How to get more Classified (Marketplace) adverts on EuroGA, and how to make them work better?

A step in the right direction but it should be more visible – a proper button – much like the Donate button

I will see how much “mod money” is left in the donations kitty at the year end

I would make the Donate button bigger as well – say the width of the search window

EHLE / Lelystad, Netherlands, Netherlands

That is on the list.

In the longer run we are looking at using some ready made module for doing the Marketplace really well. I don’t know what is out there but there is likely to be way more PHP stuff than Ruby. Currently we don’t have PHP on the server and this greatly enhances security, but the Marketplace could be run on a separate virtual machine, etc. Advertisement facilities have a history of getting hacked…

I just advertised an aircraft.
It says teh cost is €100, but the cost is really €25 – typo/bug?

Suggestion: repeat the picture in a banner on every page

It should not say the €100 anymore. That’s what it used to be. Now it is €25.

Edit: that was a fossil comment. I have just fixed it, hopefully without breaking something

The wording on the Marketplace pricing has been changed:

Miscellanous items (other than below) €5 per item
Avionics €10 per item
Aircraft €25 per aircraft

because we were getting some adverts for huge collections of avionics, all for the €10 There is a current ad for stuff valued at some €24k…

We have finally worked out how to change the Marketplace link into a button

@Peter I suggest you add a feature that lists newest for sale items of the Marketplace on top of the threads. Like a sticky thread, visible on all pages, showing the newest items.
