Hi All

In an attempt to continually improve the additional services for subscribers, we have added a new feature for those subscribing to the For Sale section and for Plus Members..

Next to subscribers posts (under their username) is a tag saying "MY FOR SALE ITEMS".

If you click that link you are given the categorised latest items that person has for sale.

All the best

Simon

 

So Simon how does it work?

Does it automatically pop up when you post

 

Will we be able to edit?

Or do you still have the terzo up for grabs?

No point in showing old items is there?

 

Nice feature - but I've not had anything for sale for ages...

Is it possible to make the link only appear if that user has actually posted a FS or Wanted ad in the last couple of weeks? There will be a lot of dead links to ads that have long since expired otherwise.

Just my €0.02...

 

Ditto the above

All my items are long since sold

 

OK, let's set it so that they are only threads within the last 6 weeks?

That way it should cover just about everything

Cheers

Simon

 

Good thinking Batman

 

Yup good feature chappy - 6 week limit would be a sensible step

 

Its Good (very good) Alan.

 

Nice feature!

 

Nice one Webby, that's a billion times better with the 6 week fing.

 

 

Just seen that on my sig.

VERY NICE

great idea lol

 

A great idea! But can we please have the facility to switch them off if we've nothing on sale. Not only will it make the forums look better, but it will mean that only members with items to sell will appear on the forums and so make the feature more useful

 

Agree with you Neil.

 

Agreed - a link that brings up a window showing that there's nothing FS isn't really much better than one that brings up a load of expired ads.

I guess the problem is knowing what the results of a search in the FS/Wanted forums would be before deciding whether to display the link or not. The server doesn't want to have to do a search of every Plus member's FS/Wanted ads every time a post is displayed.

Perhaps if it can't be switched on and off automatically, there could be a setting in each member's CP to say whether they have something currently for sale or not?

 

Agree with the above.

 

Hi Guys

Making it automatic would be a right pain, and difficult to manage, but we can make it switch on and offable!

We'll work on that over the next few days.

Cheers

Simon

 

 

Switch on and offable would be perfect

 

Offable ?? Isn't that sheeps guts and kidneys and stuff ?


David API

 

yeah, but it would have taken too long to type "switch on and sheep guts and kidneys and stuff"

 

Hey !! you're s'posed to be workin', get back to it or l'll tell DR you're skivin'. I dunno, sunbathing in Mehico when we're freezin' our butts off.

No sign of ya motor, anything I should know?

David

 

LOL

Sorry David, had a bit of a delay (I bet you're really shocked). I'll try to call tomorrow.

Cheers

Simon

 

could be auto-onnable (that's never a word) whenever we post something in for sale

Then it'd just be the members job to off-it (nor that) if they're not likely to sell something in future

But it's a good idea (i didn't know Ian was selling a corsa - not that I want one )

 

Hi All

The feature has now been set to switch on/off-able with a setting in your user profile options.

I'll have a think about making it switch on automatically, but I hope this will tide you over

All the best

Simon

 

Well done Simon
