You got banned for this

 

Wow... missed that one. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But back to on topic. So once again, whats the deal with featured ads? I noticed that Skibs 240 is no longer such so Im assuming its something that was being tested and we wont use it?

I'd like to neg rep the new system, but, I can't, and won't.

 

Yep, to a degree it sucks compared to the old system, but, unless any of us are running this site and paying the costs associated with what itvtakes to do so, including, dealing with the spambots and other inherent problems, I think it's time to "suck it up" and put up with the changes.

 

As far as "brown nosing to the mods", I'd love to, but every time I try to stick my head in the mods nether regions I find it butting against the soles of the feet of people like 420n620.

and i have positive feedback.

Not even important. Lots of people (including me) get positive feedback from posting pictures. Positive feedback don't mean jack now that there's no neg rep (not that I'm saying we should bring it back...).

 

A warning would have been nice, but this is a classifieds thread. Not a thread on whining about being banned.

 

 

 

 

Was the time-limit adjusted for editing for sale threads? If not, it would be impossible to mark items sold in a group thread.

If you were to post a picture of boobs everyday your positive feedback would be as high as Jrock. The positive feedback sadly means absolutely nothing now.

Lets just change it..... they can just deal with it.

 

You Fuckers!

I just spent an hour trying to post some.shit... so I went from curious and not having my questions address, to furious that you would change MY ratsun to suit YOUR agenda....

Happy mother fuckers day. You suck. Negs for all of you.

Negs for me too.

It's new, many members haven't found it. I looked just now and there has to be 60+ posts.

I know that pretty soon the old section will be deleted, but would it be possible to leave the sections there for a while with a single post in each one alerting/directing people to the new classifieds section?

Well it's over now.... and best forgotten. According to the above post if we had sent a reason it would have been incorrect so the correct reason now is a temp ban for leaving your computer available to non member shenanigans.

As I understand it the old section will be allowed to 'wind down' and then be closed. It might be wise to transfer your post to the 'new' CLASSIFIEDS.

If any ratsun member has anything posted in the old classified section that you want to save, you need to go there and copy it and save it on your computer, that section will be gone soon, lost forever.

 

 

That....is not good.

There is a lot of info there...pics of rare parts,  fitment of stock parts, prices (for comparison)...etc...etc...etc.

Bit of a waste.....

Looks like featured is a mod only thing right now. The  time allotment is 26 or so days, vs us regular users at 13 days. looks like it stays up at the top too, vs sliding down while others get posted.  Looks like its being tested (or abused) at the moment.  Pays to be a mod I suppose? 

 

 

What I think... Is right now only mods have power to make something featured. The featured part, is probably something us normal users can pay to have our ad on top and for longer.  IDK if the new classifieds is heading in that direction now or not, but very unlikely if so.

 

That featured ad should probably be removed at some point and a regular ad thrown up :poke:

I'm trying my best to give this new format a shot that was abruptly switched over...

So here's a how to I spend some time on (really easy but I'm guessing many won't know the new ads exist ... in fact I bet only sellers do !!! )

Saving all of my 25-30+ classifieds (more like 40 lol) and trying...

Don't have anything proper to state about the "featured" thing since we're a community ... might as well sell on ebay really ... :-/

 

It wouldn't be a bad move to un-lock the old classifieds... then how to's and information posted at the top with warnings for a transition period for the classifieds honestly if we're going to keep to this new system.

 

so here's a how-to I spent a bit of time to kick up "awareness" of the system more than how to use it..

 

(05/12/13)

EDIT : I have a picture backwards below and will fix later :rolleyes:

 

Since it's been announced Ratsun is changing classified direction and format I decided to copy and save my old ads.

 

I'd highly recommend you do the following as well for when the old classifieds are made to walk the plank.

*(1) Go to your old for sale/wanted to buy/etc classified ads and save them to (2) different sources on your thumbdrive and or computer.

*(2) Continue to contact members from the old classifieds ads as well as new classifieds and PM/Message them since we're not able to respond or reply. At least until they are deleted.

*(3) Take time out of your day to PM a couple members about the new classifieds even if it's random :)

*(4) Familiarize your-self with the New Classifieds.

*(5) Re-post your classified(s) in small spurts (1-2 at a time maybe ?)

 

I have 25-30+ classifieds so I thought I'd post this for those who are more visual learners or simply don't know where to find them since questions and reply's to my old ads have ceased to exist.

It looks to be we're on a transition period for old and new classifieds.

 

Start by clicking on the "NEW" classifieds button located towards the top left hand of the screen.

The green arrows in the picture are pointing straight at it.

1_zps1cb1dcb3.png

 

This is the screenshot you will see after clicking the button mentioned above.

2_zpsc60ff68e.png

^^^ referring and looking at the picture above.

There are now time-limits on the classified ads which seem to work out to 14-days until expired.

Notice on the top left hand side (orange square) highlighting the different categories to search in the classifieds.

Price shows up directly before clicking on the ad (circled in green and in green lettering).

Time left on the ad and views are counted on the right hand side of the screen.

If you wish to make a for-sale or wanted classified look to the top right corner of the screen and click "Add an Advert" (green arrows pointing towards the button in the picture above.)

 

After clicking the "Add an Advert" ..this screen pops up in front of you.

3_zps592aea61.png

Add any pictures by upload or attach at this point if you wish (circled in black in the picture below).

You can also still drop photobucket photos in the main text body if you wish to do it that way ( I do this as well ).

9_zpsc24f9354.png

4_zps2f4e0aae.png

In this case I choose the category "drivetrain" (edit: opps needs to be cooling ... )

Select a category by clicking you wish to post an ad on the bar that the green arrows are pointing towards , then click "continue" (circled in red).

 

This screen pops up next after clicking "continue"

5_zps34031d01.png

scrolling down a bit further on the same screen shows this...

8mod_zps85c3a0d9.png

Now that you've reviewed the above 2 pictures (which we are still talking about)

Notice you can go back and change a category at this point if you wish (circled in green in pic above.)

Everything circled in green is an option = (exception "listing price" seen above in the picture)

*Phone Number

*Email Address

Everything circled in red or orange is mandatory =

*Item Name

*Description

*Country

*State or Province

*City

*Price

*Advert Type

 

^^^ Once satisfied with any information , pictures , prices , contact information and everything seems correct after a double check click the "Add Advert" button.

 

 

This picture below is the resulting ad after you click "Add Advert" button.

10_zps6406ec80.png

Again talking about as well as referring to the above picture ^^^

 

The Title , Price and Time left are all circled in Green.

 

Just below those ^^^ Is a big red arrow pointing to 3 sub-categories on the left hand side

= (Overview , Additional info , Questions)

Overview = Description with pictures typically

Additional Info = Location and Country info,

Questions = Just that Questions... where you can ask them !

 

The orange circle indicates a "for sale" classified.

As you look to the top right corner of the screen notice the (3) options all circled in green to Edit an Advertisement , Close an Advertisement , or Watch an Advertisement.

Two green arrows pointing the right just below the (3) options discussed above allow you to see the sellers other items , and seller name history.

 

In the bottom right hand corner is the "report" button that is circled in green !

In this case I will be using this as I posted a cooling product that should be in the cooling category and not the drivetrain category.

 

Have fun and enjoy !

 

Hope I was clear enough on this
