Hi guys,
We are preparing to upgrade the Zone to the newest version of our forum software. We have been running on the older line of the software since 2007. It was fairly new back then and we have updated it frequently so it is current within that line...but support and updates for that line are now coming to an end.
There are a lot of advantages to the newer software but we will be running a bit ugly during the transition. All user data, posts, messages, etc will be preserved and will transfer over. We will temporarily lose many/all of the mods we have made until we can reinstall and configure replacements. There may be some reduced functionality and/or a short downtime.
This will likely start next weekend and might take a week or so until we have it fully pretty again.
Thanks for your patience during this transition.

hmmmmmm, sounds to me an awful lot like this...

Thanks for all your hard work Admin and Chan.
I hope the new software kills flash dead, where it belongs.
-
Thank you for all your behind the scenes work.
-
Thanks to all you invisible people inside my computer.
You make my computer so much more fun.
Crap... now I'm going to have to get some work done :-\
This is all my daughters idea isn't it? :D
Good luck with the changeover.... see you on the other side.
-
No problem as long as the platinum members still get our free sandwiches each month.
-
Us gold members only get fish sticks. :-\
-
Pics from phones pleeeze!
-
Soooooo,
That was the switch over to the newer software (which we are live on now). Now on to the reinstalling and beautifying stage. This will take some time. I will try to get the big stuff restored first (video embedding) etc. More shortly....
-
Fresh clean look. So are you missing a couple of days of surf, or sleep,
or is it flat? Anyways thanks for the sweat.
Noticed the zone video section is gone. I did enjoy the results of the web
search you provided.
-
Where's the "any key"?? ;D
-
Ok. I found the login, then the reply. Where the hell is the bathroom???
-
Is it too late for redquests? If not, I would like to easily be able to click to read the last post posted on a thread. Otherwise, please just carry on.
-
Lookin' good so far.
-
It looks pretty. But disappointed the software is trying even HARDER to force me to use Flash. Not only does it nag for the plug in, but the links to play it, when you can't see it, are gone.
F*** Google and Adobe
-
I like it. Cleaner look without major change...any functional improvements at the user level?
-
It tingles, that means it's working.
-
I don't know if it's just me, but I've never had a modify or edit button after a post.
It really helps when you find missspellled words after you hit the post button.
Is it just me with this problem?
-
Let's see if mine is still there after I post this. It is usually there for a bit after a post. Maybe if I knew it wasn't there I would post more better.
Yep, there.......no more better here for me. You tho are more better unfiltered and raw.
Still tingles.

Ahhhh, I do see a little footnote at the bottom saying when I edited it. That will mean I got to post more better or I will have the extra stigma of having an asterisk.
-
Hi Guys,
It is coming along but it is still a major mess. We will definitely get to the fine tuning but I still think it will be a week of tweaking. A couple of things are fighting me at the moment. In the long run we should see improvements in a lot of areas as we can now use the latest versions of all plugins. Newer versions of tapatalk, etc were not functional with our old software so this should allow us access to better performance there and in other arenas.
Embedded video should be working now. more soon....
-
Tank you.
-
I'm kinda missing the Recent Topics tab. :-[
-
Whenever I get to the "view insurance plan options" screen, it just freezes up.
(I was also told this upgrade would not affect my rates AND I could keep my doctor. Mad as hell right now! ::)
-
ditto on the recent topics tab. Its pretty much the default use of the site
-
Can't see photos well on iphone
-
Really digging the mouse type. I like wearing these glasses, they make me look studious. Of course I have to be careful near lights so I don't set my lower eyelid on fire.
-
I'm kinda missing the Recent Topics tab. :-[
It looks like we have to go to Forum and Recent Topics are all the way at the bottom.
-
It's there "recent unread posts". It is at the top left of the page, by your name, under Hello and your user name. Show unread posts since last visit. That is the quick button you're looking for new topics since your last visit vs the ten recent topics at the bottom of the page.
-
One comment...it's going to be annoying having flashing ads on all sides with the threads squeezed into the middle.
-
IS it me or are the time stamps for the recent posts off a little?
-
Hi Guys,
Still a work in progress.
A few notes:
SouthWesterly, your 90 second edit capability should be active now.
We will rebuild all of the "recent" tabs up top.
Time Zone offset can be set per user in your profiles.
-
I don't know if it's just me, but I've never had a modify or edit button after a post.

