New FerrariAds.com Comments...

Rob,

Very well done. I like the fact that the Ferrari Ads site mirrors that of Ferrari Chat. It is a very clean look.

Once again, congrats. Can't wait to see the new FerrariAds up & running.

Rob, is there a shortcut to "transfer" our ads to the new forum...or do we have to basically re-submit and up-load our photographs and information? Thanks, PeterB.

 

So no more sizing photos before posting? That is, the software takes care of all?

 

Sorry, I'm missing the obvious here. Have we switched to a new classifieds format? If so, where?? I checked FerrariAds.com just now and am not noticing anything new.

 

Rob, I didn't see an area for contact information and I'm not sure that my e-mail address will automatically default for viewers. I assume we must provide the contact info. of our choice in the description area.

I tried a few times to submit a "Wanted" ad, but the software wouldn't let me past step 2, it got 'hung up' on step 2. I did successfully place/transfer a parts ad though.

I viewed your ad and noticed three thumbnails appeared, and another with the red 'x.' On my ad, my thumbnail didn't appear (just the red 'x' attached image icon) until I clicked on "supersize me."

I'm a little slow on computers, so forgive me for this question: When logged in and viewing one of your own personal ads, the edit options will show up automatically for you... yes? I clicked on your ad and those edit options were NOT available to me. Am I understanding the format here?

 

Thanks Rob...I'll try in a few days to post my "wanted" ad again, when I do, I plan to post a photo of what I'm after as well...posting photos will be an option for "wanted ads," yes? PeterB.

 

Supersizing doesn't seem to do much with the images I uploaded. How big a file should I use?

Otherwise, GREAT!!!!

EXCELLENT!!!!

More categories would still be nice, but a big improvement.

I'd pay to get a listing on there.

Hopefully this will happen, this way those responding to the "wanted" ad can see what you're after, particularly if one is after a specific part with a design spec. that might be different, thanks to mid-year changes that occured often in the factory.

I agree, could the "supersize image" eventually be programmed for a larger display? PeterB.

 

take a peek when you get a chance, I ahve three ads on there. IF you try to supersize the image, it opens in a new browser, but at about 150% of the thumbnail, not really Supersized at all.

Agreed. just thought it might mirror the forum for Vintage, modern, etc.

Hi Rob, I sucessfully added my "wanted" ad , no picture option though. I'd sure like to see a photo option available for that in the future.

I edited my "air-injection plugs" ad, changing the photo. This worked fine, however, the "supersize" link wasn't present in my ad below the thumbnail. Just FYI, I'm sure you're still sorting out the bugs. Thanks for all your effort! PeterB.

 

Rob, I finally saw the new software in its "unbugged" format...blew my hair straight back. Thanks for "cleaning up" the Ferrari Ads! PeterB.

 

Rob,

I may the loner here but I really dislike the new classified layout. The old one was much neater and easier to use. It may have had less "wizz-bang" but that is what I liked about it. It sems too many people have fallen victim to making their websites "snazzy" but have forgotten that the key is simplicity, ease of assimilating information and moving around in the website.

On these counts I think the new setup is worse than the old. Just my opinion and probably wrong-but what the hey!
