If I buy a cuppa does it stop the pop up popping up everytime?BTW, here's a link to Buy Us a Cuppa as a way of saying thanks for providing the Trading Post free of charge
I get that, but does it need to constantly pop up everytime?Its to make sure people actually read ( the new) rules
so many never do. and never have

Don't knock the pop-up. They were discussing tattooing them on the inside of peoples eyelids earlier.Its a trial thingy, we are looking at effective ways to get people to actually read the rules,I get that, but does it need to constantly pop up everytime?

Exactly. Once to accept is fine but each time you click on a post is a bit annoying to be honest.I get that, but does it need to constantly pop up everytime?
The point is though, a lot of people dismiss notices without actually reading themExactly. Once to accept is fine but each time you click on a post is a bit annoying to be honest.
And there in lies the problem. Hot topic posts and Classified breaches posts are pretty much equal in the amount of RTM'sthere is no need to make it annoying for the majority who do actually follow the rules (i think!).
No, had a quick squizz and then tried to look at another post only to see it pop up again, and tried the same again and it popped up again. Then I gave up.The point is though, a lot of people dismiss notices without actually reading them
I assume that you read it?
Good, it did as it was intended
However as above to Bob, it may change in due course.
May be as a mod you have a different view but considering the amount of window shopping I do, can't see why it's such a big issue.And there in lies the problem. Hot topic posts and Classified breaches posts are pretty much equal in the amount of RTM's
Has this actually made you look at the up dated rules?
Yes? Brilliant
No? well it'll stay there for awhile yet.
I can easily read it in 30 secondsNo, had a quick squizz and then tried to look at another post only to see it pop up again
Maybe its a ploy to get people posting in other area's,Then I gave up.
I’m guessing I may not be the only one who would do that either ;-)
CoolYes made me read rules
They have been simplified. Mostly the rules were not followed anyway,which seems to have been watered down. A little disappointed in that respect tbh with you.
but there is a massive following that never leave the sales areas.
Cool

these are very basic and even the most hardened rule breakers will have trouble breaking these.
(and will be in trouble if they do)
No livestock.Now I can sell Hugh Jackman in sales.
I'm tempted.....
That's pretty much the way they were written 15/16 years ago.They seem to have been written for sellers more so than buyers.
As above we are experimenting at getting a ( any given) message across,Why not have then pop up when you post a new thread,
more seriously the following rules (or rather lack thereof) I feel would affect us the most:No livestock.
And wolverines are livestock
So can I… I just don’t want to have it pop up every time I look at a post in the classifieds.I can easily read it in 30 seconds
Now I've read it 15 times, I've got it down to less than 20 seconds......I can easily read it in 30 seconds
Most of the feedback is negative......how's that working well?This seems to be working well, due to the amount of feedback that's coming through.
Deal with that then, rather than annoying everyone with an obtrusive pop up....but there is a massive following that never leave the sales areas.
Because it's feedbackMost of the feedback is negative......how's that working well?
How you suggest? ban them from the area?Deal with that then, rather than annoying everyone with an obtrusive pop up....
We are supplying a "notice board" for people to buy and sell, that's all we are doing.more seriously the following rules (or rather lack thereof) I feel would affect us the most:
- no calling dibs
- exchanging address and phone details (I know in the past some sellers refused and it was nice that the rules mandated it, now they don't!)
- price pointing without offers
that's on top of my head, I am sure there are other annoying behaviours that'll resurface and what once was a pleasant place to buy and sell may not be so.....
I hope you at least reconsider re-instating the exchange of details rule if not the others.
Have some level of ongoing post requirement to retain access to classifieds?How you suggest? ban them from the area?
However when the techy guy, Chris, clocks on I will ask him to revisit the pop up notice,
and reduce the frequency that it appears.
Its likely to be something like thatHaving it pop up once a month/fortnight would be fine in my opinion
So we saved you a fortune then?A great idea to have a pop-up in the Classifieds section, but it was driving me nuts running all the time everywhere.
It forced me to block it altogether.

I just tested it, and it fully collapses, and stays that way even after a few page refreshes,Looks like I spoke too soon - it seems to have re-expanded overnight.
