[driftn33]

[Jimbo2000]

[PranK]

yep, working on that

[Jimbo2000]

gone?

[PranK]

dang i forgot to post.

yeah, for a bit, it will be back (with more features, better useability etc) in a few hours.

change the colours.. grey is bad.. but it was looking promising..

Looks like it will give some good structure and things to the trading process. Not sure about the auction idea but some people will be up for that I guess.

[PranK]

Once its back up, it'll be tonnes better. Will be soon.

At the risk of appearing like a loon, but I can find no way to actually POST AND ARTICLE in the new format

[PranK]

top RH corner, like the gallery.

There's nothing there. I'm looking at WtB

No posts since last night, so I can't be the only one!

Hey Dude, is there a login button?

Hey Dude, is there a login button?

Nope. No button. However there is a small text hyperlink that now allows me to login to the classified. BTW the link did not do that before.

d00d - love the site, I couldn't survive without it :love: (and was a tad frustrated last night after trying to fit these f*n turbos again and finding out my o2 sensors were stuffed), so my abruptness was not intentional (and apologise if offence).

But many times do I need to be authenticated? From a useability perspective, why would anyone think they would need to login to the classifieds separately when they are already logged into SAU?

[PranK]

hey mate,

thats completely not supposed to happen - all sections will use the same cookie, so you *should* only have to log in once.. i will look into why you are having to log into the different sections seperately.

And dont worry about abruptness mate, tis cool.

I think a few people are having problems coming to terms with the fact that you need to login in again into the Classifieds section before they can make a post. It took me a while to work it out. A few things I've noticed:

- the layout of the advert needs some work. Once you start putting images in (at least under Safari for Mac OS X) everything starts to get squashed up.

- A feature lost from the main forums is the ability to format the text in the body (or in this case 'Description') of the advert, that was a very handy feature to highlight particular parts of the advert.

- Only 3 images can be uploaded rather than 10 or so for the previous for sale section.

- I much prefer the previous For Sale section as the interface is the same as for the rest of the forums, it's easy to use because most are already used to it, and it seems there's a fair amount of functionality lost, for little (what seems to me) gain.

- The placing of thumbnails is nice, but not too practical as the page scroll will be fairly long in comparison to what people had previously.

- The adverts in the classifieds don't seem to be picked up under the rest of the site search and visa versa.

Any chance we can go back to what we had? It worked well, and wasn't much (if anything) wrong with it. I'm not knocking the intention of it either, so don't get me wrong. The rest of the forums seems to be going ahead in leaps and bounds.

Man I dont know how to word this the best way,

But. I really hate the new section. the old style was MUCH more easyer to navigate and use.

I think the forums have got too many sections and with this addition it takes alot more time and effort to have a look in the classifieds section that i now choose to skip it on my daily browsing.

Sorry, But i just had to get it off my chest.

some people might like the new section, I however stongly dislike it

Thanks anyway

Essential.

[PranK]

hmmm

I definately thought this would be better, its virtually no different to use than the forums and makes finding info about the product easier... its also picked up by the search engines too... (and it cost moulah!! )

Is there anything I can do to make it easier to use? what if i integrated it into the current forums so it lists down the page like them?

a few of the section will be removed soon (actually tonight) so it will be easier to navigate then.

Christian

Christian dont get me wrong, your doing an awsome job.

Maybe you should try intergrating it, i mean it just may work?

the worest that can happen if people not like it, which by the sounds of it the current setup isnt that much better.

Im unsure but are you able to reply to the posts in the classified, a i couldnt find a reply button?

Thanks,

Essential

[PranK]

Yeah, under the info on the top left theres a 'post comment' link.

I'll try to integrate it and see what people think.

Christian

[benm]

I like it, the only thing I don't like however is the login/logout part. If it was integrated then it would be 110%.

Consistent look and feel is very important. If you could integrate all the posts into ONE column, then have a "type" field which could contain say WTB, Auction, Fixed Price, it would have the best of both worlds. The hyperlink then sends the user to the post - which means you have all the parts in one list.

The mouseover brief descriptions were great.