Is it just me with this problem?
I just tried it on this and it worked for me. In the past, it didn't show up when I was looking at my new post in the thread. But if I clicked on the topic (the bold "Re: Thread topic" in the top line of my post, then the post would reappear at the top of the screen and the modify button would be there in the upper right, for an hour or so after your post.
But now I don't even have to do that. I just looked at my post and there the button was was in the upper right. In fact everything you see here is a modification from my original post.
-
One comment...it's going to be annoying having flashing ads on all sides with the threads squeezed into the middle.
Yes, the new format is making me feel even more narrow minded than usual. ;D
-
I can no longer zoom into the page (Firefox Mac), it just zooms the text. Any hints on how to do this?
-
Maybe its my computer, or maybe its that the beautification hasnt been completed yet, but all the threads seem to be squished in on the sides. This means when there are photos, I have to use the scroll sideways slider to see it a bit at a time. Not optimal. It didnt used to be that way.
-
Is there a way to set up e-mail notifications when someone replies to a thread you've posted on? I looked through my profile but I'm not clever enough to figure it out.
Yes, It is in the notifications section of your profile.
-
Is Tapatalk working with the upgrade? I'm wanting to put it on my phone, but want to make sure it works first.
It is installed but it is throwing errors. I think it is a reverification issue but I have a ticket open with the developer. I hope to have that solved today.
-
I'm kinda missing the Recent Topics tab. :-[
There is (now) a new "recents" tab up top which combines all of the recent options into a single drop-down. There are other additions to the menu as well. I cracked something in the process which is only showing these options to users that are logged in but I hope to have this corrected for guests later today.
-

Weird, zoom is working for me on Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari and Opera. What version are you running?
-
Testing the edit button.
-
Thank you so much pdxmike. I don't know if it was always like that or not.
I feel like a total kook.

Mmmm, not quite yet. This is actually only showing for admins...but trust me it is really nice :)

Mine has always just seemed to be there for a bit after I post. After a bit it disappears and the gate is closed. Certainly had to be signed in but it was just always there. I have found it funny you were going around with out one, I think you even said it used to be there, and also strange there is another step for some to take.
Does everyone else have the syllable rhymer and thesaurus in the bottom left corner?
-
Over half the page is now being taken up by flashing ads, very annoying, can't see the time stamp on post as the right hand side is hidden by the flashing ads. Is there a way to disable the ads?
-
Zoom works in Firefox and Chrome. If you choose zoom in or out from the menu the increment is very small. If you do it via keystroke it's bigger--odd, but I tried several times and actually measured. I also found that checking "zoom text only" works well--it didn't work on the old site.
-
Fire fox and Apple gives me a narrow annoying newsprint look. The videos are half screen. What can I do to change the look on my set up.
-

