Peace, Hollywood

Contact them via Personal message, the key feature about using the message board for keeping the scammers from sending you crap.

To send a personal message, just click the icon below a person's avatar.  See this illustration, the red arrow is pointing to the Personal Message link for Hollywood.

The other   clasified  board was sooooooo easy to read  and fun , too .
This new one is not  fun at all.
I can put up with scammers  from the other board

I've used the new Classifieds Board and I agree with Kidd - the old one was better.

Never had a scammer problem on the old one, but probably would have had fun playing mind games with him if I had!! :evil:

    I think once people start adding pics to their ad attitudes will improve. Pictures sell.

I just used the new classifieds and I really liked it!  :cooldude: No spammers! It was getting so bad on the old classifieds it seemed like there were 10 spammer replys to every legitimate one. Thanks for the new classifieds.  8)

Hooray for the new classifieds  :cooldude:

I recently had about 10 items on the old classifieds (one ad). Pretty much all of it sold... got the "I am interested in you item..." - spams, etc.

Even 3 weeks after all of it sold, I am still getting all the emails that the Nigerian bank manager needs me to launder $14 million US dollars for him!

... I sent him all my banking info, etc. I can't wait to get my riches  ;)


New classifieds should get rid of most of that... once people start posting pictures, etc, this one will be 10x better than the old... just like the original board change-over was.

p.s. - would love to see the Ohio board right under the Texas board in the new format (might drive some of the Ohio regulars nuts though.. they don't post on the main board)

I am getting more replies and at least can see if people are looking. Most pics are on that site you can't refer to, in my store for sale, not for auction , but at least 10% cheaper here and available immediately.

+1 on this, Pics will be a huge improvement. Thanks for setting up the new board.

I like getting the notification for new additions to the classified board in my unread posts section. Don't have to check it seperately.
Thanks.

No, as a matter of fact, you can't.
