Official Thread for questions on the new Classifieds Service

Please inform us (Admin) of any questions you may have with the new Classifieds service.

Here is the Newsletter we sent out end February 2019 with instructions how to use the service.


Your adverts should look like this one:

 

We think 25USD is fair for 60 days, the rest of the forum is Gratis. And AG is 100USD, Ebay is fee, but they get you (a lot) on the sale and PP charges.
Some audio gears is into the thousands....

 

as stated there is NO CHARGE for a "want to buy" ad

Also ad placement is open to all members but allows a much better platform for the ad to be easily found and seen by all viewers (members and lurkers)

 

I have set the new Classifieds to be visible to members logged in and not logged in, and non registered. But for non registered they can only view, not comment or comms with the seller.

 

The old Buy & Sell is visible, and the seller can delete, but it can't be updated with new images or text now. It is frozen. It will stay visible to end March.

 

Placed an ad this afternoon but it’s not showing up in new classifieds or anywhere else but where I bookmarked.

Looks ok here. I can see it from the Classifieds navigation top of the site.

 

This is all I see under New Classified Listings menu and it never show up under New Post either.

The top two ads are still not showing up for me, you can see the time stamp it’s after your posts.

It shows up if I go to the Classified menu but not in the New Classified Listings.

There is something weird going on. Please can you go into your advert and re upload your image, but add it as a full image into the start of the [post as my guide said. Then see if it shows up in New Media: New Classified Listings. Sorry, I deleted your preview photo while trying to fix this bug. It is best to add as a full image for this to work.

I need to work out if it is affecting only latest ads, or only on a mobile preview. Thanks.

 

I just uploaded the picture again, the problem is still there the top two ads don't show up in New Listings on my laptop either.

OK, I have drilled down a bit on this. By hitting the New Classifieds tab, the software displays the latest ads, but only ones you haven't seen before. If you click that Ypsilon ad, then go back (as logged in) and go to Latest Classifieds, it does not display the Ypsilon.

I am in comms with Xenforo who wrote the software, to ask how to alter the variable that is calling up your history. It may be better to just show latest by date (if possible) rather than latest and ones you haven't viewed yet.

 

I have now hidden the Latest Classifieds tab, as it is confusing people. We have the Classifieds main navigation tab, and then they see all the list of adverts in date order. That works best. Lets leave it like this.

Thank you Julian!

The New Listings tab is still there with the same issue.

You're right.

Julian remove "new listings"
