Problem with New Swapmeet
I've been trying to figure out how to track threads in the new swapmeet and get email notifications of new posts. WHen I go to SNOWMOBILES » Arctic Cat » 2005-current and select the first thread in the list 05 m-7 162'' LE and then select Product Options>Enable Email Updates, it gives me a screen saying email updates have been enabled and returns me to the thread. I can not find anywhere to look that tells me I am getting email updates for this thread, I thought maybe Swapmeet>My Watched List but it is still empty. also Subscriptions is empty (whats the difference between these?). Next I went back to the thread and selected Product Options>Disable Email Updates and this went to a screen saying email updates were disabled. But when I go back to the Product Options screen on the thread, I am still getting the Disable prompt like it is still enabled. I tried the next thread down and same behavior.
What is the difference between My Watch List, Subscriptions (in new swapmeet) and Subscribed threads in the User Control panel? How do I subscribe to a FORUM in the NEW Swapmeet - the Forum Tools Option is not available?

I totally disagree. If we MUST have an expiration, I think people should have at least 6 months....
30 days is way too short.
Will people get a PM notice that their listing is going to expire?
when will the old swapmeet be phased out?
I think I like the old swapmeet format a lot more than this new one!
It was more simple to deal with... but maybe the flashy, technical format will just take some getting used tooo..
like the new addtions in the smiley section

Swap meet and Classifieds?
Why do we continue to have both? I rarely check the classifieds, but constantly browse the swapmeet due to it's ease. I may regret asking when the swapmeet disapears leaving only the classifieds.
Don't the two formats dilute a users ability to reach all possible buyers and vice versa?

They offer such different formats for presenting the material.
Why does a seller want to split his ad coverage?
Why does a buyer want to do twice the Searching?
Thanks, Christopher, that was an enlightening answer, now I'm motivated to pay & stay.
Just a note: I've been a Snowest Diehard ever since I discovered this website. I've watched and waited silently since it became a paysight to see the results of the changes. I'm not conviced there is any bang for the buck, as small a buck as it is. My sledheads/snowest subscription renewal card is even still in the junk mail box on my desk, I am surprised at myself that I have no interest in renewing.
Why is it an improvement to make the process of buying or selling something more difficult?
Let's cut the crap and make the sight worth paying for. I have lurked BCR and am not impressed, BUT I SURE DO MISS A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE that have moved over.
I'm still here, hoping to see the upside to the past years uprise, but to be honest I'm finding my visits here to be fewer and shorter.

I agree with spud, keep it simple, one or the other. I'm always looking to buy stuff and consider myself a good consumer, IMO it's a pain having to search through both and honestly I hardly check the new section for anything other than actual sled listings.
I agree with you too,I never use the new one,I even forgot it existed.
The old swapmeet is much easier too use and I am always checking the swapmeet out.
While I personally agree that 2 is 1 too many, last fall when this was brought up, there was a LOT of noise for keeping both of them open as many liked one better than the other and both were well liked in the end, we simply dropped the issue and let them both stay.
Is this something we need to consider re-hashing now that some time has passed?
P.S.... I usually only check the old one as well.

The new one was the direct result of MEMBER REQUESTS.
I had numerous complaints about the old system and was asked again and again for a better solution.
One that could handle picture better.
That listed prices
That had locations
That had more details spelled out and behaved more as a regular classified advertisement that would be found elsewhere online.
1,650 classified ads suggests to me that it was not a failure or not used.
I also think this system has a higher penetration rate into the general internet population of people searching for snowmobile "stuff".
Perhaps all snowmobile sales are confined as one snowest member to another, but I think this system reaches out to non snowest members better than the forum thread postings do.
In the end its an option that is given to the members.
They get to choose which or both to use at their choice.

penetration rate.(screwing)..???...lol...well i just can not pass this up..are you talking about the premium membership..lol..sorry Christopher...but i couldn;t let this quote stay in context when its fun not to..
I think that the search engines index the classifieds better than the swapmeet.
So you are more concerned about the occasional straggler that may stumble upon the ads from outside the forum, rather than your subscribers who are interested in trading amongst ourselves for the good of the buyer and the seller?
Don't get me wrong, I like to get the most out of my sales, but I am also willing to give a forum friend a break, and like the fact that I trust most sellers on here, and if I sense a red flag, I can quickly review their posts to get a sense of who they are and what they stand for.
If I was looking to dump junk or buy junk I would be on Craigslist or KSL.com
I think you miss the fact that most of us here are looking for a BETTER, HIGHER QUALITY experience whether selling or troubleshooting.
It seems your goal is more to appease the masses, who tend to be dumasses.
There are lots of tricks to get quick hits on the internet, but most of them are short-term and deceptive.
We are trying to help you develop something long term and Effective.

My goal is to provide options to the members.
You are free to pick and choose as you alone see best.
