ped Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks, that's great - perhaps you'll find the 'sell anything' forum once it's here. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 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.

lurksalot Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Its Ok I checked my account and it is a one off payment not a 'subscription' all is OK . The wording on the receipt got me interested as the product type stated ' subscription : yearly ' but I guess that is how you have described the payment , and not the application of the Paypal subscription repeat pay method . scare over , sorry to have put you out.

ped Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 No problem at all, I just confirmed the same with our developer. We may give the option to do either in the future. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 There are various items for sale which when I try to view them, I get this: [#10340 You do not have permission to view this topic.] Is it now necessary to subscribe to view certain items, or is it a glitch, or what?

Jigster Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 sure - altho [size=4]I'm hard pressed to think what markets have rules, the absence of which lead to chaos - stockmarket, fruit, vegetable market etc - the only abiding rule seems to be the rule of investment - which you'd tend NOT to make unless you're assured of getting the best out of your investment.[/size] [size=4] [/size][size=4]I'm being very pedantic, and I did say 'Ok', cos no one bass player is bigger than BC [/size][size=4] [/size][size=4] [/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigster Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 that's what I'm saying. WOT said there'd be chaos [i]without[/i] any rules - - there are/were/have been/ no rules in the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that we try to run BassChat in a way that the vast majority of people like, a considered consensus if you like. Within reason, we try to give people what they want - the left handed bassists wanted a specific forum for them to advertise basses in - they're getting it, members wanted to be able to sell non musical stuff here on BC - it's coming. The bump rule was bought in after complaints from members and a quick search through the forums show that it has been discussed quite a few times over the years, the consensus still considers it to be a good thing.