Weird, zoom is working for me on Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari and Opera. What version are you running?
Firefox Mac 27.0.1, same deal in Safari.
The issue is that Zoom-In now only works on the text rather than also the frames, whereas I need to Zoom in on the whole page. The site appears very small on my screen, I have large gaps on either side of the frame, then the ads then a tim strip in the middle w the content. This happens all the time with my small laptop screen and high screen defn - but all i do is zoom in and i only need to do once. But zoom in does not work on the page for this new site, it is restricted to work on the text.
It appears the iFrames are fixed. Since only the stuff inside zooms, then the problem of photos or videos only partially appearing (and need to scroll left and right) start.
With fixed frames, zooming in on the text creates the issue SUPnKev is having. Try zoom out, SUPnKev, then photos and video won't need to be sideways scrolled.
Maybe its my computer, or maybe its that the beautification hasnt been completed yet, but all the threads seem to be squished in on the sides. This means when there are photos, I have to use the scroll sideways slider to see it a bit at a time. Not optimal. It didnt used to be that way.
I haven't found the trick to be able to zoom in to the page (is there one?). Maybe you could unlock the iframe sizes.
-
same problem as gorgebob
Gorgebob, if you zoom out you will see all of videos. But then everything is tiny.
Anyone know how to get around the issue that this site seems to restrict zoom to "zoom on text only"? (normally its the other way around. Zoom works on the page and one uses "Zoom on text only" to keep the Frames the same size and zoom into the frame contents)
-
So far so good.
I would like to see a feature that allows viewers to rate posts useful/ cool/ funny and a search function that allows you to find the most voted for posts.
-
Thanks for working on the site. There use to be a blogs tab to the right of the forum tab that I used pretty frequently to see find stories and what not. Is that somewhere I can not find it? Gone for good? Coming back?
Thanks,
Marta
-
Tapatalk is now working and is running their newest version. Older versions of the mobile apps may require updates to function.
The Top Menu should now be fully functional for all users including the "recent" tab and all of its drop down options.

What does taptalk do? I sometimes use a tablet, nook, and taptalk keeps advertizing thai I need it.

THIS. :(

Pleeze make 'em go away. Is it really necessary?
-
Recent posts are back! That's the only way I read standupzone.
Everything else looks great for me on chrome on a large monitor. No problems that others have had with ads interfering, etc.
-
The one problem I forgot to mention is that for some reason my posts are now mistakenly identifying me as pdxmike of all people.
Signed,

When I use my PC, every thing is fine, but with my nook tablet, the pictures don't display properly. The height is ok, but the width only shows about 1/3 of the the picture. This is the same in both landscape and profile. I can scroll left and right to see the picture. The pictures displayed fie in the old format.
-
tried to respond to two threads and kicked me off both times after I hit the post button.
Using chrome.
any thoughts?
-
Ok of course, when I ask for help now it works. Nevermind

Please let me know if you have this happen again. We were having a PHP limit issue which was set too low. I think that it is corrected but it will be very helpful if you guys report anything odd here until we get this fine tuned.

Fire fox and Apple gives me a narrow annoying newsprint look. The videos are half screen. What can I do to change the look on my set up.
We reconfigured the ads to free up the right side of the page and expanded the forum width to 97%. That should allow more real estate for content.
We test on as many browsers, systems and devices as we can but I only have two generations of the major browsers loaded and am limited to the devices we have here. The rest we count on your eyes for. :)
-
Thanks for dumping the right side banner and going with a top and left side banner. It's so much better. Exactly what I wanted to recommend. Now if we could have an edit a post timeframe and a mark as sold or move to sold classifieds folder:)

I'm with everyone else who has chimed in, the ads were awful on both sides, much better now no matter what Tex says.

Reeeeely minor detail, or just an observation~
When I glance down the general category, I see "Last post" and "Today" both in bold. With the old format, it was easy to spot the "Today" as it was the only thing in bold (assuming I remember correctly). I'm now finding myself clicking on headings that I think are from today and find that they aren't. It's my fault I know, that is because I'm used to clicking on the bold type for the latest.
Old habit, that will have to be changed? Maybe so.
-
A "delete post" would be cool also, with the same time limit as "modify".
-
using chrome and keep getting the little robot asking to kill the page or wait due to non responsive page-works sometimes and not others-site looks great though.

Pleased to see you back on the Zone SoCal. Is this still occurring now (as of the last few hours)? Anyone else? Kindly post up screen shots of the errors and let me know what device was in use and and where/how the error occurred. Posting, browsing, PM, etc.

