Freebird Posted November 4, 2014 #1 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Well, almost ready. You can use them now. You may not like it at first but it does offer some things that the old ones didn't. Member vendors are not setup yet. If you are a member vendor, you need to let me know if you want an area setup for your stuff. I put all our member vendors in their before and most never posted anything. Please let me know here or in a PM if you want to be included. To post in the classifieds, there are a couple of things you have to do. First of all, click on the Classifieds tab on the menu bar. When that page opens, find "user control panel" in the menu bar. You must fill out the "addresses" information. If you plan to accept PayPal, you need to put your paypal email address in "payment setup". Neither of those things are visible to anybody except for you. If you plan to put in a separate price for shipping, you need to click on the shipping options tab and enter the carrier...UPA, FEDEX, whatever and the cost for the shipping. That should get you started. Ask questions here if you have any. Edited November 4, 2014 by Freebird
M61A1MECH Posted November 4, 2014 #2 Posted November 4, 2014 Don, I would like to be in the member vendors section.
djh3 Posted November 4, 2014 #4 Posted November 4, 2014 Don I would like to also be added. I have the By-pass relays for the 2nd gen. I have an ad listed somewhere in the for sale stuff. But as I found out on the first one when a person bought it, the ad went away. Hmm OK just looked, I did have a listing in 2nd gen parts but its not there anymore.
Freebird Posted November 4, 2014 Author #5 Posted November 4, 2014 Yes, any ads posted before last night are gone. That's why I told everybody to hold off on going to the trouble. I just added you to the "Member Vendors" category. One thing that this one allows is for you to list a quantity of the same item. There will be a bit of a learning curve but I think it will be better once people get used to it. Gotta get to work now. Literally got NO sleep last night. There was a bug in the new classifieds that were giving me a database error. Finally got it all wrapped up about 20 minutes ago. Gonna be a long day.
Freebird Posted November 4, 2014 Author #6 Posted November 4, 2014 Hey folks, do me a favor. Poke your head into the new classifieds and see if you think they are going to be ok or not. I've got mixed feeling about them. Seems more complicated than it should be. I've worked through it all and place an ad but there is a bit of a learning curve to them. Before we go too long with it, I would like your opinion If you liked what we had before better, I can get the newest version of it instead.
Carbon_One Posted November 4, 2014 #7 Posted November 4, 2014 Add me to the Vendors list as well. Get some rest Don. No reason to endanger your health over this stuff. We'll get there in due time. Larry
Freebird Posted November 4, 2014 Author #8 Posted November 4, 2014 I've already added you Larry. Still though, you guys try to at least post one test ad and see if this is going to do it. I would rather blow it up and start over before everybody has their ads posted again.
Carbon_One Posted November 4, 2014 #9 Posted November 4, 2014 Just added 2 items so we'll see how it goes. Personally I didn't find the process difficult, maybe a few more steps but otherwise ok. Like anything in life change takes time to become familiar with features. Larry

Like anything in life change takes time to become familiar with features. It actually took me more time to find my pics than to fill in the blanks. Larry
Freebird Posted November 5, 2014 Author #11 Posted November 5, 2014 OK folks....I'm just not happy with the classifieds. They seem to complicated for the casual user. So I just purchased the newest version of the PhotoClassifieds software that we have used for years. Hopefully some of the features that I felt were missing in the old version have been added. I know that at least some of them have. So, I am waiting for the email now that tells me it has been processed and I can download the software. Hopefully that will happen today and I can get busy on it tonight. This means of course that your ads will have to be re-created again. I'm really sorry about that but I think we will be better off in the long run. Going to turn off the classifieds for now so that others don't waste their time creating new ads.
dingy Posted November 5, 2014 #12 Posted November 5, 2014 Don, I would like to be in the member vendors section also. Gary
