Classifieds search header options

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Can we get the "1 year" option added back to the search header? Right now it stops at "last 180 days" see below

Pictures in adds won't rotate

Yep....preview doesn't actually change anything but what you are seeing on the screen. You would need to use an image editor rather than a viewer to make changes.....glad I was able to help.....

Is there no way to rate someone if they had to use PM's instead of normal way to reach me?

There were a few days when the outside email system was not working properly. Unless the normal respond to ad system is used there is no rating flag set.  Ask him to respond to the ad again, if he says it doesn't give him that option then that means the flag was set.

If that is the case both of you need to visit the "Unused Ratings" option on your account settings page. If the flag was set there should be an option to rate each other.

His getting kicked off may have unset the feedback flag.....respond to his ad again and that should reset the feedback flag for both of you.

Wait I just read your message again.....currently the feedback needed display option when you look up his account is not working (programmers say it will be added back).  Right now the only way to see your feedback flags is to look on your account settings page and view the "Unused Ratings" list. Check that 1st before you do the above.

I have noticed that the photos of my old Jukebox are no longer there, which is kind of a bummer, because once I finally finish the restoration, I may not have anything to compare it to, as how it looked before I refurbished it.  I don't know if I have the old photos in my computer still.   LOL.  

Use the generic search command in the far left column of the screen. Put in a search term and choose a category.....leave everything else blank. It will show all the ads back to 2001 in refractors that match the search term for example. There may be a hard limit though on number of ads if the term is too generic but if there is I have not found it yet.

For Larry Thaxton.....screen shot of your auction.

Posted By Greg Shaffer

I don't see an issue with what it shows.....high bid looks right based on what you said.

I do see what you mean about the auctions ending soon on the home page though.....it should read "$2950 reserve not met" instead of "$4300 reserve not met"

I would suggest sending a PM to "Vladimir Krsmanovic" just in case he doesn't notice this posting....

Mueller's Trump Questions Leaked!

When did you know it? Who did you tell?

I'm not sure why Trump's team thought it would benefit them to leak these unless they somehow think that by leaking them, they can then start deriding them publicly and control the narrative.

Making an assumption that the Trump team leaked this?