Something funky like that with me too. I need to pay attention more to see if it is "broke" or if it is just different but I do notice something strange with the posts in the category area and at the bottom in recent posts. Seems the same when I go into a thread, signed in or not but it looks different before going into it. Seems it jumps around to "today" or a date that may also be today "3/5/14" or something. I notice the time stamp is correct when signed in now, never could get that right before. I think it defaults when signed out. I do notice the recent topics is different after I sign in than it is before I sign in. I don't think it is listing as many after I sign in. I will try and pay attention as I figured just different and not broke for the most part. Chrome Version 33.0.1750.146.

Can't get to zone from tapatalk with my Nokia 920. Installed the app searched for zone to no avail. Prolly smart phone newbie itis. Help!

Much better getting rid of the additional sidebar adds. There was way to much shite flashing and blinking.

No its not doing it anymore Admin.
-
Still flashing and blinking on my computer maybe more so.
-
Freeing up the right side makes it look more familiar, nice.
Will the video section be coming back?
-
Working now on a new classified area. You can view it as it progresses. All new listings will post as normal posts as well in the forum. Users can accept direct paypal payments, upload photos, leave item specific coments, do auctions, etc. More soon. http://www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php?action=classifieds

Hi Admin,
The site is looking better and better by the minute, thank you. Did I miss the answer to my question about the blogs button?
Marta
-
Thanks for minimizing the ads and the frequency of change. Slower still would be less annoying. Might even check one out. Tapatalk still wonk!

For Tapatalk did you try visiting Standupzone through the Tapatalk app or your phone's web browser? Please try both. I needed to clear cache (this is an option in the app) to get it to work on iPhone and iPad. Once running it is really solid.
-

Not sure about that yet. That and the blog page were very low traffic and they had become pretty dated. We would look for a better solution but my gut is not to fragment what we do to much. I would prefer a solution that ties into the forum (our core) better rather than sitting off to the side.

I'd vote for a blog roll.

Admin, Tapatalk app working fine on Nokia now. Never tried to use it from browser as tapatalk is native to Nokia. I'll take a crack at browser on tablet!

You guys really spiffed up the place. It looks real nice and thank you for all the hard work.

I'd vote for a blog roll.
There is some forum software that will dynamically take rss feeds from any rss source such as a blog and use that info to create forum posts in a selectable forum category (we could call it blogs) on site like the zone. It basically should create a title, one paragraph of content, one photo if it exists and a "more here" link. It would check all of the selected sites on a schedule and import the data. The same would work for videos. That would integrate the blog content right into the forum where it will get more use and add more value.
That is the hypothetical. I tried this earlier and it worked but it needed a lot of tweaking that I did not have time for. I will likely try to get this rolling during the summer.

I like that idea. I still go check the blog roll run by a few guys who have a long list. One site is specifically setup to monitor windsurf blogs http://danewsblog.blogspot.com/

Admin, Tapatalk app working fine on Nokia now. Never tried to use it from browser as tapatalk is native to Nokia. I'll take a crack at browser on tablet!
In the browser Tapatalk should prompt you with a "use Tapatalk to view this site" link bar if you stumble across a Tapatalk enabled site like the Zone. If you click the link it should open the site in the tapatalk app. If the link is not there you would either need to install the current version of the app or clear cache in the app itself.
-
I like that idea.
Stoked. The big issue we were running into before was the numerous ways that various bloggers were formatting and handling the elements we needed. It was too random to pull from consistently. We may need to set some parameters for the bloggers that wanted to participate so that we could reliably call on those page elements.
-
Southwest and DW, we need to get you guys some new Avatars. You look so sinister with those black X's. Apologies, some of the avatars did not make the journey with us.
-
The Avatar’s appears on Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer. I updated my Avatar and now it appears on both browsers. BTW, great job on the new design.

