Tempo is not an option. Marketlinx is discontinuing the product.

The problems will be solved, eventually.

Deb - eventually isn't good enough.

I am not a part of your real estate board, however, we at Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) use MLXchange and have recently been upgraded for free to the pro version.

My biggest complaint is that MLXchange forces Internet Explorer on me. For people that have Macs, this sucks, because you need a version of IE higher than 6 for MLXchange. Microsoft stopped supporting IE for Mac after version 5.5 or something.

If you want MLXchange back, bury the MLS in comments, not the survey.  They changed to MLXchange by choice since it's a much better product.  Now that I've gotten used to it, I find it much better than Tempo.  I know they've been telling people they weren't given a choice to change, but it's crap.

We use Tempo in Indy and it has its share of problems too.  I have used MLXchange as well and it is very similar to our new system here.  What is the deal?  What is so bad about it?

When will these MLS's figure out that they work for the REALTORs not the other way around.  It is such a pain to deal with these kinds of people when you are paying them.

I think it is an outrage that MLXchange doesn't conform to standards.

C'mon people, it's 2008 - there's no reason that we should have to deal with Microsoft's crap because MLXchange can't get their act together.

There ARE standards for designing sites for the Internet, and we need to let MLXchange know that we expect them to be followed so that we have the freedom to use the browser and operating system of our choice.

Yes to Mac, Yes to Safari, Yes to iPhone, Yes to Opera, Yes to Opera mobile, Yes to Blackberry!

FIX THE SITE!

Further to my partner's previous note above, send an email to support@mlxchange.com registering your complaint about lack of support for browsers other than Microsoft's Internet Explorer.  Make your voice heard!
