Dues Invoices – Electronic vs. Paper

The Columbus REALTORS® Board of Directors recently voted to email the 1st through 3rd dues invoice notices, since only about 7 percent of members pay during the first 30 days. The 4th notice to go out in late January will be a hard-copy mailing. Your first invoice was emailed November 4th, so please check your spam and junk folders if you did not receive a dues email. Any questions please call the Accounting/Membership Dept. at 614-475-4000. Thank you for your help in this process.

Do You Want to Be on the MLS Committee?

Ever think about serving on the MLS Committee?    The MLS Committee is an elected committee with a limited number of seats determined by a weighted formula based on the number of MLS agents, offices, listings, and solds.   The number of seats available can change each year based on this formula or elected members whose term ends.  Go to this page and scroll to the bottom for more detailed information on this process.

Follow these steps to throw your hat in the ring:

  1. Obtain permission from your broker to be considered for the ballot.
  2. Submit a brief bio or resume (including photo) by October 31, 2014 at 5:00pm to the MLS at Columbus Realtors®

Your bio and resume will be presented to the MLS Nominating Committee who are selected at the Annual Business Meeting.   The five selected Realtors® that serve on the Nominating Committee meet in November to select candidates.  A ballot is created for the December election where only brokers vote.   Members who wish to volunteer their time to serve are very much in demand by the Nominating Committee and always appreciated.

If you still have questions, please review the election information on the main Columbus Realtors® site,  E-mail Bryan Dean, MLS Director, or call (614) 475-4000.

FBS Security Updates and older web browsers – October 15, 2014

On October 14, 2014, at approximately 8pm CDT, the FBS Hosting team reacted to a vulnerability/exploit (CVE-2014-3566) that was disclosed to the public about an hour earlier. The action taken, on our vendor’s part, was to completely disable SSLv3 on the servers responsible for serving all Flexmls traffic.

What this may mean for you is that your browser you are using to access Flexmls is out of date or is using non-standard settings, you will likely have an issue even bringing up the Flexmls system. You do have several options to help assist with access to the system:

Make sure the browser that’s being used is as up-to-date as possible for the OS that is being used.

  • All versions of Chrome and Firefox, as well as Safari support at least TLSv1.0 by default.
  • IE versions 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 on Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 also support at least TLSv1.0 by default.
    • Internet Explorer 6,7 or 8 on Windows XP is not supported as of April 7, 2014. You must be using either Google Chrome or Firefox as your browser on Windows XP.

It is still recommended that users upgrade to the latest possible version of whichever browser they’re using (if possible).

If the user is running one of these browsers and still having an issue, it may be the case that they have disabled TLS support in their browser.

  • There is no legitimate reason for this, so the recommended action would be to re-enable at least one version, preferably the most recent one possible, which would be the most secure. As there are many variations on the steps depending on which browser is being used, please contact your browsers reference material for help.
  • If all of the TLS versions are disabled, it should only be necessary to re-enable the most recent version (eg: TLSv1.2 if it’s available, otherwise TLSv1.1 if it’s available, otherwise TLSv1.0). If none of these are available to enable, then the browser should be updated to a more recent version (if possible)

For most home users, the answer is to look to make sure you are up to date with both your browser’s version or the appropriate Windows or Mac OS updates. The following links can help:

For assistance with Windows Updates, you can use the following link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update
For assistance with Mac OS updates, you can use the following link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1338

Once you have updated fully for either Windows or Mac OS updates, if you are still having a problem with your browser of choice, your next course of action would be to try a different browser. Flexmls supports recent versions of Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox on Windows systems and Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari on Mac OS.

If you are on a computer that is in an office or corporate environment, it is possible your computer may have certain settings or software requirements established by your company’s IT team for the protection of their internal network or provided hardware. You would want to consult your IT team for further assistance regarding this situation. If your IT team has questions, please direct them to our technical support at techsupport@columbusrealtors.com or by phone at 614-475-4000 during regular business hours of Mon-Fri 8:30a – 5:00p.
