Haven't got Win8? No problem, it works just the same on Win ME. Best experienced on a Packard Bell.

Dear Wheedle Member,

I made a decision yesterday morning to take Wheedle offline.

On Monday night our tech team made some tweaks and changes to the website to improve its performance and speed. These changes were deployed to the website without first passing through our normal test protocols. We quickly discovered that the changes were causing problems with the auction listing prices. There was also some concern raised around password security and retrieval. Please rest assured that your password has been, at all times, strongly encrypted and stored in our database. We are also exploring alternative ways to further increase password security.

In light of these events, we are undertaking a complete review of the website including engaging an independent firm to carry out a full a check of the security of the website.

We experienced a very positive interest in Wheedle and we had an astounding member uptake. We will be back soon, better, stronger and safer.

I apologise for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your support.

If you have any concerns or questions, you can reach me by email: xxxxxx @ wheedle.co.nz

Seems like some very carefully worded PR speak.

1304541 2012-10-03 09:03:00 Well, if they could make sales like this one (www.ebay.co.uk), they would be famous really quick. ;) R2x1 (4628)
