Hi... I haven't actually posted anything on these forums for a while, as the title mentions. I just logged on to see if LL had actually brought the MP up to scratch, as it had quite a few problems when I last checked it out. IIRC some of the issues the marketplace had last time I was on was: very innaccurate non-relevant search, missing payments, broken / corrupted listings, poor payment implementation, products not getting delivered, really really bad (and expensive) featured listings system, poor usability and a variety of other little niggles and problems... Sad to see that even after being away for one and a half years the majority of these problems still exist... And I'm not just complianing for complaints sake either: I'm a web developer by trade and I find it absolutely astounding that the MP is still in this state. It's not like Linden Labs doesn't make a profit and can't hire a team of devlopers to fix everything that's wrong with the system. Hell, they could have rebuilt the entire marketplace, bespoke, from scratch in the time I've been away - launched it and have done with the problems altogether. Why they didn't stick to PHP and decided to base it on "Spree" an open source ecommerce system based on rails, when they already had a working system to start with (XStreet) or base it on, is totally beyond me. It's a bit like having a 90's honda accord - not cutting edge tech, but it looks okay, goes well and it reliably does the job - and then deciding to trade in it for a ferrari, but instead building it yourself using a Hyundai Sonata chassis as the base, and then totally borking the bodywork whilst continually adding "features" to it that don't really work.
