Even though we have not allowed threads replies to classified ads for over a year, we still get lots of questions about it. So, I thought a tutorial was in order. Let's say you found a car that you want to buy and you need to get a hold of the owner to offer some ridiculously low sum for his vehicle. Easy. First, just click on his username like this: That will bring you to a pop up. On that pop up, just click "start a conversation" like so: From there, you can have a private conversation with the owner. Enjoy!
Wow! With this new H.A.M.B. it makes one more thing I have to learn. We just installed new computers at work and with all the updates my brain just might explode. I think a good cold beer or six every night for the next month will cure it though. It's gonna be one heck of a ride!
What if you also cannot start a private conversation with the seller? " The following error occurred: Participants: You may not start a conversation with the following recipients: <name> " What then?
Yea,what He said. Im intrested in RICH B 'S f2 brakes,and for the life of me,I tried everyway to contact him and cant .Bring back PM'S
You might have noticed that I tested each of your accounts. Each test worked... So, give it another try. Maybe we were working on the feature when you guys got errors. Also, check out the tutorial on conversations that I just finished here.
Just figured out what I was doing wrong! Sorry,Ryan for the drama. It is actually easier than it looks!!
Ryan When I click on the members name it brings up a pop-up but nowhere on the pop-up is "start a conversation". Am I doing something wrong? Greg
I get enter a valid question also. I have tried for an hour and cant get through. I have probably lost the chance to buy now. Please bring back PM's
how about putting a ICON - reply. that way you haven't have to have people SEARCHING for a way to contact someone, or continue to work like the gov't. back, how about adding a SEND button also. think i'm frustrated - as of now 1,378 people have to find this thread. to figure a simple response to a seller out.
A little confusing, I just tried to ask a seller a question about a part. Did the "start a conversation" thing, all seemed to go well ...but when I was looking for a "send" option after previewing my question, the only choice was "start a conversation" ? Seems like reinventing the wheel to me ? What's wrong with "send" or "reply" ? Appreciate your work... I'm not complaining .......it's like my "so called smartphone", it takes 1 or 2 extra steps to call, answer or end a phone call, are we all going backwards now?
Change is not always good. Bring back the old method of PM's. Just tried to respond to a classified ad per the instructions. Nothing seemed to happen!
I have been trying to contact Russ_B_10 for a month with a few different conversations started about a current add he has running with no response. I believe I did it right,but with no response after that many tries ,I don't know if the messages went through. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank You, funk 49
Hi Joe, I have been looking for some American TTO's for a while. I am working on a '53 Ford F-100, and as you know the BHP for these pickups is is 5 on 5-1/2. Your wheels and tires look to be in very good condition, and I believe your price is reasonable. You call them 'old school'. Does this mean they are bias-ply tires? How are the sidewalls - any cracking? Now this may be a long shot, as I live near Blacksburg Virginia and you have indicated you want to sell your wheels/tires to someone who will pick them up. It's not that I wouldn't drive to get them (Google indicates about 12-hours, one-way) but with the holidays fast approaching there's less time for long trips, and with the weather getting bad, it could be an iffy proposition until Spring. Having said that, do you think you might consider shipping them? I can give you a call if you want to discuss. Thanks, Jim Coffey 'RoadScholar' Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
(You have insufficient privileges to reply here.) Why is that at the bottom of all of the classified ads that I am interested in? (You have insufficient privileges to reply here.)
Every time I try to post a ad it says I don't have enough permission to do so. I got a car I want to sell. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks! Dawson 1939 Willys Sedan
Are you trying to do it from the APP? If so that is your problem as classifieds are not compatible with it. You have to access it form the browser on your device if that is how you are trying to do it.
well to start off with i am not that thrilled with the new way of contacting someone that has something to sell. also at the bottom of the page that has the item i am interested in it says that , i have, insufficient privileges to contact this person. what is that all about? what have i not done to be able to contact someone?
When you click on the name it pops up the persons profile. Within the profile at the bottom "start a conversation " is listed example...... Profile Page Start a Conversation Follow Ignore View Trading Profile
everytime i click on "start conversation" it opens up my file folders dialogue box. i am unable to start conversatations...can you check my account. i still get alerts and i used to be able to engage in conversations in the past. thank you
I found someone looking for a set of 34 Ford running boards. Filled out what I had but nowhere is a send or reply. What do I need to do?
