Hey folks,
So let me start this out and say that I thought something was one way and in the end it was another. I thought we had some integration with the sales area working and in fact it wasn't but now is....
This could get confusing so let me try to define a couple of things.....
1. When I say classifieds in the forum I mean this place... CLICK HERE
2. When I say the classifieds I mean this place.... CLICK HERE
The new classifieds section allows us to manage ads a lot easier and it also provides more functionality to the members. A couple of the features that you can use...
1. All of your ads are managed in your account.
2. Others can search for other things you have for sale.
3. You can sell using paypal directly.
4. You can add in shipping seperately.
5. You can delete and edit your own ads.
6. Members can see defined topic areas, Bikes for sale, parts, wanted, mods you name it. (If there is an area that you think we need just let me know).
7. You can set a checkbox that will make sure you get notified anytime a comment or question is placed on your ad.
We started this many months ago, maybe as far as a year. We performed an upgrade to the software and when that happened the integration stopped working. I was unaware of this until just recently, I made some changes and now it is working again.
To place an ad takes just a few seconds, I have timed a few times and I can create a new ad in about 60 seconds. It isn't hard just different, I am going to do a quick tutorial on how to place an ad so that you aren't left out there by yourself.
Here is how it works.....
You go into "the classifieds" and place your add, almost as soon as you click the submit button your ad is integrated into the forum section called "From the classifieds section", this is going to be a read only forum. This thread will show up in the new post so that people are notified the first time your sale is added. When you delete your ad from "The classifieds" section it removes it from the forum too.
the plan is this.....
One week from today we will be placing the forum classifieds as read only, this means that if you have something there for sale then people will still be able to see it but no one will be able to respond to it and you won't be able to add any new sales there unless you go through "The Classifieds" and the thread is started by the system automatically. So if you have an ad there take a few minutes and go put your sale in the new location, you will also see that there is a wanted section for those that are wanting parts, this is a place that will make it easy for our advertisers to see folks that are needing parts....
Please help us with this and give it a try....
let me know what you need and I will do what I can to help...
CAp....
