Its not that user friendly for sure.
I thought it looked decent initially, but boosted ads completely break it from a browsing POV.
Maybe change the boost functionality so it works more like PB repost?
It's shite. It's almost as if it serves no financial purpose for STW, so they hope if the new interface is bad enough, everyone will stop using it, and they will no longer need to support it....
I never use the new one. Not a fan of the categories and the fact that is not taken off so does not have much on.
I open the old one every other day and skim down the list quickly.
And I can spot something I'm after pretty quick from the descriptions, takes 1min max,.
I do not see what the new one adds and I like the text based simplicity of the old one.
I have to say, since the forum update stopped you being able to search the For Sale/Wanted forums properly, I pretty much don't use either the old or new Classifieds here now. The Pinkbike BuySell is an exemplary example of exactly how it should be done... "Ooooh, I wonder what 650B Enduro bikes in Large are out there under a grand with "160mm" and "Lyriks" as keywords" - there you go, a 2017 Commencal Meta AM V3 in orange in Stroud.
I've just seen the post in the FS forum that both the FS and wanted sections will be closing shortly. Thats one more nail in the coffin for this forum
I'm sure it's only coincidental that the closure of the current forums was announced after this thread popped up.

Lolz....
idiotdogbrain - yeah PB is great but partly because it has the biggest MTB userbase outside of ebay

Shame about that, you'd hope they might read this thread and take note of some of the great feedback included.
New products don't always work out as hoped and it's not always wise to double-down if they don't get off to a good start.

Are you new here?
(TBF, we don't know they haven't)
Are you new here?
I'm just being diplomatic, having worked in digital media for almost 20 years I know I'd have killed for this kind of considered feedback from invested users on some products I've managed.
I also know I made a few mistakes by sticking with "plan A" when there were clear signs it wasn't gonna fly, just because I wanted it to or didn't have the experience to spot the issues.
Anyway, enough rambling. Let's see shall we.
I’ve commented on the sticky thread, counting down to when I get told off or banned or something. 😂
No use, they've obviously made their minds up 🙁
FFS this site is disappearing up its own arse. It appears the majority don't like it but we'll close the more popular one instead.
Is maybot in charge of things there! 🤡
pondering if it's worth renewing my P now
I’m sure it’s only coincidental that the closure of the current forums was announced after this thread popped up.
Maybe it prompted them but it has always been the plan.

Well I just resubsscibed as part of a birthday present. In fact I got a free gift yesterday I wasn’t expecting. Some weird arse cream? Not sure what I’m going to do with it to be honest probably give it to a roadie friend. But one thing is for sure if the classified/wanted forums go it will be the last renewal unless something miraculous happens to the new shit system!
how much for the arse cream?
I will list it for sale on pinkbike or eBay. 😉 I can’t be arsed using the new system.
Bizarrely it would appear the overpriced Ibis Mojo has been removed....someone obviously cleaning up the classifieds a bit

The sad irony of your last post Brunneep filled with forum edit and posting software faults! <div> or should that be <divvy>
You missed my point Bruneep.
nah don't think.i did. stw towers seem to miss everyones point but it's their site to implode as they see fit.
I could've quoted you again, to show the failings of the forum bit we all know what they are but nothing ever gets done. apart from giving us some thing no one wants.
hey ho

Straight copy and paste of the text only then highlight and quote from the buttons above. 2 steps rather than the simply "reply with quote that you usually do on forums and no way of saying who the quote is from as far as I can see without manually typing in the [ quote = "bruneep" ] etc
Will it be full of extraneous stuff?
No its not but its still a long way for a shortcut
[quote="Tj"] meh

Exactly you did miss my point as my reply did just that hence the embarrassed emoji. Still at least you got to post a gif.
Maybe I should set up a classifieds on my temp forum what i created 😁
Now what was the address again...
It was all nice and civil 'til the mod turned up, eh?
Just here tojump on the old ones good. New ones bad train.

No I didn't, but you obviously know my thoughts so what the point in me explaining to you ....and do you know how hard it is to post an image/gif from a mobile. Another issue that's never been fixed
About time it's changing over TBH. I'm one of the people for them, as soon as it's populated better and people get over actually being able to fins a specific item instead of browsing endless pages of cryptic subject lines I'm sure nobody will be bothered. Except the people who moan for moanings sake of course.

Copy link, paste. Done.

Ah so you knew after all that I agree some areas are still broke and it’s embarrassing. Not sure the monkey Gif made that clear though.
I have a Hightower frame for sale. In the new classifieds there are ten pics in the ad. On the old one there are none but had two people ask for pics on the old classifieds although it didn’t sell. Think that says a lot about how much it’s used.
Copy link, paste. Done
just can't seem to find the submit button on a mobile?

Yep - it doesn't appear.
I do, however, get a button with a tick on the bottom/right of the keyboard. This seems to do the same job.
Ah! I see.
You can just paste the straight into the main field Bruneep it’ll magically turn it into a pic.
FFS! so what is the point in the insert/edit image button on the post page. What other pointless buttons are there.
This forum is more broken or just cobbled together than I thought it was.

Embarrassing for who?
