andydye Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 [quote name='ped' timestamp='1353341965' post='1873909'] Yeah, still, our hope is that people will take advantage of the gallery view option when the upload system is ready. We'll see how it goes - if nobody uses it then we'll have to re-think how the forum is financed. [/quote] Gallery view...that'd be the bit that's not working then cos I didn't see that option in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] That's right. I've disabled it for the time being. It'll cost £1.75 and your advert will have a picture rather than a grey box in the forum index. It'll help people see what's for sale and help people shift their items! There were some preview links in post #1 but now the test site has closed so they don't work.

andydye Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 There's also no option to delete/withdraw a listing once it's posted There's a chance this might make for misleading stats in the future when you say how many items have sold compared to how many donations have been received Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can filter out sold items using the option on the menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 A delete button would be a great loss. It's very handy to be able to view old For Sale threads in the current forum when you're trying to price an item (for sale or purchase). I'm also guessing that the picture on the forum listings isn't showing up because the picture upload facility doesn't work. An option to make it all smaller would be an improvement: currently on my laptop I can see about 10 listings on the old forum, but only 3 or 4 on the new one.

I don't think we can make it any smaller; I feel the image preview size is about right at the moment anyway. Perhaps you could try a new browser or play with some settings. It's very hard making a site work visually with the massive plethora of hardware available, but most of the modern updates are optimised for modern hardware so as such we're left little choice.

andydye Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Maybe a withdrawn button rather than a delete one? Mods periodically delete completed threads anyway doncha :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phsycoandy Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Aswell as the aforementioned malware issue it would appear listing in either the old forum for sale forum or the new classifieds section is not working. Sorry, not sure whether its helpful or not to keep posting problems as you're probably upto your ears in it. The £1.75 btw seems reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
