Fisher15 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I was looking at the forum both yesterday and today, and only about 3 posts we NOT from the Golden basket. Maybe they should have a site of their own or at least a subforum for selling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylorhardy1 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) The thing is he's selling corals under auction format so it gets really messy when you try to have people bidding on a half dozen corals on one thread and things tend to just get jumbled. I think instead of giving gb a sub forum, it would be better to just add a new forum under classifieds just for auctions.

Manny Tavan Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Could the auction posts be in the sponsor forum? Would suck to lose access to great corals sold locally Golden basket has it's own subforum in the sponsors section http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/forum/24-golden-basket/ Edited February 1, 2018 by Manny Tavan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youcallmenny Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 It was all under classifieds but if you're using the 'home' tab then it definitely is a flood. Rudy has the best coral though so maybe if you can't beat 'em... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
503reefland Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I don’t think it’s a flood.... I am happy to have it “flood” my screen lol 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertareef Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Good feedback. I have been wondering if there is possibly a better way to facilitate this activity as I think it is great for the club to have access to some exclusive auctions (especially for those of us who don't frequent other platforms) but it would be nice to find a way to help keep it organized. I will post something in the officers forum and reference this thread to see if we can come up with something that might work better for everyone. In the meantime... I am going to enjoy the opportunity to snag some awesome frags while I can 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paratore Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I totally get why it seems flooded, and I agree there is probably a way to fix it. [emoji4] but it’s super nice having access to sweet deals that outsiders don’t. Helps keep pricing down for locals. So in reality, Rudy is doing everyone a favor lol. And I would be interested to see any solutions that come up. If we find a solid way to do this that helps keep thing “clean” I would consider posting my own auction also [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that anything that provides a benefit to club members and sponsors (and I think access to local auctions does) is something we should try and find a way to support so hopefully our crack technical support team can offer some organizational solutions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Thanks for the input everyone. I’m not an IT person. I agree I think it is great for the local members to have access to these auctions without competing with the entire national Facebook market but the formatting needs to be different so that it’s not filling the entire forum with classifieds. This is the reason we only allow one classified post per member at a time. Both excellent points on both sides. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash21 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I agree, Rudy begin the Flooding again Please. It’s all about the Corals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Thanks for posting up this thread there was great feedback. TheClark (whose real name is Jeremy by the way) our admin wiz kid made some changes and it looks better to me already. In a few hours he made some format adjustments and it should work better for everyone! Thanks again Jeremy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I was just griping about this yesterday, as the place began to look like Rudy's personal Auction house. Glad to see the adjustment looks much better! Though if there is a way to adjust the amount of Sponsor & regular topics, Sponsors post less frequently, so it wouldn't hurt to have the majority on the front page regular posts rather than 1/2 & 1/2 Either way I'm satisfied with the changes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a good point - I wonder if we can control the number of topics that show for each section so we can bias toward one or the other. @TheClark do you happen to know the answer to that? Sounds like we are having to define the feeds so maybe we have some flexibility with the display options? If you want to let me know what plugin we are using I could try and research that (in all my spare time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scroll down a bit, and you'll see a second section of recent posts that are from our sponsors. You can also check any particulars sponsor's subforum if you don't see what you're looking for on the homepage. Hope that makes sense, but let us know if not. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
