A few notes on experiences: 1) We're currently running free jobs. This means no Paypal payment notifications. This is a big problem as there's no way of getting notified of a new job post without visiting the GetJobbin module (as adverts and web editorial are run by different people this is a problem). Is there a way to get an email notification of a new job awaiting approval? At the moment I've had to put some copy in the 'thank you' page asking people to email me. 2) When a job has expired it doesn't seem possible to renew it, or even edit it to add the details again, message on selecting 'edit' just says 'are you sure you want to do this?' and can't proceed. 3) It would be great to enable be to access an RSS feed of new jobs posted, at the moment we have to manually edit this into our Twitter feed and website content. It would also be great to have a widget on the homepage saying 'latest jobs' with this feed. 4) On the full job description page, the job title doesn't show up. It would also be good to be able to customise these fields, and add some formatting to the section e.g. Bold text. Really looking forward to the next release of the Module and thanks for all your great work.

When I try to edit a category, I get the following message: Are you sure you want to do this? And the following link below: "Please try again." On clicking this link, I am taken once again to the Categories page and I can't edit the category. I'm using 2.9.2 Thanks once againHi once again.

For now, I'll make do with the reordering. I can probably hide some fields with CSS. But a facility to do so will be helpful in future. Thanks for a great plug-in even at alpha stage.Thanks for the reply. For now, I’ll make do with the reordering. I can probably hide some fields with CSS.
