Some tips specific to posts in the classified forums :

Please be specific in the thread title, rather than "a few bits" or similar. It is more helpful for those who wish to browse the lists.


Please DON'T use UPPER CASE (capitals - it's considered the same as shouting) as it won't make it more likely that you'll get a sale. :)

  • editing posts, and updating
  • inserting images (pictures) into your post



1. Editing posts (in this forum only) :

Posts in the classified forums are now editable by members without time limit, so you can amend the description or price as required

If you are selling a list of items, and after a while some are sold and others not, it's a good idea to cross out (tecchy term is strikethrough) items no longer available

item 1
item 2
item 3
item 4
item 5
item 6

to achieve this there is a strikethrough option included in the post tools - click the three vertical dots to the right of the Italic symbol and you get lots more text options as below.




Alternatively (for those who prefer :)), you can add a strikethough tag at the beginning and at the end as shown below

[s]to strikethrough this line of text[/s] gives you

to strikethough this line of text

2. inserting images (pictures) in a post

Insert either by using the image insert "button" at the top or the "attach files" button at bottom.