I did receive your Best SUP Ever order. I need to Bondo it once more before shipping. It is draining nicely and the finboxes went back in without a hitch. I hope you love it as much as I did.
-
+1 for the blog roll
And I want my blog on it - hahahahahah :P
-
Would it be possible to BOLD the type for the topic so it stands out from the Forum Category directly below it?
-
Really digging the new look of the site, I know an upgrade like this can be a pain in the @$$. Thanks for the work.

Kudos on the Tapatalk interface. Works really well from my tablet ( Nokia Windows based - surprise ) and from phone. I would not know how to clear a cache except with my monster snow blower!
-
Is there a secret code I need to list a classified?
I see kaya is smarter than me and got a classified posted, but I have been rejected 4 times.
Rejection makes me feel bad.... and when you feel bad, you buy too many SUP's.
And when you buy too many SUP's, you need to sell them cheap so you can buy another SUP
And when you buy another SUP, you feel good.
So please help me sell my 9'4 RAW so I can pay for my next SUP, and feel good.

Am I going to sound really stupid if I ask what a blog roll is?
Sounds like bad sushi to me.

Not a stupid question. You wouldn't know its called that unless you design a blog site.
http://danewsblog.blogspot.com/ go here. It's the list of blogs down the right side. It automatically pulls the RSS feeds and moves the newest blog post to the top of the page.

Please try again. The Forum Clock has been reset to PST. If that does not match your timezone you can sett an offset in hours in your profile so it will match exactly.

Some classified changes have been made. Should be less restrictive now.
-
Sometimes when I try to upload certain .jpg's then try to post, I get a server error. It's not the file size because I keep them in the 200k range. I'm wondering if it's the file name? Windows doesn't have a problem with a file like: Talldude's waste'n time.jpg , but your server OS might?
-
Hi Talldude. What is the pixel dimension of the largest side?
-
1743 x 956 .jpg 202 kb
-
The limit is 1500. It should forward you to a oversize notice page but this is a bit erratic. There is also a resize function that is even more fickle and browser picky. I would suggest resizing the image and trying again.
-
I'll pay attention to the 1500 pixel width limit from now on. I was focusing more on the file size. The problem seemed to happen more with my screen capture. The windowing on the capture was probably pushing the landscape limits. Thx.

I have tried every way I know how.... no luck listing in "Classifieds"

Admin

OK, I have found the (2) errors. We had also updated PHP, MySQL and Apache to their newest versions in preparation for the new forum software. That is awesome but a few lines of older code in this Classified mod have become deprecated. The developer is getting us some new code that will fix that. I will get this done quickly.
-
OK Creek, that code has been modified. Please try again (and thanks for the assistance).
-
TapTalk is working great. Love the quick reply!
Talldude
-
Hey Admin
here is the screen shot.
I tried to send it in a PM, but I don't know how to do pictures in PM's
-
Hi Creek,
Thank you!
The URL on the error message looks like the mod had a problem with the post to forum portion of the function. I will hunt down a solution. In the meantime your post did work. When exactly in the process did you get this error message? Are you able to add a photo now?
-
Hi Creek,
I think we found what this is. Kindly do a test post to classifieds for a fake product. Please do not use wording or images from your earlier entry. It should work fine.
-
Hey this may already be out there but how come we don't get our post numbers any more. I found that info useful as in how committed this person was in getting info (Pointed out "Lurkers")
JimK
-
Hi Jim,
Please let me know what post #'s you are referring to. Where were you used to seeing this info that it does not currently show?
-
Hi Admin - weirdness with tapatalk. Sometimes a little pin appears with a post and you cannot do anything. Invalid action response. For example in the classifieds there are mow duplicate entries - the ones with the pin are locked, and the ones without the hated pin I can read. Possible tapatalk newbie user error. This is all from my tablet which has a much nicer look and feel than my phone. Que pasta compadre?
-
At the bottom of your tapatalk app there will be a settings tab. Please select it and select clear cache. Lemmeno.
-
Cleared cache. The clearest example is classifieds. I get three listings creek kayadog and ichabod which I cannot open. Then there are three duplicate entries without the pin icon that work fine. Does this help?
-
And there is more. From my phone classifieds shop up as an option - you tap (hahaha) and
NOTHING is this related to creek issue. am not worked up bout this just trying to help find bugs was the BIOS marketing manager at Phoenix a million years ago that's not a bug that is a feature
-
AHA. THERE IS A LIST THAT IS LOCKED FOLLOWED BY DUPLICATE LIST THAT BEHAVES LIKE IT SHOULD! Everywhere...sigh

