How long does it take for an advert to be put up on the website?
I'm trying to sell an exhaust and submitted the advert nearly a week ago. it's yet to appear on the site.
Thanks,
Chris

Hmm...
I would expect it would be within 24 hrs - yet another reason for it to be a forum section rather than a website thing
Try pm'ing wayne - i 'think' its his job

So much more user-friendly. Also, people would be far more inclined to post up little odds and sods that could be useful for someone
well if there is enough justification for having it forum based than website based, then people can lobby the committee for change.
You, the membership, can ask for what you would like to see
Commitee:
Consider yourselves lobbied
Seriously though, I think it would be hugely beneficial for a lot of members. It will make posting ads a matter of a few seconds' work, rather than having to wait for them to be approved (which, as proved above, can sometimes take a while). They can also be easliy controlled by the existing forum moderators, and a forum thread makes it very easy for curious members to ask any questions etc.
The existing format is ok for selling cars, but there is a distinct lack of parts for sale, and lets face it, MK1 owners are always after parts
Just my thoughts on the matter, obviously
Yes, a forum based for sale section with some rules applied to assist with the format would be 1,000,000 times better than the current system.
Back on topic... when do I get my advert then? It's still not up there.
Sorry - I wasn't online long enough earlier to write a reply (dodgy internet connection at home. Blame Tiscali... ).
Until we have an actual webmaster to update the site, Wayne is taking care of the website side of things (and I deal with the forum side of it...). However, Wayne has loads of other things to do, so I guess it's difficult to keep up on the sales side all the time.
I'll let him know that you're waiting for your item to go up though.
A Classified area of the Forum definitely gets a thumbs up from me, trust me!
Crikey! The committee are now masters of changing thier minds.Originally Posted by waynestoyotamr2
Wayne - you said originally that the for sale section was to stay website based!
Is it that time of month or something LOL
just to quote a relevant part of the discussion:
Thats some turnaroound of opinion, yet again, WayneOriginally Posted by waynestoyotamr2
Can you maybe decide where to go with this and change it if required then?
The website should have links to the forum sub-sections, not the other way round.
Otherwise you have the cack-handed system of having website admin re-author all ads! Bad system!
