Classifieds replacing Marketplace forums

[robtom]

We will be phasing out the Marketplace forums and replacing it with Classifieds application. The current active threads will stay active until they expire, but feel free to create a copy using the Classifieds app. Once we sort out any potential problems, I will create a new forum for e-bay stuff, and close the buy & sell forums.
The new app has many features, like listing the latest ads in the sidebar, auto expiration, ability to relist an item, notifications and many others. It should be easier to browse and list items than when using the forums.

Classifieds are also easily accessible using the Mobile skin. Click on the '4 squares' menu, then select Classifieds.

Can you post and ask questions off mobile. Haven't been able to figure it out. Plus doesn't Seem to be a button to post new item off mobile either

I did mine off my mobile (not in mobile theme though)

 

[Gianni]

Yeah Im using mobile theme

Looks like the mobile theme only allows you to browse classifieds. I will contact the developer of the app to see if it can be fixed.

Excellent idea Robtom. Sounds like it'll be a very cool change.

Is there any way to put locations on the sale posts or thread?

Also in the mobile versoon it doesnt even show the seller or location :-(

And i cant find a way to switch from mobile to full view, u can go from full to mobile though

Great idea with the location. I added an optional Location field - it will show up when creating an advert. Looks like the mobile version only has limited functionality. There is only the text of an ad, no way of contacting the owner or posting questions. I will look into this, but it will take time.
You should be able to switch back from the Mobile to the regular theme. At the bottom-centre of every mobile page there is a light blue button with 'Change Theme' text.

Ahh ok, ive been using the mobile version not the mobile theme

The mobile theme has the option to chnage theme back to main, but the "mobile version" does not

It is a bug in the forum software fixed in the latest version. We can't upgrade yet, as some of the apps we use are not compatible...
I took the time and fixed by myself modifying some code, tested on ipod. Give it a try, you should now see a link at the bottom to change themes. Selecting Mobile or Mobile Theme from the Main should make no difference. If it doesn't work, make sure to type only 4gtuner.com in the browser without any additional text.

Can I just ask:
Why does the format need to be changed?
I didn't think it was broke?

 

[robtom]

It was impossible to switch from Mobile to Full format theme. The Mobile format doesn't fully support all the futures of the board, and sometimes it is useful to have the ability to switch back and forth.

The format didn't really change. You may not be automatically put in the mobile theme when browsing, but it is easy to switch:

To navigate to Mobile click the "Use Mobile Version" at the bottom:

To go back to full display mode, click 'Change Theme' as shown below:
