Just to keep you up to speed, find below the visuals for the Classifieds that is currently in build.

If you have any valid comments, please put them forward.

This is the current Classifieds forum view which will remain:





If you click on SPORTS MASERATI FORUM CARS from the above, it will take you here:





Clicking on GranTurismo (7) from above will take you to the relevant car list view.
Clicking on Maserati will list all cars from that manufacturer
Note you can filter your results in the grey header
You can also change the display order by age/price hi-lo/price lo-hi/distance
Once sold the the ad can be updated to reflect this:





Clicking on an item from above takes you to the full details
Note Paypal, this can be enbled/disabled, more relevant for parts, not cars:





Clicking a picture takes you to a new window that opens to browse the picture gallery:



I have purposely tried to give it a familiar feel to other classifieds.

Nice one Matt. What are the plans regarding approaching traders? If you need me to approach my 'locals' just let me know.

 

[Woody]

Looks great, looking forwards to seeing it.

Out of interest, how long with add stay up? Personally, I liked the MF function of leaving ads on indefinately.

 

[nigw]

Looks great Matt.

The only thing I would question would be the point of the Paypal "buy it now"....really?!

Ads will stay up indefinitely then once sold would fall to the back of the list view.

The system is for the unlimited use of the sponsors. As for letting other traders use it, I have not decided yet. It will probably be an annual licence fee over a pay per ad basis. The system is aimed at sponsors but we will be catering for members selling their personal cars.

As stated above, the BUY IT NOW / Paypal will be switchable on/off and is aimed at the parts section. For cars I agree it's not appropriate.

It's for the use of sponsors only with members personal cars also.

We have 7 sponsors so far, going live 1st Feb. this is an aid to fill up the sponsors.

Very smart, very fluid.

Will images of cars, and other for-sale items, be viewable to non members, ie, those not logged in/able to log in?

Not sure yet, probably as currently we don't restrict content to non members.

Yep, the donations have paid for a quarter of the fees for the ads section, so thank you very much guys!

Looks ace, I would expect a significant increase in people advertising.

Matt, it looks superb and very professional as we all expected. Just hope it's not problematic like PH when it goes live!

It will be fully tested before launch and its been designed so its simple and being done by an expert VB coder.
