Hello my lovelies. (This is going to be long so...)
Not long ago myself and another who run tattoo shops posted in here bringing to your attention that we had land plots and chose to "show parcel in find places" that refuse to list when searching under "all" and the word 'tattoo'...as you know, these parcels are brought up when one searches a word that is listed in your land title and/or description.
Correct? Correct.
There are a few tricks to be listed at the TOP when dealing with land parcels. Eg putting an asterix or an exclamation point before your store title. Doing this, regardless of how popular a search word is, WILL put you above the rest.
There seems to be parcels that list, and parcels that refuse to list. However, it is not that the parcel refuses to list period...its problem is only when one searches one of your keywords under the "ALL" tab. And its only with certain keywords. In our case, its with the word 'tattoo'
My story is I had a plot and my land listed fine, i was always at the top. not just by "cheating" but because my store begins with an "A".......When I moved plots (right next door to my initial plot), I unlisted my old plot and copied the land title and description word for word and listed the new plot.
Come to find out, my new plot was not showing up when i, or any one else, searched under "all"..Before contacting anyone i further investigated and ran searches for my other keywords and everything showed up fine. I contacted live help and spoke to a linden who was clueless, i contacted support and spoke to a linden who was clueless, and thus i ended up posting here and spoke to a linden who........ was clueless. Although she actually had an answer "The word tattoo is just too popular, thats why it isnt displaying, however there should be a next button and youd be on one of the next pages" (Not word for word but this is basically what she told myself, and the other who is having this same problem)
Well the sim owner thought it weird too and contacted conceirge, a very nice jack linden came over and played around with the land description and search options and said he was boggled but that maybe it did have something to do with how popular the word is but i was like "No it cant be because i just RE LISTED my old parcel and the listing is displaying!!!" He said it was probably because i had that old parcel listed awhile back an that was why but that he would bother the Q and A people about it. Of course i dont think they give a rip.
I told myself maybe he was right and just shrugged it off.
HOWEVERR I rented a NEW parcel yesterday. And guess what? Yep... I copy the land title and description from the parcel that refuses to list onto this new one and BINGO..ITS LISTED.
Is ANYONE going to investigate this. its very frustrating to see everyone and their momma up listed under ALL while a few of us just are not listed at all. youre welcome to use my parcels on the nauru sim and see.
Im kind of tired of it, im going to sound like a 1st grader and say it isn`t fair, because it really isnt. others are getting traffic WE should have a part of, and because OUR PARCEL IS FAULTY, and lindens keep saying "YOUR WORD IS JUST TOO POPULAR' and turning their backs- OUR PARCELS WILL NEVER BE LISTED. We shouldnt have to change parcels and leave a diseased one for someone else. this needs to be looked into. (and if it ISNT a parcel problem then what is it? why is it that my OLDEST, and NEWEST parcel list, but not my 2nd parcel?)
I have tested, and retested...using dif parcels on the nauru sim and its only my main parcel that just refuses to list when using the 'all' search, and it only refuses to list ONE word, my MAIN word.
Im tired of being told 'oh tattoo is just too popular you put your ad in too late" when i just got a NEW parcel YESTERDAY and the SECOND, i list it IT WORKS. If your statements on popularity WERE true then my NEWEST parcel should not have listed at all...as my other parcel would have been before it in queu to be listed!!
I was told that the person with the same problem was on and off with Torley about the issue. Which was good news but is anything being done? It just makes no sense whatsoever. and i can not use my newest plot that does list as it is small and just for extra prims(or i would!), and moving again really isnt an option.
is there anything we may want to try IF it is a parcel related problem? resetting sim doesnt work...what else is there to try?
