• Removing current marketplace forms processor and templates. Adverts will have to be manually added using the existing format while i get the new forms processor in place. Hopefull this will fix all the issues i have been having getting the setup to work as it should.
• Installing new forms processor and starting to implement the templates. sadly the old forms processor needed to be removed prior to installing the new setup as they are incompatible it seems. This could take several days.

• new forms processor for the markets is installed. It may well need some tweaking but appears to be working fine for now and has fixed many other issues it would appear. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH TAPATALK or THE AULRO APPS! I can find nothing that does. To post an advert correctly you will need to use a web browser on your phone or tablet. Updated info will be placed in the marketplace areas as i get time.
• Search engine optimisation has also been updated and should improve results from external search engines.

• A reminder this isnt facebook, never has been never will be and certainly doesnt run under facebooks terms and conditions. AULRO.com's terms and conditions are available via the link at the bottom of every page. You agree to abide by them when you sign up for an account here. Saying you didn't bother to read them doesnt alter the fact that you have agreed to them and must abide by them.
• Once again i take the oppotunity to remind people that when you sign up for an autorenewing subscription you are assigning PayPal permission to forward money to AULRO.com on your behalf when it is renewl time. I don't take it, paypal sends it to me on your behalf. If you need want or require to terminate that auto renewing subscription you need to do it in your paypal account under recurring subscriptions. As has always been the case, I cannot and will not take any responsibility for their or your actions with regards to auto renewing subscriptions, this is clearly laid out in the terms and conditions of access. Thank you for your support.

YOU MUST USE A COMPUTER BASED WEB BROWSER TO POST IN ANY OF THE MARKETPLACE FORUM AREAS

BROWSERS / APPS ON TABLETS AND PHONES ARE NOT SUPPORTED AS I CAN FIND NO SOFTWARE THAT RELIABLY ALLOWS THEM TO INTERACT IN THIS AREA OF THE FORUM.

thank you

As of the 25th May 2018 the world as we know it will change. The European Union is implementing changes that affect how personal data is handled when someone from a country within the European Union accesses an electronically based system such as social media and forums etc.

It has many good points it has to be said, but sadly, there are many onerous repercussions for forums in particular, that could make many of them inoperable and i know many that have a very high content of European users are seriously thinking of shutting down permanently because of the onerous conditions being imposed on them, that will have little to no affect on other forms of social media eg Facebook, but will devastate forums.

AULRO.com unlike many other systems, DOES NOT IN ANY WAY ONSELL OR EXPORT YOUR DATA TO ANY THIRD PARTY

AULRO.com does employ external AD serving companies to generate income to keep this system online. They are listed in the Privacy Guidelines available via the Terms of Service link at the very bottom of each page.

AULRO.com is doing everything that it can to comply with the GDPR at this time. BUT be advised, if need be, this system will become unavailable to those residing in any European Union member country if the task becomes too onerous, or until i can get it compliant at some time in the future. I will not allow the system to be compromised because of the GDPR.

For the record

AULRO.com is fully Australian Owned and Operated, is operated from only Australian based hosting, none of the technology employed is based in the European Union and none of the staff are based in the European Union to the best of my knowledge.

Australian laws govern its operation and it is fully compliant with all those Australian laws.

to do so AULRO.com keeps a record of certain information for it's own internal use

your email address
date of birth you submit
the location you submit
your ip address when you register and when you access the system
times and dates you access the system
and of course what you post

All data is backed up daily and the backup is deleted after a week

AULRO.com does not hold your real name or other personally identifying information

Thank you for your time

• Tapatalk plugin updated to suit GDPR

if the DDOS issues continue for much longer i will begin utilizing cloudflare to help mitigate the issues.

yes i know some people don't like cloudflare, but it is a means to an end...

• both servers had security patches and software updates applied @ 23:00. all appears to be well after being rebooted

• About to turn cloudflare back on to test if the changes to the configuration help overcome the issues we were having with it turned on before.
