Just a quick note.

Yesterday the UK inventory was giving out May 07's figures. Today - put any name in and the result is 'zero'.

So at the moment this tool as no value and until it gets fixed.

Does'nt appear to be just the UK's results. Appears to be every international OV tool.

Yep, dead as a dodo.

On my site, normally if Overture is slow I give it a high timeout but unfortunatley now it can't even connect to the site.

Given the fact that Overture is rarely updated and been getting slower over the last few months, it really is of no use to anyone now.

I think we have all had good value for money out of it

olebean · 13-09-2007, 11:21:48 AM

Has anyone approached OV?
