classified ad issues

[Thumpin6string]

I have 2 wanted ads and both are missing the original post. So basically, empty ads other than the bumps. Did they get deleted in the so called upgrade? Also, all my ads no longer have my signature on them. What happened to it?
Why are there no specific sections in the classified anymore? Another so called upgrade??

Can confirm that, even without ever seeing your Wanted ads before, at the very list the second one in your signature is nothing but "bump" posts.

Re the classified sections: I was missing this too, but don't click the drop-down arrow to the right of the Classifieds menu item at the top of the screen, but actually click on the word Classifieds. It brings up a page with sections in a left nav panel.

If you are on the classified page, click the little symbol with 3 dots and 3 horizontal lines near the top. Then you can see the categories. Not sure about your other questions.

Ads are not showing item locations, either.

Only 4 comments in this thread, and (at least for me) three banking banner ads, and a car dealership banner ad.

Not sure why your wanted ads aren't showing, when others are https://www.talkbass.com/classifieds/mounting-bracket-for-genz-benz-shuttle-9-0.1598693/

There are classifieds categories. On mobile hit the menu bar on left.

Classified ads will no longer show signatures, because it's an entirely new system (it is not a "forum" with "posts" that show signatures). There is in the sidebar a "more ads from xyz" if you're concerned with showing your other ads to folks.

how can settings be changed to show more ads per page?

feels like i have to hit the next page button after five or six ads…

thanks

There seems to be an issue with posted content on for sale threads. I have threads that I know members have responded to but when I open one (after waiting 2 minutes for it to load, FFS) there's just my listing and no replies. Even when I use the drop down menu by my avatar (top right) to see my "current happenings" history and can see that someone has replied to a for sale thread, when I click on the link the thread just has my original post, no replies.

This is a problem. I come here mainly for the classifieds. If buyers and sellers can't communicate effectively, other than PM, it's going to hinder the process considerably.

Tons and tons of previous sales ads are missing. The Feedback page no longer lists the transaction link. All the visible ads, even ancient ones, are listed "for sale" (no "sold" or "no longer available" indicators). The ads that do appear, none of them have a thread. None of my transactions from this year and last year can be found.

I posted above about not being able to view replies to for sale threads. Well, it turns out you can but for some reason they are at the bottom of a column of my other listings (which is odd enough), then followed by several other seemingly random for sale posts. This is bizarre! Does it not make more sense to group comments related to the post directly under the post itself... perhaps to be then followed by a sellers other listings? Maybe I'm still not familiar enough with all of the "newness" here but I tried this with a couple of my listings and got the same result. It just makes no sense to me.

I just checked my wanted ads again, and now the ad and all but the last reply is gone. My other wanted ad has totally disappeared. I pay for a supporting membership so I can post ads here. I don't pay to have them removed by an "upgrade". So, can this be fixed or are my ads gone forever?
