For the last week the notices regarding messages waiting were not going out. Please check if you haven’t recently.
The messages are there, but the notices regarding them were not going out.
My apologies for the inconvenience.

email address for classifieds
I understand that google pulled the plug on the email accounts for PennsWoods somewhere around 6:30 this afternoon.
You should use classifieds@losch.net if you need to get hold of me.
Thanks!
Chris
Amazon Payments
Amazon is ending the payment system that PennsWoods has been using for the last 6 or 7 years. While I consider Amazon Payments to be an excellent system, I’ve had difficulty making changes with Amazon in the past.
If you’ve recently made a payment via Amazon, there shouldn’t be any problem with it. I will shortly be removing Amazon based payment options from the site however.
Thanks,
Chris
Email Address Change
PennsWoods.net email addresses are in the process of being discontinued.
Please update your address books, as I am now using classifieds@losch.net for communication regarding PW Classifieds.
The address of the website will remain UNCHANGED!
Emails previously sent to classifieds@pennswoods.net have been moved to classifieds@losch.net, and currently emails being sent to classifieds@pennswoods.net are being forwarded to classifieds@losch.net. I don’t know how long that will continue.
I apologize, one of the side effects of this is that I am quite a bit behind in responding to emails. I hope to be caught back up in the next few days.
Thanks,
Chris
MyMessages Delete Option
A popular request has been for a means to delete existing messages under ‘My Messages’. I intended to provide this but didn’t have it ready at launch time.
This is in place now. Thanks!
Scammers Creating Fake Government Websites
IC3, the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center is reporting an uptick in scammers faking US Goverment websites.
I’m pointing it out here mostly as a reminder that these criminals are everywhere, and come up with really surprising approaches to separate Americans from their hard earned dollars.

My Messages
I’ve added a ‘My Messages’ section to the classifieds, in the upper left.
Messages you send through the site will show up in the outbox now.
This doesn’t replace the system we’ve used for years to deliver messages to your email. However all your messages will be available under ‘My Messages’, and I hope that it will make life simpler for you.
Merry Christmas!
Have a great Christmas Eve. Please don’t drink and drive. Please do have a good time.
Update to Posting Ads
I’ve occasionally been asked about the available size of the description in PW Classifieds. It is currently set to 3,000 characters.
Today I installed a package that will check the size of the message as you type it, and let you know when you are running short on space.
Please let me know if you run into any problems with it, if you hate it, if you love it.
password phishing
I’m told that some people have received emails stating that their PennsWoods accounts were reported for fraud, and asking them to click a link.
I do NOT send emails telling people they’ve been reported for fraud.
If you’ve received such an email and logged into such a page, please kindly go to the FAQ located in the upper left of the classifieds. Changing your password is FAQ #3.
Thanks,
Chris
