNG/JPEG images, which are completely safe, causing no harm to users at all.

Anyway, in Internet Explorer 7 and earlier version, this dialog would cause annoyance to users but generally didn’t cause any other significant problems. This was because it was worded in such a way that most users would click on the “Yes” button and allow non-secure content to be downloaded.

However, the wording in the IE 8 version of this dialog has changed:

Read carefully. Now you would have to click the “No” button to see all the content properly. Some of our users clicked the “Yes” button, saw nothing in the Preview page, and complained that GoGoPin Ad is not working properly. Well, I have to say that the dialog tricked them.

You won’t see this sort of warning dialog in Firefox or Safari. But if you are using Internet Explorer, please pay little bit more attention to what the dialog actually says.

Now, it came to our attention that some of our users’ computers are infected with Malware which can cause trouble using GoGoPin and possibly other sites.

If you are seeing a screen like this, it doesn’t necessarilly mean the site you are trying to visit is harmful, but it DEFINITELY means you have a malware to uninstall from your computer.

So when you see this, make sure you scan your computer and remove those malwares.

For those of you who have problem scanning and removing malwares, we have found this instruction on this site: CLICK HERE. Even though we are not associated with this site at all, it seems their method works.

We just wanted to share this news so that our GoGoPin users have no problem using GoGoPin and other Web sites.

Have a great Thanksgiving weekend! =)

As we all know, it is one of the best shopping season as well. However we know what this can lead us to – a little too much shopping that can’t be refunded!

We really wish it doesnt happen but if it ever happens, make sure you create awesome ads with GoGoPin. We are certain that it will help you feel better.

Anyways, enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday with your friends and family!

In the post below (Enhancements) you can read more detail about choosing any URL to make your GoGoPin Ad clickable when posted in .HTML.

“Descriptions”, Much More Important!

Some unforeseeable and sudden adjustments to Craigslist had us typing in a flurry! The  necessary updates are already in place. Descriptions are now more important than ever. For best results, pack the description of your ad with as many important keywords as you can. The comma separated list of keywords no longer appears in the .HTML output, so make sure you incorporate keywords in the Description Field upon saving or exporting.

Other Formats

Comma separated keywords appear with handsome icons in other formats including:

• .PNG (Picture)
• .PDF (Printing)
• Post to Facebook
• Post to Twitter

So keywords from your description are still necessary in the event you should use one of the above formats in addition to .HTML output.
