Hi Garey, best of luck with the new position and thanks for being our host in Germany last year. Another interesting chapter in your colourful life story. Cheers

Hi, yes I believe Hamster has found the issue and it's currently 5th job on the list to be fixed. Should get round to it this week, hopefully. Cheers ped

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1362863003' post='2005618'] I already made a post asking about a lefty thread and got no replies. There should at least be a lefty thread for general discussion. Ive given up hope. [/quote] We'll just do whatever you want us to do

No problem at all, I just confirmed the same with our developer. We may give the option to do either in the future. Cheers

[color=#333333]A little more downtime planned for Thursday, please spread the word and tell people to grab email details for sales if needed. [/color] [color=#333333]We have to do this on the live site because we are installing another payment gateway that has to be tested on the live site by the providers.[/color] If they are satisfied by the installation there will be a little more downtime planned on Tuesday 26th when it's activated. Hopefully after that we should be through with the modifications! [color=#333333]Thanks for your understanding through the downtime.[/color]

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1362825323' post='2005209'] Ped , just a quicky , but worth mentioning as it caused a ruck of headaches on another forum I used to use , at it might be me , but.. Have we actually signed up for a renewing subscription that will come out every year? It currently doesn't bother me if I have , but , if someone gets taken by surprise this time next year it will cause mayhem if it causes umbrage and they request a refund etc etc It is definately worth knocking the subscription idea on the head and making sure those signed up get it altered , then generate an auto renewal reminder , it will help keep it cleaner . [/quote] Hi, thanks for this - I believe it's simply a years access and after a year you'll simply pay again if inclined to. I'll double check though, thanks.

Thanks, that's great - perhaps you'll find the 'sell anything' forum once it's here. Cheers

[quote name='GazWills' timestamp='1362780082' post='2004857'] good work FYI trying to amend the for sale price of a pedal I listed the other day, and the new marketplace doesn't seem to let you change the for sale price which appears at the top of the FS thread... [/quote] Hi Gaz Cheers for that - and yes we planned on changing that tomorrow. Thanks ped

Hi chaps Hamster has done the honours and there's a lefty subsection nestled under 'basses for sale' - it's invisible at the moment as we need to modify it tomorrow a little more. A 'lefty' chat thread elsewhere as dood suggests is also a good shout. Cheers ped

Cheers Norris

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362653947' post='2002717'] You mean so I can be ignored more easily, perhaps..? [/quote] Anyone with long hair

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362653287' post='2002704'] Fine with me - as a 'righty' I think 'lefties' are weird, but that doesn't mean we can just ignore them, does it..? * hides in cupboard under stairs * [/quote] Perhaps an extension to the 'ignore' function is in order

[quote name='throwoff' timestamp='1362653195' post='2002701'] A lefty subforum would be brilliant, I intend to sell a cab on here in the coming weeks and would be happy to pay the 20 quid here than ebay fees of more. A place for lefty sales adds would be great and make me feel even more happy here than I already am. [/quote] OK thanks for that, I'll fly it up the flag pole and see what the others think. Ideally 'tagging' will catch on which will help everyone find what they're looking for, so we may also look at highlighting that field when people list, to suggest the kinds of tags they should put and how they'll help people find items. Thanks for bearing with us, I know it's not 100% perfect yet, however I feel we've arrived at a very comfortable half-way-house and can now rest up and plan how to further refine the system to make it even better. Cheers ped

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362651369' post='2002658'] Or make it a requirement to include 'LEFTY' in the FS thread title to make it searchable? [/quote] Yeah, one of the future developments we're planning (when we can afford it) is to have some tickboxes for things like number of strings, manufacturer and RH/LH etc to help with search indexing. I'm sorry the thread got closed, I wouldn't have minded leaving it open but it would be harder to moderate as it was already being subverted by someone listing there rather than on the forum. Perhaps a 'lefty' subforum might work, what do you think?

Yep, top folk at Rotosound http://blog.basschat.co.uk/basschat-visits-rotosound/

Hi, I'll speak to our dev and see. Probably best to post an update on the thread with reduced price. Perhaps edit title or first post. Cheers for the comments/support

[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1362595891' post='2001932'] I think that the making a charge for selling was inevitable really and I've no problem with paying if it means that the Forum keeps going. A question which I thought somebody else would have thrown in by now - what about people who put things up for trade only?? Is there going to be a charge for that? I think that the 4% statistic is a bit misleading too - how many of the 25,000 or so members are actually active - there are lots of members who haven't posted in years. [/quote] Hi, The 4% statistic was based upon users active in the marketplace over a recent period (I forget exactly) but bearing in mind how I emailed every single person who donated individually (and still do), I wasn't very busy! As for trade items, users state a trade value instead of a price. This will be made a little clearer in the next update when you post a listing. Cheers for the support ped

Thanks guys yes one of the first things we plan on doing is upgrading the mobile app a bit. I was going to 'promote' the new payment section a bit but actually I'm leaving it to naturally tick over to give a more realistic idea of how it will run.
