Welcome to biopowered!

I thought Tony put together a forum or wiki page that detailed all the oil collecting sites to which you could add your URL.  I thought it had code that could be copied and pasted into your site to list and link to all the others, but I can't find it ... was I imagining things?

Most people on here also frequent the VOD, so posting the same request there will help your endeavors.  I'll add you to site next time I update.

It's taken a long time but I now only pay for one collection.  All my free collections are from outlets that found my website ... people seem to be more loyal if they ask you to collect.  Keeping them happy over the years with prompt, regular collections seems to have worked for me.

I think G4 now only pay 10ppl for collections under 240 ltrs and I believe they only collect when it suits their vehicles routing, so small outlets often prefer someone who collects with a day or twos notice and due to the small quantities aren't bothered about getting paid for it.

Page 3 of this thread has the latest updated version of the code to copy and paste onto your site.

Well done Keith ... that was it I think.

I can't logon to the wiki either.

I thought it was a browser issue asa I use an obscure one but I still get the problem in FireFox.

No, others have to add you manually to their websites, but are usually happy to do so once they see a link to their site on your website.
