so annoying seeing a for sale post and no pictures to go with it.:mad:

as for hosting a picture , i use photobucket. use the direct image url and it works all the time everytime.:thumbsup:

I still use the photobucket app they’ve missed a loophole that still allows you to post via it

is there a way that the for sale thread only posts if there is an attachement picture? anyway round it?

No idea but I’m guessing not especially as we’re running on the old version of vBulletin. I can have a word with the who’s looking after us but I know for a fact he’s off for 5 weeks now :lol:

Paul Rotheram...I was trying to be constructive. Ideally I want to take pictures on my phone and immediately upload them; not resize etc etc, too slow. 6 weeks is plenty of old adverts to look through for price; make it twelve if not. Auto delete keeps size of forum files reasonable at all times.

Either it's as fast/convenient as Facebook, eBay etc or people will in the end stop using it. Not so many in the forum these days anyway. (Which is a shame as FB is impossible to search within.)

This is the type of thing that must stop.

im lost ross

ad has been amended big letters SOLD Am i missing something ?

dave

What was he selling Dave, what condition was it in, how much was it for ?

If the buyer has an issue with the condition and it isn't as stated in the for sale post he has no reference.

Ah ok I see where your coming from Ross

possibly an issue for the unwary but from mypoint of view I contact seller usually verbally ask for pictures and check trader feedback, l almost always pay by paypal and pay fees unless I have traded previously with seller
if im not happy I dont buy
id rather see advert classed as sold when done rather than leaving it open for ages
my biggest gripe is wanted ads where you reply in good faith and never hear anything back

all in all its a brilliant free service we should all be great full for the mods and admin team do us a great job unpaid in their own time thank s to all involved

dave

i agree that all for sale ads should have photo's, but is it possible to host photos in short term for the for sale sections only, last time i put photo's on in i made this it took six attempts before they actually appeared, if other people are having this problem i can see why some people are not bothering to post pictures with their for sale stuff
