    No real emperical data, sorry. The new ad system cost me nearly $1,500 to build and probably 80+ hours of fun. So, I'll probably stick with the new one for a bit. If you let me know how to improve it, I am all ears. The old classifieds did bring in more banner ad money though... for that reason I might just go back. ha I really encourage you to try using the new site a bit more if you can. I know it's something new, but, it has a lot more features that give you the ability to sell products easier. If you have a lot of products, it can also be set up to give you a dedicate page (URL) with your stuff listed. My favorite feature is the "save as PDF" where you can save all of your favorite ads to PDF files for printing or saving later on. , I had to read that one a few times to get what you meant... hahaha, funny as hell after you know what a tranny is (not the car part)
  3. Ok, so you're using the new Classifieds and the ad worked. You sold it! Great!! However, now you want to delete your ad, right? Well, you could just simply edit the ad and rename it to (SOLD). However, if you want the ad to go away, here's how you can do it. Log into your account, then head over to "my ads" from the left menu. After clicking, you'll see a list of your ads. Now, take a look at the listing, and you should see a small "X" in the upper right of the ad (see screenshot). Click it, and the ad will POOF, vanish. Have fun.

    A great episode of Jay Leno's garage showing off the 240z. Notice a few times he mentions clues into a 240z in 2014? He also asks Shiro Nakamura directly if a new 240z is coming out soon. Watch it and find out what happens!! ....

    Hi all, just wanted to let you know that more sugar-scoop logos coming soon.... stay tuned.
  11. Mike posted a post in a topic in Open Chit Chat
    Hi guys, yes you caught me as we are putting together our new branding package for the club. I worked with my favorite designer to come up with a logo that captures one of the most famous parts of the Z-car (my favorite), the headlight. You can see a slight outline of the headlight with the "bloodshot" eye in the middle. We are still working on variations of the logo right now and you can see a few of those reflected on the main page in our family pictures. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new logo ideas as we explore more of them over the next few months. -- Mike PS: If you have ideas, please feel free to submit your graphic designs to this thread. I would love to see what some of you think we should use as our new 'refreshed' look for the next generation of Z heads... Only requirement is the headlight scoop must be integrated into your design.

    Ok, thanks for your patience !! All fixed up now. The problem was a result of the "bridge" between ClassicZcars.com and DatsunClassifieds.com . Thanks goes out to Will for helping me test this tonight over the phone. I'll be looking at the search utility over the weekend. But, if you had problems logging in, it's all fixed!

    You and me both!! j/k I guess you could just run the search again... But, it's not a bad idea I'll see if I can add a link to the listing to go back to a sort by date... Oh, this is a new one to me. Let me see if there's a way to force it to date on a per user basis. Do you have an option for that in your user settings? Yea, it's a paid upgrade, I think it's a buck fifty to put your ad on top. I selected a few of the old ones and gave them free upgrades, which is why you see them listed as featured ads. I've been considering the removal of "Featured Ads" actually... there is not going to be enough revenue to justify the confusion behind it...... hmm... Yes... no problem! I'm glad we can provide a service like this. It's been fun programming it anyway... I apprecite your interaction and constructive criticism and will be making a few changes to http://datsunclassifieds.com over the next few days.. m

    Your welcome. By default all search results are sorted by posting date, newest first. However, the "Featured" ads are always shown first in the list (highlighted with a yellowish background). Then standard listings are shown... I removed the map until we get more posts. The problem is our old software didn't have a location field so none of the legacy ads were showing up on the map. m

    az240z, it looks like there are a limited number of users who cannot log in for some reason. I'm looking into the database to see why this is the case.... It seems to be a problem for some of the imported users. I'm still trying to find out why it's only a select few of the users.
  16. Mike posted a post in a topic in Open Discussions
    Yes, me. I put the entire new classified system together in my free time. FYI, I'm reading the thread and will take every recommendation into consideration. I especially like the comments about how to make the classifieds easier to use. Usability isn't always the top priority when trying to make something work but it was a major consideration when putting this together. Layout, process, search results, organization is all pretty flexible.

    I think you mean the new classifieds are SICK!!

    Hi Taz, do you like the mobile version? I've been considering removing it because I don't like using it on my iPad. I didn't realize some users may want to use it on their phones... Let me know what you think. It doesn't take me any extra time to keep it online because it's a simple flag in my code.
  19. Hey E, how is the little roadster I sold you coming along? We had a brief discussion over the summer but I want to see some pics man.. how's she doin? m

    Jerry, sounds a lot like something in the transmission to me. Did you inspect all of the gears or have the transmission rebuilt? m
  21. Nice addition to the family, Mitchell. I liked the X6 body style when they were first introduced. Black is definitely the way to go...

    Spoken like a true artist... keep us posted on your progress... Do you need any more measurements?

    OJ, I merged the two threads about your cars ("am I sick" and "updated pictures") into this one. Thanks, Mike

    Congrats Julio!! I like the idea of creating the Z-Masons like Blue suggested a few months ago. We are all here for each other and our Z family certainly keeps me going when I need it. Of course that's when I'm not moderating posts. .

    I'd say she is probably going to be with similar daily drivers in the same condition. You can use ebay as a basis because there are a lot of z's to look at. But I'd also take a look at Craigslist in CA. CA has the most Z's by far and you'll get a good idea of what other people are looking at if they are shopping. You can also see some pretty nice examples at out classifieds site here: http://datsunclassifieds.com Just guessing, based on the photos and no hidden problems, she looks to me about 5k-range. Above that we would have to see more detail and if the car is in primo shape you can see prices up to 15-20k. Of course if you want that kind of money the car would need to be stock and delivered with some good papers. Again it all "depends" on the story of the car and the available history. M
