Classified Adverts Rules

Anonymous Ads & Abuse
You must be registered on this forum to post ads (your current registration/login is fine) - Anonomous ads cannot be posted sorry. Abusers of the Classifieds section, including false ads or inappropriate comments will be banned.

Not Enough Categories?
If you want to suggest new Ad categories, please do so.

How long are the Ads up, and how do I renew?
Ads are up by default for 2 months. You will get a reminder by email automatically when you ad is expiring, which will give you the opportunity to renew (I'm not confident this part is all working correctly yet, so YMMV & let me know fo problems). If you sell the item in the mean time, just go in and edit you ad by clicking the 'sold' button.

Limits on advertising
Members have no limit to the number of advertisements they may post, but please don't get too carried away.

Commercial Adverts
Commercial adverts are allowed, but you MUST click the 'Trade' button when posting rather than 'Private'. The administrator reserves the right to limit or remove ads from commercial advertisers - if you are unsure, please contact the Admins.

Can I get Ads via email?
Yes! If you go to 'My Email Lists' you'll notice there is a list called 'Classifieds Announcements'. If you subscribe to this, all newly posted ads will be emailed to you as soon as they appear!

What about RSS Feeds?
Yes! On the main Advert's page there is an Orange Icon marked RSS 2.0. This can be subscribed to with a feed reader or live bookmark on your browser, and you can have a live feed of all the new adverts.

This will probably all go in the FAQ section eventually...

Thanks

Sorry... I've already found a bug that means that means some browsers are not keeping the login details - which means it may log you out before you get to post an ad... I'll fix asap.

False alarm, it was just to do with my paranoid Proxy configuration... :)

There are still a few glitches & usability changes needed, but I'll work on them over the next week or so.

Cheers

A Virtual Beer to someone who actually places the first Classifieds Ad!
I'm dying to know if it will actually work for someone other than me.

It has almost been a full day now... Go on, I'm sure someone has
something to sell and wants to be the Guinea Pig...!

yea - it is not ideal sorry, for a number of 'not easily changed'
reasons - I made a couple of tweaks today, but it could be a while
before you get some items emailed to you

I'm planning a move to my own server which would speed up things a lot,
but it will be a slow process as I am pretty busy with other stuff at
the mo.

I'll run some more tests and see if the changes I've made today have
done anything.

Cheers (and that Beer...)

OK there were some minor issues meaning most people couldn't subscribe to get ads via email.

To get all ads emailed to you, go to the 'My Email Lists' tab (you need to be logged in) and subscribe to the 'Classified Announcements' List.

Cheers
