AW taking the p**s

**davthp** · 05-10-06

When I try to log in I get a notice that I MUST read a message from a merchant. Not only that I have to type in I CONFIRM to signify that I have read it.

How do I stop this rubbish so that I can get round it?

Very annoying!!!

It's a massage actually. I think AWin have lost the plot here. I guess that merchants can set the priority and force us to read their message. The first one to appear is from Flying Flowers and in my opinion is not an "important" massage, just introducing a campaign. I can see the idea has it's uses, in the way that CJ ask partners to agree to terms, but merchants are abusing this new messaging, sorry massaging, feature straight away.

Bad idea Awin. Did they run it past affiliates first??

Does anyone know how to drop Flying Flowers as a merchant for good. I have unsubscribed from the mailing list - should this stop these so called urgent messages. I can then unsubscribe from ALL merchants.

The urgent message has gone now - I think someone at awin has got the massage. You can leave any partner by going into the affiliate administration area for each partner, and clicking the grey "leave" button.

The message has gone. Great.

The message centre is a good idea but let us decide what info we regard as urgent. Also why is there a message dated 14/11/2006 in there - is this a prerelease?

oooh so many quips come to mind!

I didn't get any urgent messages but found the new system quite useful But I know it if was that intrusive as it was for me I would have reacted the same.

Having just signed up to them I have not realy pushed them as we promote Bunches and Flowers Direct. We have also dropped them as a merchant so won't be able to tell you.
