Please Note: The Quick Launch functionality will not change. The updated text indicates just some of the different items that the Quick Launch can search. Clicking on the Quick Launch bar allows you to access your Recent and Draft searches and by typing at least two characters into the bar, you can access the following:
You can also search for listings by typing basic search criteria such as price, status, beds, baths, city and more into the Quick Launch bar. For more information, click on the links below for a few videos provided by the vendor, FBS. Updated – Original Post on 12/12/2016

RESOLVED – Updated 12/9/16 – Flexmls email delivery issues — att.net and sbcglobal.net Update 12/9 8:19 AM: Our vendor FBS states “After monitoring email delivery for the last day, we believe this issue to be completely resolved. Thanks for your patience, and our apologies for the inconvenience that this has caused” Update 12/8 10:12 AM: Our vendor FBS states “AT&T has processed our block removal request, and they began accepting our emails at around 6pm Central on Dec 7th. We’re currently monitoring the situation to make sure that they continue to be delivered as expected, and will resolve this issue once we are comfortable that all of the issues have completely cleared up.” Update 12/7 3:30pm: We’ve determined that there are some other domains under the AT&T’s control that are also affected. The complete list of affected domains is as follows: At this time, we’re still waiting on a response from AT&T regarding this issue, so don’t have an ETA on a resolution. We’ll update this incident when we receive more information.
Previous Updates: Following the Dec 2nd issues that delayed the sending of Flexmls email notifications, AT&T’s email systems detected the change in our mail sending pattern/schedule, and automatically blocked all emails that are coming from our servers. This affects the majority of emails that are being sent to recipients with addresses on the att.net and sbcglobal.net domains. A recommended solution would be to check if your client has a secondary email address other than att.net or sbcglobal.net. The vendor of Flexmls, FBS, detected this issue and reached out to AT&T on the morning of Dec 5th, and are awaiting a response from their postmaster team.

RESOLVED – Updated 12/05/16 : Flexmls Email Delivery Delayed 12/05/16 – Update: As stated by FBS, the email capacity was restored by 5PM Friday evening. Throughout the weekend, they were monitoring the system and did not see any failure. The vendor will be continuing to monitor the situation, but all items have been caught up. At approximately 11:40pm (Central) on Thursday, December 1st Flexmls has experienced slowdowns with the storage system used to provide the My Sent Emails feature. Those slowdowns were impacting other services so we took the collection offline. This caused some issues with prospecting overnight and those were addressed this morning. Emails sent in the overnight hours are delayed but have been going out. They are expected to be caught up around 5pm today. Flexmls is also working to restore data for My Sent Emails in a way that doesn’t reintroduce performance issues. In the meantime, you’ll likely notice less data than you are used to when accessing this feature. This post will be updated with any updates as they are received.
