    Promoting Each Other

    That would be the way to go, Morticia, for convenience for guests (for Google's robots, the link page is necessary too...)

    New keypad lock

    All that you wrote is correct, Alibi Ike, but we do like the idea of individual codes being issued automatically by the web software and then expiring without us having to remember to do that expiration manually. The other thing we need to find is a good door closer - one that goes very slowly...

    New keypad lock

    I think we have decided to keep the mechanical locks on each guest room and get a Resort Lock 4000 (with individual time progammed entry codes for the front door). This is not ideal, since this lock will only cater for 4 separate time progammed entry codes for the front door (and we potentially...

    New keypad lock

    Thanks for the reminder about the "Resources" section here, Alibi Ike - it really is a great facility. The link you posted there goes to the key merchant's home page http://www.keylessaccesslocks.com/ What was the actual lock you used, please? What we would like to do is to find one keypad lock...

    Sorry to be dense but I can't see that link. Was it edited out?

    Does the FAQ need updating?

    I can completely understand and sympathise with that point of view, swirt. However, I am not suggesting that you use your normal email address to send those robotic "your posting is in moderation, please be patient" emails. My suggestion is to use a "send only" email address that makes it clear...

    A good PMS with a channel manager will save you all that hassle and heartache, camberleyhotelharrogate. The problem we found with most channel managers is that they are inflexible in the way that they set identical prices for all your various outlets and ridiculously expensive in the rates they...

    CHECK THE DATE

    Well, I don't see any posts that go into the holding pen unless they emerge the other side so it is difficult for me to judge what is getting zapped. But I do take your word for it that genuinely helpful posts that conform to the FAQ guidelines will eventually re-appear. I can only re-iterate...

    CHECK THE DATE

    From lurking here for the last three months, I relise that you are probably our most prolific poster, Joey Bloggs. On Yuku based boards I can see who has posted what and when and how frequently they have just read but not posted ("lurked"). Is there such a tool available here (or for the...

    Does the FAQ need updating?

    Apologies for jumping to conclusions, swirt! And that seems to be an eminently sensible signature policy now I know what is happening. I suppose that I have been overly sensitive because of my stupidity in not realising that i) there were not tools available on this board to recognise regular...

    Thanks, Cherry64! I've just searched the "resources" for that glossary but could not find it. Sorry about my old and rheumy eyes, but where is the glossary link to be found please?

    Does the FAQ need updating?

    That makes sense, gillumhouse. As you could have told from my signature (before somebody/thing started monkeying around with it), our Amber family runs Amber House at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. I'm in the final year of my seventh decade and I code our website and handle computer...

    Does the FAQ need updating?

    Thank you for your helpful insights, Alibi Ike. For anybody that reads out loud or with care (as opposed to skimming), it would have been abundantly obvious (since I stated in my deleted post that we had used our PMS for some years) that I was a satisfied user rather than proprietor, shareholder...

    Does the FAQ need updating?

    About 2 hours ago I posted what I hoped was useful information for people who were having difficulty keeping their room inventory up-to-date on various channels: https://www.innspiring.com/node/8503#comment-96425 This was in reply to a comment from a British forum user having difficulties with...

    New Zealand Earthquake Feb 22, 2011

    Wellington, New Zealand's capital, is at the southern tip of the North Island. It is, perhaps, even more prone to huge future earthquakes than San Francisco or Christchurch. Our legislators have arranged to fully earthquake proof their own buildings that they work in of course... At the moment...

    I think that's a smooth line too when asking for payment on arrival! One of the things I like about my PMS is the way I can just hover my mouse tip on the room calendar and, as well as name and number of guests and estimated arrival time, it will display the original room rate, any extras and if...