I am unsure what the locked list would be. That does not appear on Android or iDevices. You are able to use the app now though, correct?
-
Hi... sorry to report that my many, many attempts to load a picture to my classified all receive the same "error" notice
-
Hi,
Is this the same ad text from earlier or did you try a new test with sample text such as "test post"?
Please post the photo here.

I have tried within the framework of the ad post itself... always denied with included picture. Got the copy alone listed and just left it there.
Today I tried to add a picture under reply and under the more information button. No matter which way I go at it.... an attachment (Pic) kiils the deal.
I have no issues in other forum areas, adding pics or vids. I even changed my profile picture to test. All ok... except classifieds.

Hi Admin - The locked list displays an x icon and a pin icon. The unlocked list only displays the x icon. Any attempts to do anything with a post displaying the pin icon generates invalid action white bar going across entire screen on tablet. Classified section now has 4 listings sperman, supthecreek, kayadogg, and ichabod spoonbill. I have a list of 8 listings - the first four have the pin icon (locked) while the second four do not display the dreaded pin icon - only the x and work normally. This same pattern of a group of listings with the pin that are locked followed by duplicate set of listings minus the pin icon that work normally is everywhere. I original thought it was only on classifieds. Hope this helps. Nothing like a good science fair project. And classifieds do not appear at all on phone flavor no no Nokia windows..

Sounds like the developers spent a bit less time with the non Apple and Android apps :)
Unfortunately, I do not think I will be able to troubleshoot those issues.

Admin - Thanks for all of your help. Didn't think it was a trivial thing! Might look on tapatalk help, but it has been spotty in the past.

test w/ 129k pic was a no go

129 k - pic test = no go

Tried them all many times.... so far, no problems adding vids. I'm going to go add a picture to "Bail" thread as a test of my system

Test # 3 failed to this thread again... so it's just this thread and classified

well Bill, its good to know that yours works
Mine doesn't :(

Hi Creek,
Thanks for your help. Please rename the file and try again. Please also try another image with another name (both to this thread). I am guessing modsec at this point.
-
Sorry about running you ragged Admin....
I posted some picts that failed here in "Gear" as a review, and most loaded... some did not.
-
that was a JPEg 225KB
-
This is a renamed pic that failed everytime

The same pics I just uploaded in my classified had failed 5 min ago with different names... all JPEGs under 300KB
whatever you did... it works and I thank you!

Hi Creek,
No change on my end. We use hardening on this server called modsec. It is primarily designed to keep malicious behaviors down. It looks for patterns of user behavior that it matches to known methods of gaining illegitimate site access and blocks those. It works really well but also generates some very funny false positives. I think and hope that is what was occurring here.

I got pics on classified ;D ;D ;D ;D
Actually, you will want to post pics here http://www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php?action=classifieds;sa=view;id=18 so that they show up on the classified page (there is an edit files and pictures link at the bottom of the page). Direct forum posting of pics for classifieds will go away shortly.

What happened to the classifieds this am.....did I miss something? There's only about 10 adds in there today?

We have new software in place for that now. The base location is here: http://www.standupzone.com/forum/index.php?action=classifieds .
Listings will now auto delete after 7 days. This will also remove the associated forum post. This will help reduce clutter and confusion in that area.
Here are the new guidelines:

And of course they no longer exist on tapatalk! Can I post my windows no no Nokia tablet as a web surfer stand on? I want to crush it! LOL!

could that be true?
A week long classified to sell a board costs $9.95 ?????????????
Did I miss something?

