Property Bee woes...

runswithascript

This utility for Firefox was recommended to me and I've seen it recommended to others also to monitor price changes etc on daft.ie

I installed it but during the setup wizard it asks for my forum username and password which I'd already created but it told me it was yet to be activated.

I never received the email to my Gmail account (checked the spam folder) and it's now been several days. There's a link to resend the activation email but it doesn't appear to do anything. I even tried created a second Property Bee account with a different username and email address but it made no difference.

I've emailed the admin but yet to hear back.

Has anyone else experienced such difficulties?

I've the same problem. I entered the incorrect e-mail address, so could never activate my account.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, but PropertyBee remembers my previous account so I can't register a new e-mail address.

I'm not sure where it's persisting my account details, but it seemed like too much effort to look around, so now I'm PropertyBee less.

I might have a nose around my PC and registry later. If I find anything, I'll post it here.

I had the same problem also. It just takes the guy a few days to get around to all the emails!

Though you'd think they'd fix that bug given that it's so common.

I got this from Gmail after emailing the admin:

It persists account info in the file property-bee.sqlite (located in the firefox profile directory). Deleting (or renaming) this file and restarting firefox will initialise the add-on. In any case, the property-bee server seems to be having a problem at the moment with the sending out of account activation emails (I tried a couple of times and the sending of the email kept failing).

Thanks for that. The admin finally got my email and manually created the account but I had the addon configured with another test account which I didn't want to use. The only way to change the username was in fact by deleting property-bee.sqlite.

I started using property-bee as part of a bee 5 minutes ago, it's amazing. I can see some of the properties I'm interested in renting have been on the site for months which will make it much easier to haggle!
