I'm unable to post a new FS thread. Other than the 50 post thing (which I'm well over) is there any other qualification I'm not aware of? When I go to the forum it says I don't have permissions but can post new in other forums. Never had a problem before.
FYI: I'm on PC.
Directionally challenged...comicly so.
Not all who wonder are lost...But I'm probably just lost.
Yes, there is more you have to do and the guidelines in the FS area are very different than they used to be. Please read the two links at the top of this page, then check out the Q&A and tip & hints (sticky at the top of the FS area). They should get you started. If you have additional questions, please PM me.Originally Posted by HomeMadeHiker

When I click the link at the top of this thread, it takes me to a page taking about day bags... Is that correct?

Would Tapatalk be too blame?
There are more than one link to click. Can you be more specific?
If you are trying to get to "posting in the Forsale forum" or "joining and maintaining your thread" then yes I believe your taptalk is sending you to the wrong link.
Here are the direct links to the FS rules:
https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...rum-guidelines
https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...or-sale-thread
Although I don't know the specifics but if you only access the forum with TapTalk you will have issues with the For sale forum. Best to get on a real computer or switch to a web browser on your phone. hth
I know it's been a couple of months but I wanted to follow up in case other users have this issue too.
Tapatalk did that to me this morning as well. I think it's because the links are clipped (contain the ellipses.) From the FS Forum Guidelines thread, the first link goes to this page - Blackbishop's Sack. The second link sends you to this page (Homemade Asym Tarp).
The correct links are:

Creating and Maintaining Your For Sale Thread
It looks like the forum has different numbering systems for Threads and Announcements. Tapatalk gets confused and sends you to Thread #156 instead of Announcement #156. I'd imagine that any links directly to that feature (like the quicktips articles) would also not work properly on Tapatalk.
It took me too long to figure that out but I was glad to find out I wasn't crazy.
This is an excellent discovery Carcajou. Thank you I have asked an admin to investigate this. Hopefully we can get it fixed so the black bishopbag and DIY tarp threads can rest in peace, haha.I know it's been a couple of months but I wanted to follow up in case other users have this issue too.

This question came in so I have edited the Q&A to incorporate it
20) If I post a set with multiple items in it can I later split it up?
A) That depends on a couple of things. If you have more than 3 items in your set then no as the set has more than the 3 items allowed in the guidelines. If you have 2 items in your set then yes you can if you wish. But, if you wish to split a set up it is in the seller's best interest most times to re post the items with individual prices so as to cover the shipping on each.

Looks good Deb.
I didn't see this specifically listed in the allowable items to list...
I have a 1955 Singer 201-2 that belonged to my MIL. Knowing there are quite a few people here that have an affinity for these machines, I wanted to list it here for sale.
Allowed?
Actually it is covered by the guidelines:
Excluded (cannot be sold on HF)
a) Fire arms, ammunition, or holsters for same
b) Fishing, skiing, pulks, or any other sporting gear
c) Electronic gear – if it requires power or batteries it cannot be sold on HF
d) Automatic knives, butterfly knives and swords
While we understand that a sewing machine is used by many of our DIY members so are GPS, flashlights, cell phones...etc..etc. There are lots of other places on the internet where electronic gear can be purchased and sold. Hammock Forums wishes to remained focused on hammocks and not the buying/selling.
