Classifieds reorganisation

[Tech]

We've just done the second stage of this - the for sale and wanted topics are gone, and we've replaced them with a For Sale / Wanted category, with topics for various types of item you might want to buy / sell. They should show up at the bottom of the main topic lists on this page.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Ta.

Your link gives me "The requested URL could not be retrieved"

[GeekBoy]

Would that have accounted for the site not accepting connections for a couple of mins?

[Tech]

Soupy that is cos i'm a divvy. and yes, GB we switched off for a minute or so.

Soupo, will fix that link now so later posters think you gone mad

[GeekBoy]

Tech meant at the bottom here I reckon..

[SoupDragon]

You'll have to delete/edit your comment about you being a divvy then, Tech...

[SoupDragon]

I think the link was actually meant to be this

[loobie2]

Is there a way of seeing old posts as i was just in talks about some items and now have no way of contacting them and cant remember all names!

[Hannah20056]

Mumsnet id say this was selfish to be honest! fair enuff may cut the scammers down but not all ppl are scammers there will be alot less ppl on here now!!

[LadyMuck]

Why selfish - doesn't it make it easier to find things now?

Other than that everything has disappeared rather quickly - couldn't you have just turned off the ability to start new threads in For Sale? I can foresee a lot of confusion for a week or two.

[bigspender30]

that explains why I can't find the wanted thread I posted earlier today. Thought I was going mad. Where can we find old threads and do we need to repost?

[LadyMuck]

loobie - have you tried "Threads I'm on"? Not sure if it will show up as I don't know quite what Tech has done.

[BenFMsmum]

I agree, what happens to old posts??

[ClareVoiant]

oh well done :-)

was just about to re post my for sales
will now do it in the allotted areas.

can you move the feedback forum too?, just for the sake of tidiness you understand

[EmmaHarris1982]

What does everyone think about the charge of £5 to post under the for sale sections? x

[loobie2]

no, all gone from threads im in and threads i started!

Think you will get a lot of annoyed people as most will be mid - sale/buying!

Like the different topics though.

[DualCycloneCod]

lol soupy
i clicked on for sale and it took me to the topic list

[DualCycloneCod]

lol selfihs
ITS THEIR SITE!!!

[Tortington]

tech said divvy

[emma57573]

So do we have to pay to list now? How much does it cost? also what happened to the Wanted section, I liked reading through them

[PenelopePitstops]

soupy! lol

[ClareVoiant]

ok, made my cat payment do i need to do anything else as it wont let me past the cat payment page?

[emma57573]

Oh ok £5 a year I can live with that I still want the wanted page though!

[Fimbo]

I read the first bit and thought it had gone altogther and started to cheer, and then saw the next bit.

[hunkermunker]

Post that you want Wanted in Wanted, please

Well done, MNHQ. MUCH better!

[PotPourri]

PLEASE let us have access to the old for sale just for a couple of days (you could block any new messages - so we need to CAT). At least we could see who the sellers were. I had a few things that I was making arrangements on, but did not take note of the sellers names...

I also think that having a classified section that does not have for sale/wanted in it doesn't make much sense. I.e. move it all into one section (toys reunited IS wanted really, fedback is def related to sales), and/or move the remainder (charity/non mumsnet requests etc into something like other adverts. Or in fact, just move them into other section...
