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.

The Rumors are True! Microsoft: Support for Windows XP Ended April 8, 2014 Am I running Windows XP? If you are unsure, Microsoft has provided a website that will detect and tell you if you are running Windows XP on your system. You’ll want to run this on any computer you may believe as running Windows XP as each system will need to be addressed. The website is as follows: What does this mean for me? What this means for you is that if you are currently running an system with Windows XP, you’ll want to consider upgrading to or purchasing a system with a newer version of Windows. Our vendor’s current plans call for Tempo/Fusion to support Windows XP through the February conversion to flexMLS, but please be aware that after Microsoft discontinues Windows XP in April, future vendor support will likely end. For recommendations on your next computer system, you may wish to check this article written to discuss computer purchases: http://www.columbusrealtors.com/NewsDetail.aspx?article=69992448 Why is this Happening? As many may have heard over the last few months, Microsoft is moving to end support for PC systems running Windows XP on April 8, 2014. As such, Windows XP will no longer receive software updates from Windows Update. These include security updates that can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software, which can steal your personal information. Windows Update also installs the latest software updates to improve the reliability of Windows XP—new drivers for your hardware and more. You will also likely find many third party type programs, such as anti-virus, will end their support of Windows XP at the same time. If you have a specific question about a program and its support under Windows XP, you’d want to check the vendor that provided the software for details. Microsoft has released a site that covers all the details regarding their decision and what options are available. Please use the link below to visit: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-support-help For users of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, please be aware that this notice does not affect you. To verify the version of Windows you are running, please use the following guide supplied by Microsoft, to help: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/which-operating-system
