We probably could make the title un-editable after a set time but it would just result in lots of people asking me to edit things for them further down the line. As it is, we very rarely see people edit their title in a way that causes a problem so it’s definitely not worth the cost and time to add that option when we can already undo any issues with those who do delete the title or whatever. We also can’t force people to stick to any particular behaviour without adding it to the T&Cs so technically if people want their advert/data removed we have to allow it anyway, although the only few people I’ve messages to ask if they mind putting a title back always say no problem they didn’t realise. A ‘mark as sold’ button is the way to go. And people might ignore it, but that’s just how some people are. Sorry!

That way round would cause a lot more trouble than the way it is now. I’d be getting several emails a day asking me to edit titles for people. At the moment a mod can reinstate any deleted content but I don’t think I’ve ever had cause to do it myself.

No 😀

Facts are facts but “Thanks, leave voters” kind of language is designed to stir up debate and put across your own opinion on a political issue, especially after our last conversation I hoped you’d refrain from posting. I don’t run this place to debate politics and you are not going to do it here either, so take my advice and leave your political whinging for some other unfortunate website. Everyone else seems to manage.

Pretty sure I made it clear in my last PM that your political views aren’t welcome here, not everyone has the same view as you and we try to avoid politics as you know. I told you to ‘leave it there’ last time so kindly do actually ‘leave it’ 🙄

We plan on adding a prominent 'Mark as sold' button soon, as well as sending reminders to those with an active listing to update their ad if it's inactive for a while. Weirdly these options aren't included in standard functionality and require custom work to implement, like the location field which took us an age to work out how to do!

That was taken before I went class D

See screen grab above for searching in mobile view - it’s possible but not by a drop down you get in full site view.

The ‘Elasticsearch’ is way better but it was causing an issue with the new software so it crashed a few times. I’m pretty sure our server guy fixed it but let me double check before I flip the switch back on!

So you can further filter the results by selecting things like ‘contains all words in the title’ which gives you this in the other items forum: https://www.basschat.co.uk/search/?q="East J Retro Deluxe"&type=forums_topic&nodes=21&updated_after=any&sortby=newest&search_and_or=or&search_in=titles

Oh hold on I need to flip the search back to ‘elastic’ after we had an issue last week. I’ll do that later which will make it better. But when you search you must select a specific forum if you want to do it like that, searching from a forum searches the whole site unless you select it. So click ‘topics’ (I’m trying to rename this ‘forums’) first 👍🏼

Alright that’s enough Brexit Bashing thanks, we try to eliminate politics here so although your original question was valid I think we’re straying off the path here big time.

Nobody knows that, not even me!

Works for UK-UK too

5000EUR cover is 24.99EUR per shipment Cheers I hope you find it useful ped

---- We know that sending a bass around Europe can be an expensive and risky operation. That's why we have reached out to find the best solution for those members who ask advice about sending instruments. It isn't always clear who will insure them or who has the best price. Today we are proud to announce a partnership with Eurosender, who are offering a 10% discount on all EU destination services booked by Basschat members by simply using the code BASSCHAT10 The nice thing about Eurosender is that you can add insurance to cover your instrument (up to 2000EUR) and they don't have any small print excluding musical instruments, as some couriers do. They even help you pack. So why not take advantage of this code next time you sell an item on Basschat - there's no rush, as this offer stands for as long as Basschat remains the number one bass guitar community in Europe - so we think for a very long time! Now get selling, and feel free to offer shipping all over Europe, with confidence. See you on the site, Team Basschat (Small print: Discount applies to any shipment be it guitar, amplifier, effects pedal or accessory. Code also applies for members of guitarchat.co.uk. Insurance above 2000EUR is available but without discount. If your item falls outside the standard shipping size (over 1.75m) It'll tell you and you can enter a request, and you can place the code in the content box. Otherwise the discount code can be entered on the final page for payment. Discount for EU countries only. Basschat offers this deal to its members but has no responsibility for transactions between you and Eurosender. Did you read all that? Have a cup of tea and a sit down, you deserve it. Your hair looks nice today!)

Launching Basschat

Yes I’m very happy with how the forum is growing and how it ‘feels’ these last few months. We’ve got some exciting ‘rewards’ coming next week the first of which I’ll announce tomorrow. Here’s to a bright future! 🍻

Maybe they’ve organised a show for the whingers this weekend 😂

Hi there. Please see point 9 here. Thanks https://www.basschat.co.uk/faq/

If you can't do it yourself, don't go to any sort of shop as they'll either farm it out to someone else or have someone in the shop who is always 'really busy' and will take weeks. Look on Facebook for a local guitar tech, go round and chat to them, most will do it whilst you wait. I found three here in York quite easily when I needed electronics doing.

This. They're amazing - you can adjust the inside to fit any bass perfectly. It comes with a massive long divider which you can stick down to conform to your basses every contour, and that includes leaving more space at the top for the headstock.

Lol guest crazy
