CLASSIFIED ADS -- How To/Editing

Solution Until this note is changed, TM members can post their classified ads in the "Classified" section at no charge.

Click the "Classified" tab on the top main menu.
When the page comes up, you will see your own ads if you have them. If you have not posted ads you will see just a white blank screen with a left side panel. On that panel you will find choices of viewing friends ads or all site ads. You will also see a choice to create your own ad if you wish.

To create your ad, click "Create new Classified Ad" on the left side panel. You will create your ad just as you would create a post in a group discussion, however, you will have more choices to consider at the bottom of the screen.

POSTING A PICTURE TO YOUR AD
You can import a picture from your own computer or add a picture URL.
PLEASE NOTE: YOU and not TM are responsible for any copyright violations if you use someone else's picture without permission.

To post a picture, please make sure you have it saved as a JPEG (jpg) image. You will also need to make sure that the picture is sized accordingly. A picture that is around 100 - 150 pixels on each side is a perfect size to post.

If you do not know how to size a picture, please ask site admin for help until instructions can be posted on the help desk.

Pictures will show up in the top center of your ad screen when you submit your post.

If you make a mistake and need to repost your picture, you will need to delete the whole ad to do it over. Please make sure you have a copy of your ad before you delete it to redo. It's a drag having to write a whole ad over again!

SETTING PRICES
Prices are your choice, of course. Do note that if you give any specifics on a special such as "TM exclusive price" please make sure that you have spoken truthfully. Anyone found posting a libelous ad will find their ad deleted. We expect honesty from our members. Any product listed as "free" which forces the customer to opt in to any service, newsletter, etc - must include "See Details" after the word "FREE" with an explanation on the ad telling what actions are required to order.

CATEGORIES
You must choose a category for your ad. They are fairly self-explanatory but if you have a question about which category to choose you may best choose the "general" category. Any ad found miss-categorized will be moved to the correct category.

ACCESS
You will have to choose an access for your ad.
"Public" means just that. Anyone viewing the site can see a public ad. The other "accesses" are self explanatory and limit the people who will have access to seeing your ad.

EDITING OR DELETING A CLASSFIED AD
When you click the "Classified" button on the menu, you are taken to your own ads. To edit or delete your ad you must click on that particular ad. Once the ad page comes up, scroll to the bottom and you will see the choices "delete" and "edit" at the bottom left hand side of that page. Click the appropriate action. You will get a pop up asking if you are sure you want to delete the ad. This feature makes it impossible to accidentally delete. If you wish to edit the ad, please remember that you will need to delete the whole ad and start over if you need to delete or change a picture, so copy as necessary to avoid having to re-write the ad.
