Hi all,

Today I launched a new classified ads system on the site.  This new system integrates with your profile and gives everyone the capability to sell items on our site.  It's a bit different than posting a regular forum message, so, I would appreciate your feedback.  The best thing about the new classifieds is the capability to self-manage and set expiration dates.  The entire system is database driven and gives our members extra features that were not available when we were using the forums.  Take a look at the new system and let me know what you think..  https://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds

The one question I have is, do you think we should automatically create a forum topic when an ad is posted?  Or, should we leave all of the conversations about these ads within the new module?

Thanks for your support!  This is the kind of improvement we can make to the site with our supporting member subscriptions.

Best,

Mike

I like this! Cool feature Mike

@jfa.series1, I was able to find the user store option.  Each user has to enable it manually.   You can do this by clicking your name in the upper right of the header.  Click on profile, then edit profile.  You'll see another tab for enabling your store in there.  Enable it and give your store a name.  I tested this with my own store and it seems to work great.  The cool thing is all of your items for sale will be listed in a single place.  This is great for the hobbyists on our site or people who want to part out an entire car with multiple items.

Got the store enabled and an item listed.  Looks great, thanks!

Great glad you guys were able to get this working.  Please note that I realize there is an issue with thumbnails right now, I'll have it fixed by tomorrow.  It shouldn't affect the functionality.

Why does it seem like there are a lot less ads than before? Am I missing something?

Seems to be working fine. Can you give me an example?
