Hi there. It's been a long long time since I've used the forum, and it's changed completely and I can't figure out a few things on the classifieds.

1. Any search I do for any keyword, takes me to a random list of article/advertisements fun 5 months ago about black Friday deals. Any way to make the search function actually be of any use?

So instead I scroll through pages and pages and pages of ads finally finding what I'm looking for...

2. But theres no pm function. I click on the sellers name, and it takes me to a page telling me how long they've been a member, a list of their current ads, and the search bars. I've googled how to pm, and read how I click on a name, and how some people select not to receive PM's from certain people, that's all understood. And when not in classifieds I can click on names and find options to pm. But in classifieds, no chance. Am I missing something somewhere regards pm function in classifieds? Any pointers, or how tos would be amazing.

I'm using the mobile site, I have disabled adblockers, and am pretty non tech savvy.

Cheers forum.

It's a bit broken at the moment. It will get mended at some point.

Ah right ok... Not just me then..

Thanks for the reply.

So, in the meantime....we post a comment in the thread and hope that the seller sees it and responds and hopes that i see it, if I can find the same thread again because, ya know, the search thing...

Is that how its currently working?

The last time I bought something I had to search for a post from the seller on the normal forums.

Once id found a post from him on there I COULD PM him from his post but you can't from the posts on the actual classifieds.

A lot of sellers are now putting an email address on the posts and that's what I'd recommend sellers and buyers in the wanted/ for sale to do.

I agree it's a bit of a pain.

Not really allowed to start threads like this and talk about it either. Hopefully you won’t get in too much trouble

Says who?

Other than there’s a thread for reporting bugs at the top of the forum of course.

I appreciate that my reply further up there may have sounded a bit sh***y, which actually it wasn't meant to. Just wanting a bit of clarity that's all.

Thanks all for the replies and the info.

Says who?

Well the threads keep getting closed, and it seems my post has been deleted! It was supposed to be tongue in cheek but now I'm googling designs for a tin foil hat.

They get closed as the bug thread is on a sticky, your post disappeared as I have fat fingers and hit unapprove.  😂

I'm going to close this. Not because it's 'not allowed' but because we have a forum feedback thread and scattering bug reports across multiple threads isn't helpful, we need it in one place.

You can't currently PM from the classifieds as far as I'm aware, but you can always PM a user from their profile page at https://singletrackmag.com/user/ [username]
