Ok, I have completed pretty much all the graphical changes i feel are required to make it look pretty.
I have also made the following changes.
1. Cleaned up Each Catagory to only show Item title.
2. Removed the "wanted" images from within the wanted category. (looked really ugly) - This along with point 1 makes this category very pleasing on the eye (i think)
3. Changed "per page" to allow 10, and 20 items.
4. Redesigned the actual ads, so its easier on the eyes.
5. Got rid of some of the crap within the comments, trying to keep it a bit cleaner.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve things please reply, at the end of the day you guys will be using it, and if theres scope for improvement we might aswell address them.
P.s. Has anyone found any other problems with the classifieds?
Thank you.
Barry
As far as I can tell, there is no way to tell if adverts have been added in the new classifieds without going in to each section. Is it worth having a last time modified/added column?
Ill take a look what i can do, the previous collumn, as far as i remember (and why its ben removed) only showed last comment. Rather than last advert, but ill take a look, its a good point Nick.. cheers.
been looking thru it,
my personal opinion is i dont like any off it,
please dont do this to the NZ B/S/E section
thats not very constructiveOriginally Posted by Gly
What dont you like, why dont you like any off it, and what would you change.
I think that whatever you do, new ad's should show up when a user clicks on 'New Posts'.
I never just browse the forums - I sit down, click on 'new posts' and read anything that catches my eye. Then I mark everything as read, and repeat when I come back.
I've never looked at a classified unless it was specifically mentioned in a post - I'm very like a god , I know, but I suspect there are other who do something similar, which means that sellers are missing their market, and we're missing out on some bargains.
I buy more off MLR than I do here, which is a sorry state of affairs - but their for sale part is just another forum section so I see it in the 'new posts'.

i dont like any off it, confusing to look thru,Originally Posted by BraindG
i would change it all back to how it was,
but maybe have a subsection in the BSE,
like Parts wanted, parts fs, cars fs etc....
and i really dont like how theres a classifieds drop down bar...
y cant the old BSE link to it,
its alot more obvious to new comers
i know you've spent alot of time on it, but i just dont think its very user friendly at all.
I agree with Bern on this ...Originally Posted by bernmc

This is one of the things being worked on atm.Originally Posted by White Lightning
Agree with above.
I understand the work thats been put into this new version, and i feel guilty saying it doesnt work...
But the for sale section previously was quite popular. As with many members, I always use the "New Posts" option... its very handy!
there is one thing that you guys dont see, and this was something outlined at the meeting, but if i look at the hits to the site it is quite suprising where people arrive , and its this information i base a majority of descisions on, rather than peoples habits.
I am open to suggestions to improve the classifieds, however i'll not be resorting back to the forum based classifieds.
Is it possible to have the new for sale items included in the new posts?
I think that would help greatly
yup, this is priority numero uno.. and should be live by tonight, ive jsut tested code, and it works.Originally Posted by Axeboy
Great news Barry - I reckon that will help a lotOriginally Posted by BraindG
K, ive implemented a very basic idea for the latest 4 adverts from the classfieds when you click new posts. Ive also made it so that you can be "minimised". I will be formatting it so that it looks more like the new posts bit soon.
Thoughts on this?
I like it a lotOriginally Posted by BraindG
+ while agreeing with Bernmc as to how *I* use the site, I know from my work that the stats don't lie, and that folk's traffic patterns across the site don't always show what you might expect.

I think that'll encourage more use of the Classifieds.Originally Posted by BraindG
lets see how it goes
but i know it already gets alot of hits from the outside i.e. google.
