Kiteforum Update 2019

Hi Toby
Yes, a thumbnail would be great.
Cheers

I am sorry, that’s not possible with the forum software.

After all it’s a forum, the functions work like this.

Dont know if its already said but some cleanup at the second hand forum would be great. Seeing ads way back from 2010 and beyond.
Cheers

thx for the tip.

I set it to auto clean up. Will take some days to be active. Then it will keep deleting older offers automatically in the future.

Since I had some time I took care of it. All old stuff is deleted. In the future posts older than 60 days will be deleted.

This is both for Second Hand and Special Offers forum.

Thx for the tip

I find Second Hand and Special Offers forums little useful.
Reasons:
The post title never tells the country of the item. Sometimes even in the post description you can't find the location (very common in US sellers ).
Very little activity. I posted a used kite almost 3 months ago and it is still on the first page (0 replies and 0 private messages).

Local forums and apps work much better for buying/selling gear imo.

Regards!

the idea is to take them away. Minimizing all.

But note: I had another second hand section before, so this forum second hand didn't get used so much.

But I also think, if someone wants to sell something, he can also post in the kitesurfing, foil or hydrofoil forum.
It won't be annoying.

Special offers was only open for paying customers. Now it is open. The idea is that companies can post nice deals which would be good for users to see and save some bucks. If I had a shop, school, rooms for rent etc, it's a nice place to post for free now.

It pisses me off clicking each post to see the location of the products.

Why don't you do encourage people to write the name of the country in CAPS at the start of the post titles? It will save us tons of clicks and private messages asking for the location.

e.g.

UK - For sale: Kite RRD Obsession MK8 7m2 -2016 with 2017 RRD global V7 bar--600eur
Spain - Ozone Hyperlink 12m
US - Ozone Edge V9 7m

I will add an announcement on top of the forum requesting to add the country in the topic headline.
