martin_h Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Did I miss something? The buy & sell section seems to have closed, with last post reading 'Never', Threads = 0, posts = 0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 No, that is a new board explaining why people do not have access to the For Sale Section... The for sale section is still there a few link further down...Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypernova Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Why have I only JUST started seeing a new sub-forum in the equipment section titled "Buy/Sell section" just above Equipment Help?Never seen this one before and there are no posts or threads contained within it and no option to start a thread either It also says something about being a member for a month and have 50 posts, the same thing that is said about the for sale section.Anyone else see what I am talking about?

Ant Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You had me going for a minute - I even used my test login to see if it was there or not...Which it wasn't, so started to panic a little as I couldn't anything wrong... Then realized that my test user didn't have 50 posts DOH! Glad you can see it.Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You have only JUST started seeing the section because I've only just set it up. It is to explain to people(with less than 50 posts) that they cannot get access to the FOR SALE section till they have 50 posts and 1 months membership... I thought that it might prevent some of the threads asking where the for sale section is.Did you read the description?CheersAnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrantEb Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Brilliant move by the MODS, at least there won't be so much confusion for new users now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypernova Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thanks for clearing that up, it sounds like a genuine good idea on the part of the mods and admins to keep re-posting about the for sale section down a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m.tweedy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have merged both these threads to tidy up the boards.....HOPEFULLY this may cut out (sorry down) the number of posts from new members who complain they cannot access the buy/sell section.I like it, it makes sense to me.

demoneye Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It is frustrating not being able to see the buy/sell post but I can see the logic to prevent commercial sellers taking advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyH Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Good move Admin peeps! There did seem to be a surge of 'where's the buy/sell' questions for a while. Andy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperySquid Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 It is frustrating not being able to see the buy/sell post but I can see the logic to prevent commercial sellers taking advantage.Oh and what a magical place it is...with lollipops and candy canes for all!! Truely without it I would be lost!"A Skywatcher 190MN went for £200, then on Sunday there was a Atik 314L with Astrodon LRGB+Ha filters that went for £180! Then there was the EQ6 that some one swapped for a gerbil!" Carlseberg don't do "for sale forums", but if they did it would probably be the best for sale forum in the world...
