Fred Miranda Offline Admin Upload & Sell: On
|
Hi everyone,
I am happy to announce a new system I am implementing for the Buy & Sell boards.
NOTE: This new system will only work for "New Posts". Threads posted before this change will work the same way as before.
The next time you post, you will notice a new form to use when posting or editing your thread. My hope is that this form will assist with consistency and retrieval of information. It will add clarity by providing input options for: Item name, description, price, Method of payment, condition, shipping instructions, etc. See below how the "New Post" looks:

With this new system, you will also see three easily identifiable icons in front of the subject on the "viewboard". (Right now, most of the icons are grayed out because the system just went live.) These icons will display for 24 hours to highlight features for "new listing","price reduced", and "listing updated".

No action is required by you to make the icon appear since we have automated this through our code. For example, if you reduce the price of your item on the listing post, a "reduced" icon will automatically appear on viewboard for 24 hours.
This new system will help members quickly scan the board to see the most recent status of all listings. On viewboard, in addition to the icons, sold items will have the subject line grayed out, pending items will be shown in italic, and withdrawn topics will have a strike through the subject line.
Also, to improve security, I have removed the default "email button" from all posts. It will not appear unless you edit your profile and choose to show it.

Only Upload and Sell members have access to see the email button once you display it. This change was made to prevent unsolicited offers and spam from being emailed to members.
Below are some examples to help illustrate how the new system works.
All the best,
Fred
