Lots of changes to the club over the last month or so with the upgrade and move away from vBulletin.

The next thing inline to get an overhaul is the Classifieds; the new system is a purpose built ecommerce system rather than just a sub forum with tags in the title of each post we create.

That being said the new system has lots of new features that allows as to shake things up a bit.

First thing we have done is reduce the categories down to four split between 'Car For 'Sale' and 'Parts For Sale' and the wanted variants.

You can now post an offer officially for items so there is no first dibs.

Next thing and likely the biggest thing we have done is open up the classified system so that 'Standard Members' can sell too.

So all that's needed to sell is to be apart of the 'Standard Members' group and that's where a few other things are changing.

 

The user member base has been split up into 3 groups as follows :

 

Registered

As you register for the club you are placed in this group and if and when you create 30 posts and have been a member for 30 days then you are promoted to a Standard User

Registered members can reply to Standard and Premium selling posts but cannot post to sell.

Standard Member

This group is allowed to use the Classified System but there selling posts are less prominent than Premium Members

Also the selling time is default to 7 days before the post expires.

Members in this group will stay as a Standard member as long as your activity doesn't fall below 30 days of inactivity.

Premium Member (paid)

This group has full selling rights and is allowed to create their own selling area.

Any selling will be shown evenly with other Premium Content and will be shown ahead of Standard members.

Selling has no time limit for Premium Members and the items being sold will auto renew.

 

So this means you have to at least contribute towards posting on the club and be an active user for 30 days to sell.

All Premium Member Adverts are featured content; and are displayed in various locations on the site and in front of Standard Members so that as a Paid member you still have a greater benefit over normal users.

Rules are also in place to Promote and Demote Registered and Standard Members based on there activity and posts towards the community.

 

This new system is active; however we will change it if necessary if we feel its not working properly.

Any issues please let me know.

 

Two adds I had running have expired and not auto renewed. They both have "Cannot be renewed" their listing.

Should be fixed now

Still have a problem with my expired ads not auto renewing. Can't see an option to manually renew?

I've manually fixed them all.

Not sure why they are not automatically renewing as checked the settings and everything looks good to renew.
