Hey Gang! SITE CONSTRUCTION AHEAD!! Updated!

[val2525]

Just a heads up for everyone - we're going to do some forum construction over the next few days weeks. We'll be combining some areas, expanding others, setting up some new boards, all sorts of site juggling.


It shouldn't affect you much - your posts will still be here, but they might be in a different spot than they were before. So if you log in and your favorite discussion has moved boards, you're not going nuts. Well, not from that, anyway.

You'll see some polls and discussions popping up, too, asking for your suggestions and opinions. Please do help us by letting us know your thoughts!  


The one thing we won't be doing is moving any posts you've made in the Private Clubhouse to the open area.

So carry on, keep on posting, and bear with us a few days as we make this an even better Virtural Sellers Club!

Phase One is done! Check out the new Fashion Resource Links board! Please feel free to post and update information in that area. And don't worry if you're posting in the right section or not there, we'll move your post if needed.

On to the next part!

I love the new fashion resource section!! Great job!

I think my favorite thing about this board is that there is something for everyone.

I am more of a hobby seller to pay for cat rescue etc. so I am not a big contributor to all the clothing and fashion threads because I don't know anything or very little at the most.

But I love the Gardening section and the Critters section because I am comfortable and love posting in those areas.

While the main focus on this board is for selling and related topics, there are areas where members can post and still feel like they are contributing.

Thank you to the founders and developers. You guys rock!

UPDATES!

I moved the delete post button out in the open.

I installed a plug-in that allowed a member to lock a post they'd started. Then I deleted it when everyone found a way to get around it and post anyway. *sigh*

The forum platform does not allow members to delete their post if it is the original post AND has replies. You can edit your OP but you will not be able to delete it. Sorry, nothing I can do about that.


So….if you are the OP and want your discussion locked or deleted, please send a PM to Clean, Shirley or me. We'll be happy to do as you requested.

want that cupcake.....

And we're done with another section!

Elly has been busy beefing up the Fashion Resource section, with some help from Mup. Kudos and thanks to both of you!


Major changes to the eBay Board:

The eBay Board has been expanded by member request to include sections on non-clothing topics as well. Check it out!

We've added some additional "business" sections to the eBay Board as well - Shipping & Packaging plus Business Resources & Tips.

We've renamed one eBay section to "Newstories", feel free to post articles about eBay and PayPal in the news here.

Last on the eBay Board, the former "eBay Issues" has been renamed "Policies & Issues", hopefully that's a little easier to understand.




Try it out, and let me know if it's OK as is, or needs to be split to two boards, eBay Selling Categories and eBay Business Topics (etc).

[val2525]

A new section has been added to the Clubhouse area - Business Strategies.

In case you're wondering what the difference is between this section and the Business Resources & Tips area on the eBay Board….

The Business Strategies section is just that - tips on building and expanding an online business. Info entered here would be things you're willing to share with other members here but not openly with the general public. This section is in the Clubhouse and requires a minimum 100 posts to access, just like the Private Chat area.

The Business Resources section on the eBay Board would be more general tips and links that are useful to the full member base here, but not proprietary in nature.

UPDATED 2/24/15: We hit a snag on the first round - totally my goof as I used the wrong words. Sorry, gang!  See revisions below:


The Sell Your Stuff board is up! The board is open to the public for viewing and links will be clickable, however only members can post and reply.


This is new for us, so I expect there will be some tweaking and changes as we grow.  

There are only three sections, but that can be expanded as we see what everyone is listing and where we need to break out categories.



For now, the rules are:


* Members are limited to THREE (3) items listed a day (maximum).

* Use a new thread on the appropriate board for each item. Other members are free to post comments about the item on the item thread.

* "Unused" limits do NOT carry over to the next day. Use 'em or lose 'em gang!

* Each thread should be for ONE item only.

* Each thread should be for a unique item - please don't keep posting the same item over and over.  You may, however, post a repeat item IF the original post has been archived and the item is currently iisted.

* You may post items from any site you sell on - eBay, Etsy, Amazon, Bonanza, your own website, etc.

* Each item should have a description of the item, at least one picture, and a link to the item.  Remember, this area is open to search engines. Use keywords!

* Members are asked to please delete their threads once the item sells.

* Admins will archive all threads OVER 30 days old.



This will be a work in progress for a bit, so please bear with us as we work out the kinks in this area. As always, feel free to give us feedback.

OK, just so everyone knows…I'm testing some more plug ins later tonight. So you won't think you're going nuts or anything if you're on the board tonight…..

[Shirley U Geste]

Good to know.

When the up/down arrow appeared I blamed it on Bitty dancing on my keyboard.   

[val2525]

Tonight's plugin test is one that is supposed to make it easier to insert pics in posts. Reviews were mixed, so I thought I'd test it out first.

Test driving the photo upload thingie:



PS Val, that's TLGB, not a dog.

Unlike the OTHER one, this one looksl like a bear!
