I recommend it as well. I just /mailsave as soon as I log in and then delete all my e-mails. Whenever I log off for the day Irun SWG Merchant which uploads the e-mails (it can take quite a while if you have a lot of e-mails) and is ready for my viewing next time I get on. Can't beleive I waited so long to use a site like this...only been using it for about 2 months now with no problems.

I use merchants friend but learned to save off each month separately because otherwise it freezes up too much when I try to open it.

I use Merchant's Friend as well, but I wish the source code was available so someone can update it and expand on it even.

I love Merchant's Friend and I really wish it was still actively developed.

I use Merchant's Friend...its great.
The only flaw I have with it is that I have problems keeping track of my stock levels, but then it isn't a feature so can't blame Merchant's Friend, and im not sure what other programs are available to help in this.
I am actually thinking of writing a program to interface with a MYSQL db on a webserver. When u /mailsave, it does the same sort of stuff Merchants friend does, but also uploads the sales to a site to deduct it from your stock. When you add a run of something new, u can upload the details and quantities to the db. This would allow you to see what your stock is online, and you could send the link to your customers too, so that they can see what you have available before they make the trip there.
There are 2 problems tho...not enough hours in the day, and I don't know MYSQL...yet.
