Points ads

How do I reference the resort that the points are based out of ?

It can make a big difference.

could you elaborate your question?

if you are placing a points based ad...simply choose you are selling points and mention the home resort in the description.

if you are selling a specific resort week that has points attached...you can post it the other way around and mention the points int he description.

or you can do both...its free.

Order of ads

Brian, now that there are more ads posted in the new new classifieds ads section I just noticed that the first ad posted stays at the top of the list and newer ads are listed below. Shouldn't newer ads be placed first in line?

I agree with Bob for the initial view, but can't we still sort like in the old ads? I want to display them in the order that works for me - e.g. within region, sort by name or by week or price, within region.

I really like the way the old classified ads are accessed as well as the look of the old ads. It's easy to go to a specific area, and then the ads are easy to sort by week, price, name, etc.

. . . Are you going to have sorting ability as the old classified system does?

could you elaborate on your feedback and give an example so I can fully understand the issue?

you can easily sort through the new ads the same way you did in the old ads by selecting the "area" you wish to look at.

The 2nd drop down box is labeled "area" (perhaps we can change this to resort area or something more aptly named)

That's not what I'm looking for.

I want to go to Mexico For Rent (Yes, I can search for Mexico in the new system) and then see what Royal Resorts are listed - all together, without having to see the other resorts. Sorting by name gives me an alphabetical list with the Royals (except CIC/VCI) together. Or maybe I want to see summer weeks, hence sort by week. Search seems too restrictive, if I don't know what I'm searching for. Sort lets me see them all, but in whatever way makes more sense to me.

you should be able to sort using any column you wish?

I tend to agree about the sorting from newest to oldest...ill see if i can switch that.

ok now im even more confused =)

you can sort by resort name already...and by week....or you can browse all ads and sort by each column.

I dont quite get what you are asking for that you currently cannot do?

ok, my error - I didn't see the links on top of the columns, so didn't realize I could still sort. :p

It's all good!

Can I show 2 consecutive rental weeks in same ad?

I'm trying to post the weeks from Oct 4 - Oct 18 at the Bay Club at Waikoloa.
I tried using the "fixed" option - I was able to show bedrooms, baths, number it sleeps, and the cost for two weeks - but the dates showed as just the first week. I also tried the "other" option - I could put a comment in the weeks section showing two weeks, but none of the other information would show in the boxes. Is there any way to show both weeks in the same ad, or do I need to show them as two separate weeks? If they show as separate weeks, is there any way to keep them together on the display? Thanks for your help.

you can either put them in two separate ads...or use the floating week option and list in the description that its two consecutive weeks.

or any combination of the two.

It has come to my attention that some of you cant see the link in the very first post that mentions the free classified ads....this is probably due to the same issue we had before regarding the word "Ad" or "Ads" in a link and some of you having software installed on your computer that hides links, pictures, ads, popups, etc that the software feels is something you dont want to see.

obviously in this case...it IS something you want to see...so we have a few solutions.

1. within your web browser add the following sites to your trusted sites list:

tug2.net
tug2.com
tugbbs.com

this link shows you how to do this:

http://surfthenetsafely.com/ieseczone7.htm

hopefully this will bypass your internet security software and let the links be displayed.


2. ill have to rename the file so it doesnt contain the word ads so you guys can read it.


or

3. cut and paste this link into your browser

I think we should just bite the bullet and rename everything NOW before more people get the pages bookmarked ....

How about just changing "..classified_ads" to "..classifieds" in both places?

thankfully thats just the page name for the "explanation" of the new ad program

the new classified ad homepage (ill start pointing all links there) wont contain the word ad.

Should have that up and running by the weekend.

when you recieved the email notifying you of the message...did it have the full domain name in it?

ie it said jsmith@comcast.net sent you a message about xyz resort?

or was it missing the .com/.net there too?
