Sorry for the downtime yesterday someone managed to place malware on the site.
Thankfully have managed to get the site fixed. Had to upgrade the forum software hence the change in layout.

Special thanks to Jonathan Bull - www.hoaxmail.co.uk who helped me fix the site.

Hi Leo,
How do we leave a feedback for someone on completion of a transaction?
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: Howzat on December 30, 2009, 11:06:24 AM
Unfortunately thats one of the things that has been lost and is not compatible with this new version of the forum

The forum looks alot smarter now, which is what we like to see.
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: yvk3103 on December 30, 2009, 04:17:13 PM
I agree. We have lost a few things, but the forum looks really very smart and professional.

Leo, this layout seems to be missing the part where we could see who all were on a particular topic. Is this something we have completely lost due to the change or is it something that is being worked on?
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: yvk3103 on December 30, 2009, 04:18:53 PM
Leo, jut to add can we have the navigation tabs at the end of the page as well? If someone is reading the last post on the page then he has to scroll to the top to navigate away from the page

Thanks Glad you like it, Im sure I will be able to bring back the active members thing on the topic.

Not 100% sure what you mean, can you explain more please?
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: yvk3103 on December 30, 2009, 06:02:11 PM
Leo, if you look at the top of the page on this topic it goes:
Custom Bats Cricket Forum » Forum news and suggestions. » Forum Announcements » Forum 

So you can click either on Custom Bats Cricket Forum or Forum news and suggestions. or Forum Announcements to naviagte to to new section or homepage etc.

If we have it at the bottom as well then it will save a lot of trouble of scrolling to the top of the page in case someone is reading the last few posts in a topic.

The "sponsor's" banners at the top of the page aren't working.. all the links have a forum address before their site address
example black cat banner links to - http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/www.blackcatcricket.co.uk instead of www.blackcatcricket.co.uk

Trader feedback system has been added again :D

The best news being all feedback has been salvaged... view someones feedback on their profile. After each deal you do with a forum member leave them feedback.
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: tommy2tink on March 24, 2010, 07:04:53 PM
I think it's great that you added the trader feedback system again. Do people get notified when you leave them feedback? Since I've found that for 3 or 4 recent transactions where I've paid very promptly and (justifiably) left positive feedback, I haven't been given any - positive or negative.

Basically, are people still using it?

Post by: procricket on March 24, 2010, 07:06:49 PM
i have sold quite a bit and given some stuff away and bought lots and still nothing but i to be honest mate do not care for it
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: tommy2tink on March 24, 2010, 07:07:51 PM
Fair enough, I was just wondering whether in future there was any point me bothering with it or do people take no notice of it?
Title: Re: Forum

hardly not unless your in the click i suspect bud

Can't wait for the day when Procricket starts moaning hes been ripped off... should have checked the feedback
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: procricket on March 24, 2010, 07:22:31 PM
Hey it has happened on here leo but i have left feedback for everybody i think but none left for me???
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: Howzat on March 24, 2010, 07:25:35 PM
PM the people you have done deals with and ask them to leave some. I think its better for everyone if we all leave feedback that way people can see how reliable a person is before they do a deal.

If anyone has done a deal with me can you leave me some feedback plz
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: procricket on March 24, 2010, 07:31:06 PM
does this count for thing bought as well as swapped and sold???
Title: Re: Forum
Post by: Howzat on March 24, 2010, 07:39:10 PM
When you add feedback it asks you whether it was a trade or sale
