[QUOTE="Damien, post: 409976, member: 72299"] Firstly can we move away from the assumption that he's using rev. Giving him "advise" like "it's supposed to be {url} not {hotelurl}" isnt helping anyone, it could very well be {cunt} for all we know. Secondly the base url DOES NOT need to have a revision tag attached to it and in all honestly sometimes it's better not to have one (saves having duplicate data in every revision folder). But now to get ontopic, with findretros it can be a hit or miss in my opinion. Having a script which redirects the client to another website is bad imo, there are so many factors involved that could go wrong in this process, one being that findretros could go down... then what? Don't get me wrong, it very very rarely does but these are all things to consider. If you're using it to monitor activity maybe try using something else, or creating a small script of your own. You'll be far better of having a small area in the housekeeping showing progress, when the peak hours our, where the majority's of the user base are from, ext, ext. The other big thing you need to think about aswell is the fact that there are bigger hotels which gain more traction than you will, no unsuspecting visitor sives through 5 pages to find your hotel with 2 votes a day and thinks "yeah what a great hotel thats gunna be" (no offence), unless their either an advertiser or somebody who wants to cause trouble.
