changelog

Been a while since the last blog, but we performed some pretty significant updates on the backend that might cause things to break. If you run into any trouble, let us know on our support form

Well, if you come here somewhat frequently, you've probably noticed that the entire website has had a makeover, from the way things look to the way you post a listing on the site. We spent the better half of a week upgrading the backend of our system and during that process, we did some weeding... Pretty much all accounts that have not been accessed in more than a year, were removed and any post on the site that have not been live within (roughly) the last year, those were removed too. (We figured you probably sold the equipment by now)

I performed routine system updates today on the site. From what I can tell, everything should be working fine, but if you notice anything out of place, be sure to let me know.

I also finally enabled the ability site-wide, to upload more than one picture at a time. It requires the Adobe Flash player which most folks should have. Other than that, no big news!

Finally! The Image Grid block over on the left side of the page is finally fixed! It now takes you to the post of the image like it's supposed to! : ) For the longest time, it would just refresh the homepage and show an "a" if you put the mouse over an image... Now, if you click on an image, it takes you to the post that is tied to that image!

Well, after a long amount of time, I've finally had a chance to go in and do some pretty major backend updates to the site. While you won't notice much of anything being different, you will find that you can FINALLY unpublish more than one post at a time! That's been fixed : )

For those of you who have the "special" permissions of uploading more than one image at a time, I plan to roll out a "different" method that should play a lot nicer than the existing multi-image upload system... *crosses fingers*

I did some backend updates (again) nothing really to report on the front end of things other than increasing the number of images you can upload from 6 to 9 : )

There is one thing that isn't working (at all) that needs fixed but won't be fixed until later which is the ability to "unpublish" a post using the bulk method. You can publish them or delete them, but you can't unpublish them... However, you CAN still go into each individual post and unpublish them... (I guess one-at-a-time is better than not at all!!)

Well, I decided to get busy tonight and update the administration area of the "My Posts" in the account area. Basically, instead of editing a post to unpublish / publish it, you can do it all from the "My Posts" tab, along with Deleting posts! This should (hopefully) make things a bit easier for those of you who have a lot of posts to keep track of... (This applies to logged in accounts only)

I turned on the ability to view the posts of other folks on the site... I don't like the way it is laid out but at least it works for the moment... Basically, when you look at the user profile of someone else, (click on the link for their username) you will be presented with the following tabs: "view", "my posts", "posts", "contact". Even though you are looking at someone else's account, you can still see your own posts by clicking "my posts".

(This is assuming you are logged into an account... If you are not logged in, you will only see the "view" & "posts" tabs.)

I made some pretty major updates to the backend of the site today, mainly patching much of the system stuff that keeps things going. While most of the updates aren't really noticeable, there might be a few slight enhancements or changes. I also updated some things to the backend of the theme and I'm not sure if I got all the bugs worked out of it yet or not...

If you notice anything out of the ordinary or something isn't working right, please make sure to let me know so I can take a look into it further.

Well, I did a few updates to the backend of the site, mainly to the way the images are handled and the registration process. You shouldn't notice any differences, but if you are having any problems with either registering or uploading pictures, let me know so I can look into it further.

I also changed the post length from 45 days to 90 days about a week ago. If you have a post that is live, you can simply wait until it expires, then edit that post and re-publish it which will keep it live for an additional 90 days.
