Anybody know a way to fix the script error when asked to re-sign in.

I know, it's 'dead' and such but it still add and retains all our listing and can be used as a template - we can let seasonal stuff disappear and then recreate when needed.

Hi @steve_stuff,

Thanks for posting.

Other Turbo Lister users have been able to get around this error by setting the date on their computer back about 1 year before opening the program.

Given that this is likely a temporary option, I would also highly recommend exporting your data out of the program while you can access it, just in case the fix stops working at any point in the future; Because it is retired, we can't guarantee any functionality. I would recommend looking into SixBit as an alternative that would allow you to keep your same data: https://www.sixbitsoftware.com/tllanding/.

Hope this helps!

Thanks but it didn't work - still can't sign in and it now shows buy it now's having 337 days left. Oh well. But at least I found out I can still get into the program and so can use the unsold listings as template, which is all I need it for. And as to this sixbits, I'm pretty sure it costs more then the name implies.

Thanks and if you're ever in 'Silver stop by the store

Well TL is dead, stopped connecting and now can't even get in, which I though I would still be able to as what I want to see is on my computer.

New question - still have the backups - can anything be done with them? By a not so computer savvy person?

Thanks ahead of time.

Hi @steve_stuff,

I'm sorry to hear that this is still giving you problems.

It might be worth trying to change the date on your PC back a little further, I would suggest into 2019, and see if that works. If not, we haven't found any other work around to get back into the program, nor have I seen reports from other users on another option.

The Turbo Lister backup files are designed to only be operational during the process of restoring a database inside of the program. Regrettably, I don't know of any other program/tool that is able to interface with those. If you are able to get back in, I would recommend exporting your data into CSV files, instead of backups, which you could either copy data out of, or import into a tool like SixBit: https://www.sixbitsoftware.com/EN/Importing_from_Turbo_Lister.htm

Hope this helps!

I'm guessing you mean turn the date back just to get signed in because this site I use - ebay - wouldn't let me do anything till date was fixed.

I was going to just let the TL go, but now that you [ebay] have completely 'intercoursed the dog' with this new multi screen discombobulated mess you call 'classic my ebay' that you forced on the members who pay you money - the sellers - I could now use it to at least keep track of my listings on one page, just like in the olden days of last week - can't do anything but look at what's what now but I could tell what's was going on.

Still, thanks for at least responding and trying - will see if this works.
