Members'
classified ads are always ranked above non-member ads within the
same date stamp; this is one of the benefits of paid  membership
in OEN. We're now flagging all Member ads with our
Member button (see illustration at left) so they are recognizable
by visitors, just as Member business listings are flagged with the
Member button in our Business Directory. This added benefit
highlights members' ad ranking and gives their ads greater
visibility. For more information on how classified ads are ranked
and grouped, please see our Classifieds
FAQ page. To become a OEN Member, click the "Join
now" link in the left hand column of your control
panel or call 800-943-8883.
Important notice
to AOL users. In
their efforts to stop spammers, AOL is blocking domains and ISPs
in unprecedented numbers.. If you have signed up as a
registered user and posted classified ads or other information on
our site, OEN will send you automatic messages containing your
login info., classified ad confirmations including your ad ID
number, charge receipts, and OENmail inquiries from visitors who
are responding to your ads. If you're not receiving these
messages, check with AOL. If you don't want to receive
email messages via OEN, or if you receive a message from OEN
that you believe is spam, please alert us right away; do NOT report these messages to AOL as spam: If you report them as
spam, it's not the person in the 'FROM' address field who gets
reported and blocked, it's OEN's own email server. Please note
we never use email to send unsolicited advertising, nor do we sell or share contact info. with
other companies; see our Privacy
Policy.
Because AOL is extremely aggressive
in blocking perceived spam (see /updates.htm#aol
and http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22aol%22%2B%22blocking+email%22),
legitimate messages to AOL addresses may be blocked. We recommend
using an email address other than AOL (for example, a free
web-based email address such as Yahoo or Hotmail) when registering
or posting ads.
Attention,
Mac/Safari Browser Users:
Our parent company Extend, Inc. is working to resolve an incompatibility
problem between Mac's Safari
browser and our classified ads' php programming. Please
note it's not Mac per se, and not all Safari users are
affected. If you have difficulty
accessing our site using Safari, please try IE, Netscape, or Opera. Can't access
our control panel or secure pages?
OEN will post and edit ads directly for you.
Use our
Safari-friendly secure form at https://secure.azc.com/dvsmith/orderphoto2.html
to submit a photo ad. If you're submitting a text-only ad, no need to use a
form; just email your text directly to info@oregonequest.com
along with your instructions and we'll post it for you.
Have questions or need assistance? Check our Classified
FAQ, write to us at info@oregonequest.com,
or call 800-943-8883 during regular business hours. We're happy to help.
Tips on
navigating
our site: Having
difficulty viewing a page? Not seeing the most recent
ads? Not receiving OENmail? Please check the following:
- Erase your Temporary Internet Files - this can greatly improve the performance of
your browser and should be part of your regular
maintenance routine.
- Clear your browser's history.
- Refresh the page
2-3 times in your browser. Allow the page to download
completely before scrolling or clicking on links.
- Set
your browser and/or Internet Security software to allow
cookies from bayequest.info. For more
information on how we use cookies, please see OEN's privacy
policy.
- Turn
off ad-blocking on this site. Many individuals and
business networks are using Internet protection/ad
blocking software such as Norton NIC, Google, etc. and
leaving all default features turned on. These
ad-blocking programs can interfere with your ability to
navigate this and other web sites by hiding or disabling
legitimate links. If you see blank spaces instead of
"Submit new text-only ad", "Submit new
photo ad", "Classified Ads", "Horses
For Sale", etc. or if the links don't function,
then ad-blocking software is a likely culprit.
Symantec's Norton Internet Security and Firewall
software is the #1 offender; it's included with many new
computers and comes with ad blocking turned ON by
default. You can turn off Norton NIC
ad-blocking for a specific web site and leave it on for
others.
- Turn
off anti-popup software on this site. Many links in
our classified ads open in a new browser window so you'll never get
"lost" from where you started. If you have
anti-popup software running on your computer, please set
it to allow popup windows while navigating our site.
OEN never
uses popups to deliver advertising.
- Are you
a Safari user?
OEN has discovered a conflict between Mac's Safari
browser and our classified ads' programming. We're
working to locate and fix the problem. In the meantime
please use Internet Explorer, Netscape, or Opera to
browse our site.
- If you have anti-spam
software screening your email, please set it to allow email from
the domains oregonequest.com and BAYEQUEST.INFO.

Infected email
messages spoof OEN. Copied below are samples of email messages that
spoof OEN's 'from' address.. Other
similar messages arrived subsequently with varying "from"
address and subject lines. The messages' attachment (sometimes a
zip file) is a common email worm. These messages purport to be
from OEN, but they are NOT. You can tell these are bogus messages
for the following reasons:
(1) FROM address is not a legitimate email account for our
domain.
(2) Wording of both the subject and message is awkward, as if
the sender is not an English speaker.
(3) Subject references a non-existent service; OEN does not
manage email accounts or anti-virus services for its users.
(4) Message does not include Debbie Smith's signature block.
(5) Message does not identify the type of file attachment. OEN
rarely sends attachments, but if we do we will clearly identify
the attachment in the body of the message (for example, .jpg,
.gif, .doc, .pdf, etc.). We never send .zip files.
If you receive a message of this sort, do NOT open the
attachment. Your virus protection software should take care of it
for you, but play it safe and delete upon receipt.
This is not a OEN-specific attack - we're hearing from other
domain owners who are receiving similar messages targeted to their
own domains. Here's what our email services provider AZC.COM has
to say on this subject:
"As far as
we can tell, this is a new virus being sent to everyone. We're
receiving them in support as well as in our personal email boxes
(ie: yahoo accounts) as well. Most likely, these are coming from
hijacked machines, but I'm guessing whatever program has
infected these computers also generates a message with the
domain name in the signature line, ie: AZC.com Staff These are
the two latest articles on worms at cnet.com, though they don't
mention this new variant: http://news.com.com/2100-7355-5167596.html,
http://news.com.com/2100-7355-5169195.html.
Most likely someone you know has been infected and, as with
MyDoom, the virus is drawing names from their address book and
sending out messages with those names in the sender and
signature fields of the email. You will also want to check our
FAQ on email forgeries: http://azc.com/htmls/faqs/deal_with_forgeries.html."

Scam
Alert: Exploring all the Internet has to offer can be great fun and very profitable, but it pays to have some "street smarts".
Please see important information on Internet scams, including updates on the ubiquitous
"Cashier's Check
Scam". These scammers are all over the Internet
targeting anyone selling high-priced items such as cars,
boats, airplanes, and yes, even horses and horse
equipment. We urge you to learn how to recognize their
pitches and take appropriate steps to protect yourself. |

are further
steps you can take to protect yourself against spam.
