boards.ie Launches Adverts Subsite

***Cloud*** · 25-04-2006, 10:49

Dear boards.ie members -

We are happy to announce the beta launch of our new classified adverts site:

www.adverts.ie

where users of our For Sale section can continue to post items for sale, but through a new interface focussed towards buying and selling items.

boards.ie has been very successful with its existing For Sale section, with nearly 45,000 items placed for sale, and with each item receiving an average of 7 replies regarding the sale.

As regards the existing For Sale section, all the categories have been replicated at the Adverts site, and boards.ie accounts will also work at www.adverts.ie. We envisage both services (new and old) running in parallel during this beta period, with a phasing out of the For Sale forums over the next few weeks; however a general Adverts forum will be opened for help, questions, etc. about the new service.

Please feel free to use this general Adverts forum (link below) to discuss the new service, and we hope this meets with your general approval.

Adverts Support

All the best,

The boards.ie Team

yay!

**Spocker** · 25-04-2006, 11:03

Excellent idea

***Beruthiel*** · 25-04-2006, 11:20

excellent stuff!

irlrobins · 25-04-2006, 12:09

Looking good. Hope this takes off. Well done Cloud et Al.

craigcharlie · 25-04-2006, 12:58

Wow, it looks great! I like the calendar and the front page layout.

Let me be the first to ask what's probably a stupid question... what's the reason for the changeover, or separating the two sites?

cheers,
C

Looks cracking lads, I wish you the best of luck with it.

PowerHouseDan · 25-04-2006, 16:02

Looks great, Nice interface and accessible...

Looks grand. Does the same charter apply? No traders etc? Or is it more like an ebay style thing?

**Random** · 25-04-2006, 23:53

That all looks very promising. Is it running out of the same database as boards.ie ? Or has it just had the user accounts copied over ?

Karoma · 26-04-2006, 00:01

Excellent stuff.

**Random** · 26-04-2006, 00:14

Might I just add that my first impressions are that it's a fine idea but it's a bit bloated ...

Captain Morgan · 26-04-2006, 02:18

Excellent stuff. Great idea.

gline · 26-04-2006, 11:26

great idea, id say this will attarct a lot more users now that just want to buy and sell

not too sure about the front page though, looks too comnplicated at the moment, just my opinion
