    No such thing as a stupid question - as my Dad said

    only stupid answers :-)

    so, here's mine - why do some of the forums show a grey cross and some a yellow cross

    and

    if this is true - "100 posts - Enables access to Classifieds - Sell your stuff! - Please read read the rules for this forum before posting"
    - why can't I even see them?

    Am pretty sure it indicates that someone has posted on that forum recently.

    Welcome to HEXUS.

    As willzzz says, yellow crosses indicate threads containing posts that you have not read.

    Full details about using the bulletin boards are here.

    http://forums.hexus.net/faq.php?faq=..._threads_posts

    You will be able to read the specific rules regarding the use of the For Sale forums when you have reached the appropriate post count (100)

    Re: No such thing as a stupid question - as my Dad said

    No, you cannot see the forum until you have made 100 'useful and constructive' posts.

    Useful and constructive posts that add something go a thread or discussion, or help anothrr member. We sometimes get spammers who post one word posts or a phrase that has no relevance to the topic just to increase their post count.

    They don't usually succeed

    thanks - that's not very clear in the rules bit
    "100 posts - Enables access to Classifieds - Sell your stuff! - Please read read the rules for this forum before posting"
    perhaps you could modify it to say "access to see and post to Classifieds"
    :-)

    Because HEXUS does not exist to provide a forum for selling items. Thaqt is a bonus for members who have already demonstrated commitment to the forum by building up a posting history elsewhere, We occasionally get people who, haveing built up a post count legitimately, then restrict their activities to the 'For sale' forum. In that case, their access would be removed.

    'For Sale' is not a place for traders (or for selling at a profit). If you want to do that, there are online auction sites available. It is, as Madduckuk stated, a place to sell off surplus stuff that might be useful to other members. As you will discover... when you reach 100 posts

    Even if there was, you wouldn't have been able to buy it...

    ah so

    Clear as can be now, thanks

    The info given implies that you need 100 to sell . . .

    "100 posts - Enables access to Classifieds - Sell your stuff! - Please read read the rules for this forum before posting"

    But, it really means - until you get to 100 you can neither see nor buy nor sell?

    /\ my kind of dude.. keeps asking til it's clear

    welcome whoosh

    Right.. just do you know.. we had a glitch and it meant that SOME PEOPLE COULD see the For Sale forum before being able to use it... and the glitch still causes us issue from time to time, so we left the text like it is.
