canadajane Sophomore Author Ontario Posts:124 Points:63,175 Joined:Jan 2013	Message Posted: Mar 6, 2013 8:39:47 AM Ignore canadajane Report Abuse I am very new to GasBuddy, so I may be missing this. I pass one particular station every day and so want to report the pricing, but could never find the station on the add gas prices section. Now I have just got enough point to finally see the master station list and finally found the station I have been looking for. However I cannot add this to my own favourites from the master list- am I missing something? I want to add the pricing, but when trying cannot find the station as no one else is reporting the pricing so it doesn't show up. Very confused, so if anyone can offer an answer I would appreciate it.

Scrapheap Champion Author Virginia Posts:14,692 Points:2,386,655 Joined:Sep 2006	Message Posted: Mar 20, 2013 2:33:14 AM Ignore Scrapheap Report Abuse I tried using Safari and it does not work with Safari. Also, there seems to be 2 users having a war over this station, switching its location between Corbyville and Blessington. This could cause some issues with your FSL entry.

CampKohler Champion Author Sacramento Posts:9,686 Points:1,585,260 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Mar 19, 2013 1:54:34 PM Ignore CampKohler Report Abuse Can anyone else confirm this problem with Safari? If there is a problem with that function with that browser, it should be addressed.
canadajane Sophomore Author Ontario Posts:124 Points:63,175 Joined:Jan 2013	Message Posted: Mar 19, 2013 8:41:53 AM Ignore canadajane Report Abuse Thank you Scapheap, that worked. Was using Safari, but switched to Firefox and was able to add station. Many thanks.
Scrapheap Champion Author Virginia Posts:14,692 Points:2,386,655 Joined:Sep 2006	Message Posted: Mar 18, 2013 10:23:01 PM Ignore Scrapheap Report Abuse Did you try a different browser? A window should pop up asking you which FSL you want to add it to. I wonder if you have some browser setting that is preventing you from seeing that. That station works for me.
canadajane Sophomore Author Ontario Posts:124 Points:63,175 Joined:Jan 2013	Message Posted: Mar 18, 2013 8:46:06 AM Ignore canadajane Report Abuse I go to the MSL and search for the area and get a list of stations. In this case 4. http://www.ontariogasprices.com/StationMasterList_nv.aspx?SIndex=0&SText=&CIndex=101&CText=&STIndex=44&MIndex=0&MText=&PIndex=&Street=&state=ON The one I want is Global Blessington Store which is showing, but nothing happens when I click on Add to my Favorites. I have tried with some other stations and cannot add them either. It lets me edit and view on map, but not add to favorites. Any help appreciated, thanks.

GoGoGoodyear Champion Author Los Angeles Posts:2,117 Points:530,950 Joined:Mar 2010	Message Posted: Mar 12, 2013 4:40:20 AM Ignore GoGoGoodyear Report Abuse I'm assuming the OP is referring to the full website not the smartphone app since they mention accessing the MSL. The OP might be drilling down in the MSL to the details of a single station first, then looking for the button to add it to the FSL from there, instead of from the MSL list of stations that are returned when searching in the MSL. Also while it's true that a station with expired prices won't show up in an area search, the station should be available on the Report Gas Prices page (if it exists in the MSL) but I've had an occassional problem finding stations on the Report Prices page because they were not in the city I thought they were but in an adjacent geographical area.

CampKohler Champion Author Sacramento Posts:9,686 Points:1,585,260 Joined:May 2007	Message Posted: Mar 8, 2013 5:40:10 PM Ignore CampKohler Report Abuse Can you give us the exact keystrokes you are using? (Due to the fact that GB site pages are not numbered or consistently named, it is sometimes difficult to determine exactly what a member is talking about exactly and we need to be exact to help you). If I go to the MSL (somegasprices.com/StationMasterList_nv.aspx) and select a metro-area and city (also known on other site pages as area), I get a list of all the stations in that city. Any station which is currently in one of my FSL's shows a link "Favorite Station" accompanied by a yellow star, whereas any station that is not in any of my FSL's shows a link "Add To My Favorites." Clicking either link will produce a dialog box to allow selecting an FSL and entering any desired comment. Clicking "Add to Favorites List" should produce a "Successfully added station to your favorite stations list" message, to which you must click "OK" to continue. (Note that a recent change nullifies an apparently successful addition of a station that is already in that list, i.e. you can't add the same station twice to the same FSL, L=Forum_MSG.aspx?master=1&category=1055&topic=531230](about which the fur flies here[/L].) Please try the above steps and see if you can make it work. If not, please return with the exact step where it fails and we'll investigate. [Edited by: CampKohler at 3/8/2013 5:45:12 PM EST]

Scrapheap Champion Author Virginia Posts:14,692 Points:2,386,655 Joined:Sep 2006	Message Posted: Mar 6, 2013 9:48:15 AM Ignore Scrapheap Report Abuse If you can perform an area search and a list of stations appear along the left hand side of the screen, simply click on the Add To My Favorites link next to the particular station you want to add.
