johnnyboxer Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 When is it coming back and why can't it be just another section on the Forum, with access to TC subscribed members only? On most other Forums it's just another sunbsection, with either free access or restricted access to subscribed members only Can anyone shed any light on it?

Andy Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 without intending to sound rude, it will be back when I'm happy with the replacement. It *is* being worked on, but I have a full-time job over and above TC and there is only me to work on this stuff. I work with computers all day so the last thing I want to do is spend all my free time plonked in front of one! The Classifieds have been totally separate from the forums from the beginning and I want them to stay that way. Aside from that, I've spent a considerable sum on the replacement package, it's just a question of finding the time to finish the customisation and iron out several bugs that currently exist. I'm not in a position to put any time frame on that, but it will be as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamjayzee Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks for the update Andy. I know you're a busy man and that this is a free service, but I think it's a reasonable question. Many of us are acquisitionists, and a daily browse through what's for sale is a highlight for us. We need our top up of spending opportunities!

Thanks for that, Andy Being self employed, I fully understand However I'd like to understand your rationale to have it on the front page (free to all) and not within the forum Surely if the FS&W was within the Forum, it would create more value to to TC, keep out any security concerns by being protected and stop any undesirables maybe using it for free and maybe scamming genuine trials enthusiasts If it was within the Forum, access could be limited to TC Forum Sunscribers, thus creating potentially more revenue to support the running of TC to all and the auduence would more than likely be committed Trialsters I would sunscribe if this was the case Just a thought Edited July 26, 2011 by Johnnyboxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm pleased to say it shouldn't be much longer before the Classifieds make a return, though it's been a bit of a nightmare The package I bought cost me several hundred dollars. I reckon I've spent between 20 and 30 hours customising/skinning it to meet TC needs. During that time I found some bugs and pretty key parts of the system that didn't work as they should so logged support calls with the providers. They've not once even acknowledged me despite numerous attempts to contact them so I currently have a PayPal dispute open to get my money back. I've subsequently bought another package (after checking it has decent support this time!), but have had to start the customisation part all over again, hence what has taken so long However, the new system is nice, easy to use and has a number of new features Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 That's good, as I have money burning a hole in my pocket as I type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I'm skint Andy so take your time, no rush. The DBF is a tyre kicker so be warned gives genuine punters a bad name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
