Enotslliw Posted September 28, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have been reading this forum with great pleasure for years and now would like to use the facilities to reduce an accumulation of equiptment. Direct me please to a place that explains exactly and throughly how to place an advertisement. I can find no "place an ad" tab or flag nor when I "search" can I find explicit directions. I am certain that it is simple maybe even obvious so bear with me and give me some simple direction please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Hi Enotslliw, Take a look here placing classified ads. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted September 28, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2011 Go to the "Buy and Sell" tab, log in again if necessary, and click on the "Place an Ad" button on the left hand side. You are then guided through the steps necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enotslliw Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted September 28, 2011 Andy Thanks for the responce but when I click the "place an ad" button and then fill in the requested username and password the next page comes up telling me they are incorrect and offering me another chance, I do it again and the same thing...beginning to have an Alice in Wonderland feel to it.

andybarton Posted September 28, 2011 Share #4 Posted September 28, 2011 Try logging in before you start to place the ad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enotslliw Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share #5 Posted September 29, 2011 Sure I have done that Andy...I have been trainded to think computers do not make mistakes operators do so have gone through the process many times. I am considering signing up under another user name with a new password...starting fresh...maybe fool Alice. Will Stone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted September 29, 2011 Share #6 Posted September 29, 2011 Will, I believe there is a separate registration and login process for the buy and sell section, probably because your address is required. It isn't for general forum membership. If I'm right, you have to make a fresh registration to buy and sell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 29, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 29, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) You need to log in again because the b&s section software is a separate database from the main forum. Your user name and password are the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted September 29, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 29, 2011 Did someone flip a switch? All of a sudden I can log in to buy and sell using my standard LUF details, which I couldn't do half an hour ago and have never been able to do before.

andybarton Posted September 29, 2011 Share #9 Posted September 29, 2011 I wouldn't think so. I have always been able to log in etc using my standard details. That's how Andreas set it up in the first place, so that it is easy to use. It could be a database corruption or other software glitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enotslliw Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share #10 Posted September 29, 2011 I have gained access by supplying another user name and a second email address (different from the one the forum originally required). Is this the general experience? Will Stone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 29, 2011 Share #11 Posted September 29, 2011 No, that shouldn't be necessary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enotslliw Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share #12 Posted September 29, 2011 I am a General Contractor....restoring stately old houses for the past 30 years. I never expect anything to go according to plan. There is alway a contingency plan...often futile but none the less an alternate. I have been successful placing the ad but it leaves off the price. All the editing opportunities have been utilized. There must be something I am missing here. I am detirmined to sell this equiptment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted September 29, 2011 Share #13 Posted September 29, 2011 I think something is amiss. My ability to log into the buy and sell section was shortlived. I can no longer do so using the standard LUF login details. I haven’t changed any browser settings since this morning when it worked briefly. This is the message I receive: I am sorry, but your username or password is incorrect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted September 29, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 29, 2011 Have you sent a PM to Andreas (admin)? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted September 29, 2011 Share #15 Posted September 29, 2011 Not sure if this might be of any help ... I've the same username for both LUF and B&S Section but have different passwords on both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted September 30, 2011 Share #16 Posted September 30, 2011 The same here. When you change your password on the main forum the password of the B&S does not change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted September 30, 2011 Share #17 Posted September 30, 2011 The same here. When you change your password on the main forum the password of the B&S does not change. Using an old password that I no longer use to log into the forum site did the trick. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
