NOT a problem - THANKS for helping him!

I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with the classified's...we'll try to get them fixed shortly, or we could try the "marketplace" idea...

What say ye?

I wouldn't mind seeing a "Marketplace" sticky. When the item is sold, the seller could note it his post.

A market place sticky is a good idea, so long as some basic rules are followed, ie the title/post heading is changed to SOLD when the item sells. Also suggest a format such as username <at> isp <dot> com (<dot> au/uk/etc) for email addresses, to avoid them being trolled and used for spam.
I would go further and say no 'make me an offer' lines. A price should be stated, even if it is 'ono' be used.
Ideally a photo or links to same.

Just use PM's and eliminate the hassle of an email address.

Possibly, but that eliminates those who are not logged in users of the board, ie those with no Hostboard account, which is a few, as if you do a Google search for Altec, this board often comes up.

If I'm advertising here, I'm specifically making my items available to those people that I "know". If I want to advertise to everyone, I'll use ebay.

Good thinkin'.

(and that would be "OBO" in the USA)

As for colors - Steven says the software allows for customizing, so we'll work on that next week.

We'll also try the "Marketplace" idea then, too....

Thanks for your input!

Todd let me know if you would like me to work on it.Steven said as a Super Moderator I have acess to the Hostboard Control Panel.If you want me to look into it let me know.All changes can revert back to default if no one likes it.

@ Abe I'm editing the email address for your friends Safety.We don't want him to get slammed with SPAM ! Then he would have to sort through to find the legit inquires.These forums are crawling with Bot Spiders and will come up in Google search to anyone.I think he should take the time to join and use the PM's, but that's his decision.
