Broughton Audio Super Thread

Keyword alerts are a casualty of the new version of TalkBass. I suspect that has a great deal to do with slower sales. I used to have around 15 keyword alerts and would pop into the classifieds whenever I got received an email triggered by one of those alerts. Now I never look at the classifieds. I'm not about to scroll them every day in hopes something I want is there. Just not how I like to spend my time.
 
Hey, y'all--got a new TB navigation question.

I've been a subscriber to this thread from before the great update. I used to get alerts when anybody posted here...but now I don't. I checked my "watched threads" list, and I'm still subscribed.

Is there a button I gotta push to get an alert when there are new posts here?

I've heard if you unwatch and then watch again it fixes this, but that has not been the case for me. If you get an alert and don't check it, you won't get another one.

What worked for me was going to your settings under your avatar, then to preferences. Under "Alerts" there's a box to tick that says "Never mark alerts as read"

I seem to be getting all of my notifications now, but they don't clear out unless you visit them from the notification or manually mark them as read.

Sales still seem to be slow in the classifieds. Posted a bunch of stuff this week. Only moved one so far. I suppose I could be priced high, but it didn’t look like I was based on recent reverb/TB sales.

The market is poorly represented. Even searching remains ineffective in many cases.

The "Upgrade" killed the classifieds & I suspect economic uncertainty may also be driving some to cut out discretionary spending.

Now it seems that only the vultures respond to listings even when priced aggressively.

I never thought I'd say this, but Reverb may now actually be a better place to sell gear. Not because they improved a darn thing, but because TB has gone to 💩.
