Flexmls Feedback Request It has been slightly over 100 days since we transitioned to the Flexmls system from Tempo/Fusion. Conversions are always filled with a few unexpected glitches and there is always some level of a learning curve. The MLS staff has taken over 7000 calls or emails over this time period and the staff at FBS (your MLS vendor) took almost 5000 while they were assisting. We know there are some remaining issues that need addressed. One of primary importance is the ability to have emails sent out on an ASAP (hourly) basis. This is coming in either late June or early July. The other commonly reported issues are with Days on Market calculations and problems with the delivery of client emails. Both of these are ongoing issues that FBS is working to resolve. Other than the three items mentioned above we expect there are some things that you believe are either missing or could be done better. We would really like to hear about these. We are happy to learn about the things you like as well but we really want to know what we can do to make your new MLS system even better. The link below will take you to a page where you can provide any feedback you care to share. The submissions can be anonymous but if you include your email address we will make sure and reply to you. It might take a while for a reply based on the number of submissions received and the time it takes to research your specific inquiry but we will reply where possible. It’s not often you get asked to tell us if we are doing something wrong, what is broken or what we need to add but here is that chance. Please let us know how we can improve your new Flexmls system for you and your clients.

Earthlink Blocking Flex MLS Email All email sent to a “xxxx@earthlink.net or .com” address is being blocked by most major email providers. Your clients who have an EARTHLINK email address are likely not receiving any MLS listing communication from you. The quickest way to ensure that your MLS email to your client will not be blocked is to request that your CLIENT provide an alternate email (non-Earthlink, non-Yahoo) for listing email from flexmls. If your clients have a Gmail or other email address, this will not be affected by Earthlink’s denial of delivery. While the exact reason for this blockage is unknown, FBS, makers of flexmls, have diligently contacted and complied with any and all Earthlink requests and have been unable to persuade Earthlink to lift the ban on flex mail delivery. Earthlink is not as large as Yahoo or Gmail, this will affect some users in the Columbus market. Problems with Yahoo email delivery continue, but have improved. There are still serious email delivery problems with Yahoo as well, but they are not as complete as the blocked email at Earthlink. You can read more about security changes Yahoo made recently in an article on the MLS welcome screen.

UPDATE: Private Reports Sent to Mobile Devices Now DO NOT Require Login UPDATE: Flex has suspended the requirement to login to see Private reports on mobile devices. This is a temporary change. MLS is still considering policy and working with Flex to deal with the volatile information on the Private reports. ORIGINAL MESSAGE: REMINDER: it is a violation of MLS policy to allow your clients to login to the MLS using your credentials. Please do not share your password. The sensitivity of agent-only information such as Agent to Agent Remarks, compensation fields, and DOM/CDOM have always been the primary reason that the Private reports should not be sent directly to the public.
