Hi all

This is a notification to all members that the more sophisticated Classifieds add-on module that was introduced in August 2015 is going to be shut down in early Jan 2016. This is the system accessed by clicking the "Classifieds" link in the top black navigation bar.

We were running with both the new module and the "traditional way" in parallel. When the new system is shut down, the "old way" will continue to be available. The old way is the traditional way of using the threads like it has been since inception. I.e. By accessing the Classifieds For Sale sub forum.

Why are we doing this?
The new add-on promised to bring many benefits such as the required fields and reduced moderation time. However it had some shortcomings, the main one being that it wasnt Tapatalk friendly.

How does this affect you?
If you have an open ad running on the "new system", you will need to repost it in the "old Classifieds threads". When the system is shut down, your ad on the "new system" will be lost.

In the mean time, please do not post any new ads using the "new system"

When will it be shut down?
We will keep it running for about a week or so - but will shut it down early in the new year. Should be in the first week of Jan 2016. A final date will be announced closer to the time.
 
Bumping this thread for those that may have missed it

Please start using the "traditional" thread system for Classifieds ads
The fancy system is going to be shut down

@Yagya, sorry, but can you repost in the "traditional way"
Just go here: http://www.ecigssa.co.za/forums/for-sale/
And make a new thread
 
Hi all

With respect to the above announcement, we will be shutting down and removing the "Classifieds Add-on module" this Sunday 10th January

Please make sure that if you have any open ads running on that system that you repost them in the "Normal Classifieds Threads"

If you are not sure what we mean by the "Normal Classifieds Threads" - it is the Classifieds forums where the adverts do not have dedicated fields - you just create a new thread and post - just like you would do in any other post on the forum.

To create a new Classifieds For Sale thread, go here:
http://www.ecigssa.co.za/forums/for-sale/
And create a new thread

If you are using these normal threads, you have nothing to worry about, they will be left untouched.
 
Just a reminder that the "new Classifieds add-on module" is going to be disabled tomorrow (Sunday).

So if you have any open adverts there, please repost in the older "traditional Classifieds threads".

Thanks
