If you have any questions regarding the new classifieds area this is the place to ask them.

Additionally If you have encountered any issues, or have suggestions on how to improve the classifieds please do not hesitate to state them.

Have fun!

Hi
Is it possible to transfer an ad over from the old For sale/wanted section ?
Rather than create a new ad. As I might have to take some new photos for another ad.
Cheers

No, you'll have to create a new one sorry. Can't you just use the photos from the forum, save them to pc, and re-upload them?

Only thing about a separate classified section is that new ads won't show up in the 'new posts' search on the forum (or do they?)

I never browse the forums category by category - just look at the new posts, so I suspect that I'll never see most ads.

Yup, thats the idea. If your not looking to buy, or selling then you wont be "pestered" by them. :2thumbsup if you are looking to buy then you can visit the classifieds area.

Just been in there and loads of boxes with red crosses in them ?

Also, when someone has to pay how do they do it ? I assume paypal only and does it come straight to the normal address ?

No, the CVR4 classifieds is a means to advertise, the transfer of cash is done once both parties have agreed to purchase/sell. much, like the old forum I suppose, but better looking.

Sorry mate, I should have worded that better - I was referring to the £1 fee to non-members

Seems a good idea, but 2 issues.

Is the classifieds section getting the exposure it needs? It has taken me about 3 days to actually realise it had switched over. Maybe me being a bit thick, but maybe others have just not noticed.

There's no way that I can see the area/location of an item. Plus, the profile link points to the application profile, not the standard clubvr4 one which does give an idea of the location, meaning copying and pasting into a search for members.

Thanks

Tim

Good point about the location Tim, maybe Barry can add this to the fields required to be filled in ?

Regarding the exposure, i did post several threads regarding the swap, perhaps not using an easy enough to understand title.. but they are there, I have also made changes to the front page adding in links to the classifieds aswell as a news article which again is displayed on the front page. Theres a sticky thread in the old for sale section, so.. im not sure what else i can do really.

Nice idea, i like it!.. ill start looking into this.. again, thanks for that. its a good idea. here have some rep.

Cheers for that,

About the exposure, now that I know that it has changed over, its the most obvious thing to my eyes when I now log on. So go figure :). I think its fine as it is, probably me just being dumb!

Any chance of having email notification enabled by default for adverts you place. I just found it now, but would have been handy to have it on by default.

Cheers

This was on by default to start with, but it was causing me some headaches, and the emails were blank. it will however return shortly. :2thumbsup

Put in a Classified Ad just now, but as soon as I clicked to save it I got a 404 error. :shout: It did save tho, checked in MyAds - said i've not paid for the ad yet.


Also, to who do i send the £1 fee?

Might be an idea to add a link to relevant member for PM'ing or link to the paypal address for clarity.

Hi there,

I have managed to post a classified for the sale of my car; However the photos I tried to load with the ad don't seem to have made it.

I cannot see how to amend the advert.

Any tips?
