What I'd suggest is emailing me directly via the contact form and I can take a look at the problems for you. I'm not quite clear, but it sounds as though your tech guy might have made some modifications to OIO? The default script certainly shouldn't suffer from problems such as payment options not showing up (unless the payment options have not been setup in the admin area). It would also be useful to know the email address of your tech guy, as I can check whether I have received any emails from them. Had someone emailed me 10 times about an issue, it would have been resolved long ago.

Well click on any link there, such as the oio publisher link and it does not work, there is also no payment option in the scheme anymoore
with the upgrade it refuses even the emailaccount.

and no bugs… I just got a huge invoice of my technical guy who said the following:

As I stated in the E-Mail that accompanied the February invoice it did not include the work on the OIO Publisher Advertising plug-in. Setting that up took a fair chunk of time and I did keep you updated on my progress the problems that I had with their system had NOTHING to do with my experience with WordPress but with the lack of documentation and poor support and bad design of their product, again if you check your E-Mail you will see this.

I just checked and I sent 10 E-Mails to the creator of OIO Publisher and received 9 E-Mails in response. These were complex E-Mails and I always have to ensure that when I send a request for what I believe is a problem that it is a genuine problem and that requires research and double-checking, otherwise the request will be ignored and when you have a real problem they won’t answer.

so, what is your advice?

Notification of any version updates are sent out by email, and there is an internal notification system that should let you know when a new version is available. This blog is also updated whenever a new version is released.

I just checked the website you linked to and it appears you’re using v2.08, which wasn’t a version that experienced any major bugs. When you say that the whole system doesn’t work, can you be more specific as to what isn’t functioning?

In any case, I’d advise a quick upgrade to the latest version. Please follow this tutorial for best results when upgrading.

today I got a request for an ad, and it turns out that the whole system does not work anymore on our site. I don’t know for how long, but i was indeed wondering whether this whole oio system was making any commercial sense. now i understand why. it would have great if you have allerted us…

I cant wait to see the new interface!

Since I use OIO as an actual ad server (serving ads across many sites) I would really like to see a way to manage the paid post function across many sites . . . perhaps manage it similar to an ad zone with individual pricing on a per zone basis.

The current setup only works to sell post for the domain which OIO is installed on . . .

Anyway, keep up the good work!
