Question to the Moderators and members of our Altec Family!

.....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.

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.

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?

Steven says he'll have to buy a software upgrade to get the classified section to work. I think Cradeldorf's suggestion to have a "sticky" classified thread is a winner.

Good point, although a motivated buyer would take the few minutes to join just to enable him to send a PM. However, if he's not that motivated, an (encrypted) email address would make it easier for him.

If I sell any gear on the thread, I'll try to make it as easy as possible for buyers. I'll be sure to include my email address, home phone number, bank account number and bank routing number, social security number, and shoe size! (kidding)

I have a question concerning the colors.

Why not change the blue to green. DARK GREEN ,MEDIUM GREEN AND LIGHT GREEN.

Good thinkin'.

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

[Todd W. White]

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!

[Old Guy]

When the item is sold, the seller could note it his post.

In retrospect like that better than deleting the ad...

[cradeldorf]

I agree I would like to see the ads stay too, It's nice to have them to reference, but at the same time the pictures will be taking up server space. I'm not sure if that would be a concern or not.

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.

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.
