Help
I've accidentally changed the date of one of my TNS jobs and now can't change it back as I've reached the maximum amount of attempts. Am I better 'phoning to try and change it back or am I better emailing them. I'm just asking as I've only done a couple of jobs with them and haven't needed to contact them before. The job should have been for tomorrow and I changed it to Wednesday by accident. Thanks.

What frustrates me is that when the alerts thread has a post on...it never applies to my area. Seriously, do I live in a blackspot or what? :rotfl:

Maybe it would help if posters on the alert thread post what area of the country they are in. Just an idea.

I would just email them and put something like URGENT in the subject. That's what I did when I had to have the times for a mini supermarket changed. HTH.

I don't think thats the problem I do think it depends on the company I know GFK release in waves... to different shoppers and RE well the webpage can be messed up at times. I know both me and my partner are registered sometimes I can see 100 jobs and he sees 20 and other times its vise versa.

My month is getting busier now. I've got a fitness session (don't ask :doh:), a spa treatment (to recover from the fitness session), lunch at a farm shop, an exam, an audit and some crisp photos to do too. Add in a weekend in Cornwall (not a ms unfortunately) and it's go go go.

It is a forum that I have recently created and trying to get some activity on. Very similar to what goes on here just wanted to try and break things down into various categories.

It's being done on both MSUK and The Office. Bit pointless to set up yet another MS forum IMHO.

The only advantage that MSUK and The Office have (had) over MSE is that they (used to ) have MS reps who would only post jobs on those forums

That seems to have fallen by the wayside now so neither forum is worth it-unless you want the "goss" on Corrie or Eastenders:eek:

IIRC it is by bank transfer. It took months for me, had to chase them up numerous times but I did get it in the end. I think the reasons for the delays were genuine though and they were very apologetic.:)