Really should run for 2-4 weeks if that the case. I couldn't imagine it being overcrowded if listings were removed after 4 weeks even if free listings. I would think having to sort through a little bit would be better than just a few. Not a crowded beach but not a barren desert either.
-
Sure, lets revamp that and go a bit further. $3.95 for 14 days. Brands, shapers, shops, team riders, ambassadors and such will need to email prior to posting classifieds. We will have a separate rate for those users but this will give them an opportunity to post. This will not include existing site sponsors (the service will remain free to them).

Hello Zoners, so I used the New Classified section yesterday to sell a couple QB Paddles. I wanted to share my experience and provide a couple tips and offer my suggestion to improve this Zone option. My add was for 2 different QB Paddles priced different and I offered to toss in a Dakine Paddle Bag if the buyer bought both paddles. Creating the classified ad was mostly a simple process, the fee was minimal, and I was surprised at how easy it was to upload the photos. Here is where things went a little south in the experience, the ad provides a “Buy It Now” button and you need to enter in a price while creating your ad, so I entered a price for one of the paddles, when I reviewed the ad, it appeared that this price was for both paddles and the bag, I quickly went into the ad to make the edit, but by the time I got into the ad, a guest on the site clicked the “Buy It Now” button and made a payment to me for the price I listed (which was for the one paddle). Now the buyer being a guest could not PM me so we had to communicate via email, which luckily we did rather quickly so I could inform him he paid for only 1 paddle and if he wanted both I needed more money. The other issue at this time was providing a shipping cost as I had not gotten a quote to ship these paddles to the buyer. So after several emails I managed to send him the cost of shipping plus the additional paddle. Now I was amazed at how quickly these paddles sold (trust me it was a fantastic deal so I knew they wouldn’t last but wow they sold within minutes) so the classified section is still a no-brainer to sell your SUP goods, but I wish the ad provided either an option to use or not use the “Buy It Now” button, or to provide multiple buy it now buttons so you could factor in multiple cost options (such as shipping, add on items, etc). I also think there needs to be some sort of filter or security option to allow only the registered Zoners to use the “Buy It Now” button option and/or some sort of better communication for Guests looking to make purchases (not that my sale had an issue with a guest, but I would have felt more confident in the process had it been a registered Zoner).

Hi,
I apologize for issue with guests being able to bid or use buy it now. That was not our intention and it is now corrected. Guests can now view items but will need to register/log in to bid or use buy it now.
The quick sale seems to be the norm for well priced items. Many items are not making it a full hour :)
The buy it now button is optional. If that option is left at the default of $0.00 no buy it now is available to buyers.
We do ask that each listing include all items that are being offered at the set price. For instance if the listing shows a bag and board then the price should be for both items.
Thanks!

Has the pricing changed for listing a board? When I 'select now' for listing a board, the price comes up at 9.95?
-
Yes, it is currently $9.95.

I was the buyer. I was logged in when I hit the buy it now button at least I am pretty sure I was. Sorry I do not remember the exact details. I wanted to buy both the paddles and went into "fix it" mode about contacting you when it only showed only the one price. It was a very good deal that I wanted to make happen. Everything went very smooth though and thank you.

No Worries Ninja Tuna...all went very well....I think it came thru as a Zoner Guest rather than your Zoner name or I wouldn't have second guessed the transaction. I'm chalking it up to Classified 101 training for me since it was my first time using the new classified section (used the older version several times as it wasn't as complicated), plus I should have listed them separately in case someone wanted to buy one and not the other.
I also got burned once using Distressed Mullet's classified so everyone be wary selling anything on that site (lots of scammers on that site)...always deal w paypal or cash.
Ninja T..I'm sure you and your son will be stoked !!
Enjoy !!

Baddog..it was cheaper for the classified ad for the paddle section.
