The new marketplace

Due to popular demand, the marketplace forum has been replaced with a new marketplace that is not a forum but a purpose-built place for buying and selling.

The old marketplace forum is still there, and people can still respond to the old discussions there, but new ads should be placed on the new marketplace. 

There's a "Marketplace" link in the horizontal menu at the top of the page, and a box in the right-most column showing the last 10 ads.

The new marketplace has a few bugs, but we hope to iron them out over the coming weeks. Let us know what you think.

Hrmmm disliking how the marketplace takes a lot longer to load than the old marketplace. Would rather it had been like the forums page but with links to sub sections. Though I guess its a lot cleaner overall good work.

Yeah I think sellers will be answering the same questions a lot more since there's no discussion.

Can somebody please explain the problem about not receiving the email?

Ive updated Javascript and all, tried Hotmail and Gmail and neither work..

The new marketplace is less "social" than the old one. That doesn't suit some people, but in my opinion it's already greatly improved the site. It's actually possible to talk about skateboarding again without your thread disappearing off the end of the Latest Activity in minutes due to a tsunami of WTS and WTB.

Cents, I don't think sellers will have to answer the same questions over again, and if they do it'll only be because they didn't include necessary information in their ad.

Connor, as for email being inconvenient because people's inboxes are swamped...stop subscribing to millions of emails from ASRA/Facebook etc., and if you want all those emails, use email filters to organise your inbox.

Jordan, so far a couple of people say they haven't been able to receive emails from the marketplace - I have no idea why at this stage.

i like it but is there a specific reason it opens in a new window when you open it? and yeah it is a bit slower and i think the no commenting thing will take a bit of time to adjust to, but overall it looks good Bugs!

If you want to be really smart just make a new email specifically for dealing with ASRA stuff.
Point of it was to keep the forums free of trades so they could be used for actual discussion again without WTS and WTB ads being bumped and pushing down any real topics of discussion to the bottom of the page.

I mean like people have email accounts that they sign everything up to and never check then use a different email for personal stuff. I guess you could just change it so the emails from here goes to the one you read... Haha nah but over all its a great idea... I used to always be in the marketplace now i almost never open it. Was that the whole point of making a new one? To keep annoying smelly grommets out haha
