Overture did a change to the control panel (and is being sloooow right now, so hard todo updates).

Many bidding types were changed from auto to fixed, or vice versa.

If you had different bids per match type, many of them might be gone.

If you were using negative keywords, many of them are now gone.

I have some descriptions and titles that have been replaced with some old titles/descriptions from over 3 months ago.

As Tropical Island mentioned in another post, some content ads were auto enabled and accounts charged over the weekend for those with content turned off.

Might want to check your accounts carefully this week.

Ditto. I was able to log in late yesterday evening, but just went back to check my listings after seeing ewhisper's post and I get an error message.

If you have accounts that are totally messed up, OV can return the account to the state it was in last week by giving them a call or mailing their support team.

Much easier than changing hundreds of descriptions and URLs.

But why should we have to?

I can't believe the stupidity of the Overture engineers and coders.

What are they doing? Everytime they touch it it breaks!

It's getting to the point that when I see there will be a DTC upgrade, I'm going to start pausing some accounts over the weekend.

Unfortunately, OV is here to stay because of their Y partner. Hopefully, some of their other partners will drop them in favor of someone else, which might cause them to look inward at why they lost those accounts.

This has really gotten out of hand.

Content match advertising was turned on for one of the accounts I manage. They didn't even notify me of this.

Many of my descriptions have been changed to ones I used three months ago.

I've contacted them and haven't received a response.

The new menu system stinks too! "Manage Products"?
