Re: New Classifieds Going Live

Is there any way that you can set it up so if someone is interested in another persons items for sale they can click on a link that will go directly to PM them instead of email because most people have the email feature shut off so then you have to go look for there profile and PM them from there. Unless I am missing a link or something.

Perfect, exactly what I was about to post If something doesn't sell on its first time around, is it alright to relist it ?

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

Yes, you can relist items as much as you want. Traffic will also pick up when our classifieds have their own domain name.

We will also have random ads showing up in the portal on the home page, various other sections of the site.

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

Will there be an option to put down a B/O instead of $0.00 for a price option? Also is it alright if we list up a group still instead of a bunch of different ads. Maybe it would work out if there was another section for group ads to look through and another seperate section for indavidual ads. Just a thought.

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

Individual ads will probably end up being the only ones accepted to keep the system clean and searchable.

There will be NO best offer only option. If you are selling it you'll have to include a price. you can always add a OBO in the description if you want.

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

No offense, but isn't this new system just making an old functional system more confusing and time consuming? I'm just thinking if someone is doing a part-out they'll end up making 50+ ads to list all their stuff for sale and will still only hit a small percentage of board members. A lot of times people buy stuff as an impulse buy when a FS thread pops-up or read a WTB thread and are like "oh yeah, I have that sitting in my shed" and aren't directly looking for it or trying to sell it. I also liked the on-topic discussion and Q&A that the FS/WTB threads incorporated. I am all for changes to the board in order to make it better/bigger, but I also do not feel I am in the minority regarding this issue.

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

Until the new one is up and tested and used in a fully functional manner I'm not even considering changing it back.

I want a system people can use to buy and sell items, provide feedback in an easy format, and be easily searchable. Having them in the forums was just leading to clutter in lots of cases. And I am not worried abotu someone having to take the extra time to place multiple "free" ads when we had to spend as much of our own time moderating the olds ads for all the meaningless banter.

This is the type of system we are going to, it will work once given a solid chance to prove itself. If it falls flat on it's ass after a long run then i will evaluate it then, but not until then.

Of course I could always go back to the old way, and slap on a $1 fee to start a new thread of any kind in the classifieds area. And have it be 100% open game

Have you looked at NABR's system? It is about as simple and easy to use as it gets.

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

No offense, but there have been a lot of proposed and implimented changes over the past 6 months, and I have yet to see a positive or worthwhile one. So I have to ask, to what end are you going through all of this trouble?

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

There is a lot of work ahead on several of the changed we've begun to put in place. And, as I said before, until they are all working 100% together it's all going to be a learning phase. It will take time, probably a long time, as we can't commit full time hours to a job that demands that need.

I think the old system was one hundred times better and easier to use. This new system has totally killed the ease of buying/selling.

Glad I can spend time fixing what you are probably only here to use.


We have a new system already setup to replace the SR Classifieds (yes the admin teams hates the SR shit to now) so just chill.

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

Sweet. Glad to hear. I say switch it back to the old system with new required info or what ever.
Like a separate window for price, contact info, feedback. etc.

Just a helpful suggestion, i hope.

We will not be going back to the old "thread in forum" style.

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

I'm not sure if we swapped over yet, but if we did I still don't see a PM feature. Is that going to be an option? I rarely check the email I'm registered under as I'm sure many others are the same.

Re: New Classifieds Going Live

The newest system has yet to be implemented, i think they are still working on a few bugs.

So, is the new one in place yet?

I'm getting way more responses on my part out via EvoMN and MN3S. I think this proves the classifieds here aren't getting any traffic. Also, I tried to respond to the one person interested here and my response got lost.
