Admin Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi All It gives me great pleasure in announcing that Recreational Flying now has a very powerful feature rich new Classifieds system. It is FREE to list your non-commercial classifieds. There are 2 packages available when you list a classified. Standard site users will automatically be defaulted to a standard package but First Class Members are able to select either the Standard Package or the First Class Members Package. Standard Package: Classifieds are listed for 30 days Classifieds can not be relisted Classifieds can not be featured Classifieds can not be bumped up First Class Members Package: Classifieds are listed for 90 days Classifieds can be relisted up to 4 times Classifieds are automatically featured in the Classifieds Section Classifieds can be bumped up every week (this is one way of Recreational Flying saying thank you to First Class Members) When a classified is created, a thread is automatically created in the Classifieds Forum for everyone to see including Google and other search engines. You now have up to 7 different categories to choose from in which to list your classified. I hope you find this new site feature a great asset and remember, here at Recreational Flying Classifieds ARE FREE. To access the new Classifieds section, click Classifieds from the slide out menu bar 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrZoos Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Great but i seriously think you should charge at least $10pm for an aircraft or part worth more than $1000 Who in their right mind would object to that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 The Classifieds are only just one section of the entire site so when you add up everything this site has to offer then being a First Class Member is so very little to support the site and have even more benefits...and let's not get personal to what an individual may get out of it but also what the site does for the whole recreational aviation industry especially those that are learning so it is very little cost to help those coming up in the industry 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 When entering the classified click the button that says "Set Location". In the pop up window enter your address like just the street, suburb and city and click search and it will find it on the map. This is to prevent shonky type classifieds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvercity Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have been trying to post a Wanted classified but it keeps telling me to fill out the required fields. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I have been trying to post a Wanted classified but it keeps telling me to fill out the required fields. Any suggestions? Tried to post a couple of weeks back and had the same problems so ended up giving it a miss. Bit of a shame really as the previous classifieds were well used and read. The new model hasn't attracted very many postings so do I assume other people experienced the same problems as you & I and ultimately walked? Admin - how about a return to the old format? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 The fields are now made optional...sorry for not advising sooner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 I have been working on some enhancements to the free Recreational Flying Classifieds System but unfortunately as I am now back in Canberra I can't upload them to the site until I get internet access installed...I am not going to use the free canberra city wifi as I am using now due to security reason however I have been advised 3 more weeks for the nbn to be installed in my apartment. Some of the enhancements are; Trader Rating The Classifieds system will have it's very own trader rating system for allowing members to rate each other. And of course there are moderation tools, reports and warning handlers to deal with the spammers. :) How the trader rating works is pretty simple: when a classified is being marked as complete the advertiser is prompted with a form asking for the username of the member he/she did business with. Once selected and marked as complete the user will be redirected to the "Rate Trader" form where, if specified, the user can fill in the feedback criteria and a comment. The feedback system is based on three possible values: Positive, Neutral and Negative, unlike the post rating system. Also Automatically select the first image uploaded as the classified icon. Send alerts to users who are opted into alerts for new classifieds. Show average response time in classified view. Show percentage of reply to contact messages. Add support for tags. And some other small enhancements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
