Classified section still boinked!!

[Loki7491]

I know there are other threads, but I fear replying to those will not have the impact or visability to those who can make the changes.

The classified section has been absolutely destroyed over the past few weeks and months of changes. I know it is all done in the interest of improvement but the unintended consequences are extremely frustrating.

1. Renewing adverts is currently impossible. Both for the For Sale and Wanted categories.

2. I personally really like the previous ribbons of new, expiring soon and random adverts. With a good number in each category to scroll through.

3. Showing completed adverts without knowing they are completed steals my joy from me. The heartache is real. Can we remove completed ads from the ribbons? Or at least show them as completed?

Many years ago I was "the guy" behind 2 forums. I know they are a pain in the backside and for anybody doing the background work, I appreciate your own pain and frustrations, and thank you for your continued work.

I agree the sales section really needs to be changed back to the previous incarnation.

 

[Pinovic]

I totally agree with you. I have raised these issues with the forum admin twice and made similar comments on all threads discussing these issues. I haven't seen any changes yet.

Really hope we'll have those beloved features back in place soon, and restore the 'glory' of this forum.

I noticed on mobile you can't select the categories any more either for the classifieds

Admin is aware of the issue(s) and is a work in progress.  Unfortunately this is a free site and using commercial software that does not always get updated or support features we want.

Being worked on. Unfortunately the update broke a lot of stuff.

I'm re-enabling the automatic re-listing for now. Hopefully not for too long. Seems like the lesser of two evils.

 

[Austeyr]

Whilst the auto renewal is a good move, it relisted adverts I had set to completed weeks ago and now I'm marked at the 10 listings per week despite having nothing listed this week at all

It's pulled up adverts from all the way back to last year, haha

Same for most of mine, and I can’t add the one that didn’t get renewed as it says I reached my maximum number of adverts, even though I deleted most of mine. It’s a shambles unfortunately.

 

[Austeyr]

Is there a way I can check when the limit ends? It says weekly but is that like Monday at 00:01am or from the day the tenth advert was listed? 

 

[Jedi_Master]

The limit is rolling, as soon as one advert expires you can replace it with another. 

 

[Austeyr]

One of my adverts has already auto renewed, the other 3 "end" in 3 days and 1 hour so I assume once they're done I can finally post stuff into the classifieds again I miss being able to use a decent website for adverts, usedairsoft and prefired just aren't the same

 

[Lyndication]

UsedAirsoft is pretty dire, even when it's not advertising baby naming or HVAC

 

[Austeyr]

Well it's been a week since my adverts got auto renewed (Even the completed ones) and I still can't list anything in the classifieds

Guys, are you able to completely delete your old completed ads ?, do you have any drop down menu's that give you your own moderation options ?

I ask as if I go on them, being a mod I probably have a slightly different options menu.

While deleting them entirely isn't ideal, it will hopefully open up spaces for your new adverts ?

Let me know what you see ?

All of my old ads have been deleted since last week when they was renewed:

This is what I see when I go onto my profile > My Adverts

Deleted by you ?, & are those you've shown still live/current ?

 

[Austeyr]

Correct, the ones still showing are active. The two handguards are super old listings that were auto renewed which previously was marked as "Incomplete" because I couldn't auto-renew them

I deleted I believe:

Two wanted adverts

Three adverts set as "Incomplete"

and two completed 

 

[Tackle]

For the time being then that's gonna have to be the way to go, members can delete some of their old ads to make way for new, at least until the software issues are sorted.

Reccomend people get rid of their oldest ads first, as more recent stuff could be subject to disputes etc.

Still getting hit with the 10 limit despite not having 10 things listed I'll try again tomorrow
