Title: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: gliy on Wed, 18 July 2012, 20:49:11: Hi I cannot see the classified section when I am logged in, but I can see it when I am browsing while not on my account.
Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: retsteel on Wed, 18 July 2012, 21:14:00: It looks like you now need to have a certain amount of "experience" to access that part of the forums.

Quote from: mkawa
Once you accumulate enough experience, you will automatically be allowed to view the commercial portion of the forums.

Post by: tobr1an on Wed, 18 July 2012, 21:15:35: Wonder how much experience is need ??
Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: ChaoticKinesis on Wed, 18 July 2012, 21:32:14: As do I. Wonder what happens to those who were participating in group buys and cannot access the forum.

Edit: Looks like after this post I do have access to them. How odd.
Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: gliy on Wed, 18 July 2012, 22:06:00: this is dumb, I've bought a keyboard before from a member of the forums. Why should my trust be based on how much I post.
Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: precarious on Wed, 18 July 2012, 22:46:01: What's up my experience getters?
Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: komar007 on Thu, 19 July 2012, 04:23:44: It seems the access to commercial part doesn't depend just on the number of posts. ChaoticKinesis has access, and I don't. I have more posts.

EDIT: okay, apparently you have to be a "Jr. Member" and have at least one post on the NEW geekhack.
The status changes only after the first post on the new forum.

Post by: Inochi on Thu, 19 July 2012, 08:29:27: I'll take it that this also applies to the Group Buy section. Well, time to find out.
Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: malelan on Thu, 19 July 2012, 09:11:00: posting here, because somehow i lost my account, and experience, and was participating in a group buy that i cannot see anymore.

Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: malelan on Thu, 19 July 2012, 09:19:59: is it 10? i really dont want to spam this thread! haha
Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: modus on Thu, 19 July 2012, 09:43:08: It seems to be more than 10, as those subforums have disappeared for me as well. Outside of possibly laying out what enough 'experience' entails (I haven't looked too hard), it is not too huge an issue for me. I can, however see it causing problems if one was already a part of an ongoing group buy when this changed occurred.

edit: disregard that. suddenly i have access.

Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: Kelsin on Thu, 19 July 2012, 13:40:29: Yeah I wanted to check the status on group buys... I've also participated in two group buys AND bought my first Filco on these boards... but now can't access those sections? That seems incredibly stupid. Hopefully after this post I get access?

EDIT: One post wasn't enough I guess?

EDIT: Had to post in another thread too... well or it just took time, either way 2 posts later I can see the other boards.
Title: Re: Classifieds not visible when logged in
Post by: Striketh on Thu, 19 July 2012, 13:48:11: Ah, I was wondering the same and found this topic. I guess this a limitation of transferring data to the new forum.

I don't know but 7bit_R4 needed 20 posts to be able to view and edit the first post in the largest Group buy thread (Round 4)!

It is totally stupid to lock out lurkers from the Group Buy section.

Post by: mvh11 on Tue, 24 July 2012, 16:39:29: This 10 post limit really isn't helping and just contributes to spam(and doesn't help much with trust either).

Just let anybody view the classifieds and buy stuff, but require certain credentials(time registered and post count?) to let people sell so yo know you are dealing with a reputable member and can trust them to ship you an item after they receive payment.
