Internet dating can be great fun if you're careful

Most people who use Internet dating sites are good honest people, but you also get some dishonest people who will try to scam you out of money or just waste your time for fun. Here’s a list of ways to spot them.

It's been quite stressful upgrading the server. The "Send Message" page had some problems after the upgrade and I had trouble figuring out what the problem was. In the end it turned out to be the server wasn't configured correctly. I'll be writing down what I've done now for future upgrades. I'm not a networking admin and I'm learning this all on the go. :-)
If you notice any problems, please let me know!
Thanks again for helping OzAdz grow. This website is growing thanks to you (the user

Thanks to everyone spreading the word, OzAdz is regularly receiving more than 2000 visits every day. Yesterday OzAdz had 2228 visits. To cope with the new increased traffic, I will be upgrading the server this week and the website may experience some down time.

Which moderation system would you prefer to see on OzAdz?
A) Moderated by a few selected moderators.

I hope everyone is enjoying themselves.
This year has been a good year for OzAdz.com and hopefully next year will be even better. Last year November 2009 had 3,500 visits. This year November 2010 had 42,000 visits which is a huge increase.
Without people spreading the word and telling their friends about OzAdz.com, this increase could not have been achieved. There is no team behind this website, I’m just one guy who was fed up of being ripped off by big corporate organisations and decid

I increased the Reply counter from 20 to 40. It's just a minor increase as I thought 20 was a bit of a low limit. Any feed back will be appreciated in the

I noticed quite a few people were making mistakes when typing in their email address to post new adz. I assume people were also making mistakes when replying to users on the website too. To help eliminate this problem, I added an email confirmation textbox.
If both emails typed into the system don't match, an error occurs and the user is told they must have made a mistake when entering their email address.
