Hi,
ive just put a wand up for sale on the floor cleaning for sale board and aftEt my listing on the index it has the word PUBLIC . Does anybody know why.
cheers steve
-
Who knows Steve - the whole for sale section is a complete farce.
Things moved on a daily basis from the original for sale section into different sub-sections and what is worse is that you don't get a "new post" symbol on the home page, you have to click onto the sub-section to see if there are any new posts.
Ridiculous idea !
-
I must agree the original system seemed more straightforward and since its changed i dont tend to look at it so much.
-
Yep it's rubbish now
-
what he said ;D
-
i didnt know they'd changed it.. just thought it was crap!
-
never ever been on it since it changed ,
farcical comes to mind

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the feedback, just to let you know that (public) is only viewable to you as the poster on your topic, it basically means that the advert is live! We may change the wording on this one.
Also just to let you know that the moves are to make it easier to find things relevant to you, you can click straight through from the home page to these new child boards. You will see the board name will be in bold if there are new topics in there you haven't read. Also once the board is open you will still see the "new" button on the ones you haven't yet viewed just as in the other boards throughout CIU.
The idea is to have other boards in these sections that benefit members such as supplier offers and business opportunities/leads.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Happy Posting.

FORUM ADMIN - No one likes it. NO ONE! So why not just take it all down and put the old system back again?

Agreed

Why doesn't it come up when you click on the
main heading??
Took me ages to realise you have to click on
the smaller sub title.
Bit of a backward step methinks.

I wish you lot would stop sitting on the fence ;D ;D

It isnt easier, if you are a cleaning company, you have to look on all effing sections.
Lifes too short the masses want the old one back, drop it.
-
It's only easier to the one person who set it up, it's just like when NTL/Virgin (my internet supplier) decide to make changes to something that worked nicely and was easy to use. Over night the only people who knew how to work the damned system was the smart alecs who divised it.
I was a regular to the buy/sell section but when it changed I just gave up looking there.

Forum Admin.
Why not listen to the people who use your forum they are not saying it for nothing it is their opinion you have made a mistake why not do a pole on it.

Perhaps that was the problem...... there were too many wfp poles on there ;D
-
if you read the post in the old section its been done so they can start charging for listing your items for sale, not for ease of use as said in the admin post in this thread!!! ;)
-
sorry back to what admin said, why do I need to know its "LIVE"? With the old system you could see it was live because it was on the board. : ???

Still not clear on what PUBLIC means, you say its only visible to me as the poster, well I already own it and am trying to sell it I want others to see it obviously,, unless I have missed something.

Hi Hilton,
Sorry for the misunderstanding, I meant you are the only one who can see the word "(PUBLIC)" on your topic, if it says "(PUBLIC)" everyone else can see your topic.
The reason for using child boards is to streamline the forum so there aren't loads of boards all the way down the page so you have to scroll down for them. Where the for sale sections were before they were getting missed, since moving them into there repsective market places there has been a lot more activity and postings, the page views for these new section is a lot lot higher now.
This leads to a higher chance of selling the items in here for advertisers and making it easier for all to find.
Thanks for understanding and the feedback no matter how good or bad.

My personal view is opportunities are missed . There could be carpet cleaners thinking about entering window cleaning and might buy equipment on impulse when looking at old layout.
Obviously you want to increase the look rate in order to justify charging. In this instance again I think its a bad policy , while i realize you are seeking a return we have always been against making money from members , ie Carpet Cleaners promoting items to make money out of the members .
Over the years a Great and popular Forum has been developed do not spoil it by over commercialization
To increase the look on For Sale Section all that was required was move it to top of page
