Big Grin Welcome to Trade Me Discussion Board...
Posted by: crafters_corner - 06-11-2021, 10:22 AM - Forum: Trademe Discussion - Replies (5)

I am really pleased that we now have this board, to be able to ask questions about TM related issues. Hopefully, there will be people who can help in answering any TM related questions, and any opinions/thoughts/ideas are always greatly received.

I am an 'in trade' seller of crafts, and I have learned loads over the years, although I have to say, that there are many more traders who will know much more than I do, but we will all do our best to impart our knowledge.

We all hope that you enjoy it here. We are growing every day, with more members, and we are expecting that once the TM messageboards implode, that the numbers will increase, which is good for all of us. The more the merrier.


Please do read the "welcome new members' board, and check out the rules, so that you are familiar with them.

So again, a very warm welcome to you all, and I hope that you enjoy being here, and chatting to lots of lovely people. There is no better time to connect with others, with the restrictions that we have to get out and about.

  UserScripts for TradeMe?
Posted by: sarahk - 06-11-2021, 09:39 AM - Forum: Trademe Discussion - Replies (10)

I'm selling a bunch of stuff. Most of it is pick up only but some of it I'm kinda-happy to ship. (Pro tip, don't use Aramex) What I'd love is to be able to get more info on the items I'm selling, like an icon for pickup, and for shipping. 

[Image: PRFXq6cszk.png]

Has anyone found a userscript that can add that info to the page?

Or is there a better page to view current listings?

Heart Mum jailed for killing her terminally ill 28 yo daughter
Posted by: crafters_corner - 05-11-2021, 11:31 AM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (5)

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/1...rs-in-jail

Does it outrage you, that this mother didn't get a longer sentence?
Does it make you sad, that she had to watch her daughter suffer?

"Walk a mile in my shoes".

"Judge not, lest ye be judged"

Lock her up and throw away the key?

I just find this sort of crime, so extremely sad. What pushes a mother to the brink of despair, that this is the only way out.

How can mothers be capable of killing their child/ren?

I think of the poor South Afrikan mum, who killed her 3 children. Mentally unstable? Had a breakdown? Having a bad day? Stress of settling into a new country and new culture??

You thoughts? Heart

Star Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?
Posted by: crafters_corner - 05-11-2021, 09:38 AM - Forum: General Discussion - Replies (17)

Tick Tock....50 days to go.


I really don't enjoy Christmas. It's not the fun time for me, as it is for many others.

I buy about 3 gifts and that's it. Maybe the odd card to make and give.

Star What is your favourite season of the year, and why??

Summer and Autumn for me thanks. I love the sun. It makes me happy. Big Grin

I hate the cold of Winter, and I hate the changeability of Spring. Dodgy

Question Adding images and other attachments to posts.
Posted by: king1 - 04-11-2021, 03:00 PM - Forum: Tips & Tricks - No Replies

Adding Photos
There are two methods of adding images to your posts, based on where the images are stored...

Online images - For example Facebook, Twitter, Blog or other websites

  • Use the 'Insert an Image' button in the full editor toolbar.  These are not limited by dimension or file size but you can optionally set a Width and Height for the image. Simply paste the URL of the online image and select insert.
  • Beware of linking to some low profile image hosting websites. Should the website go belly up, the images will disappear...
Offline images - For example photos stored on your computer, laptop, pictures folder etc
  1. These images need to be uploaded to the messageboard.  
  2. Find the Attachments section of the 'New Post' window or as a 'Full Reply', located immediately below the full editor. 
  3. Either, tap/click the attachments area which will open a file explorer window on you device - or you can simply drag files from the file system onto the attachments area to upload.
  4. Select within the post where you want the attachment to show
  5.  Tap/click 'insert into post' . 
Notes:
  • Make sure the cursor is located where the image is to be inserted
  • All attachments have size limits depending on the file type ie JPG is 2MB  
  • For security reasons only certain file types are allowed
  • Until we trust you  Big Grin  only Recruit level and above can add attachments i.e. the Trusted user group. 
Resizing images before uploading.
For Windows: 
there is an image resizer in the power toys package
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows...ge-resizer

For Mac:
[Can someone please provide a quick and easy instruction or tool built into mac]

Other options:
  • There are any number of online resizers e.g https://resizeimage.net/
  • If feasible you could take photos again with a reduced DPI or Megapixel level

Question Understanding Membership Levels and Roles
Posted by: king1 - 04-11-2021, 12:04 PM - Forum: Tips & Tricks - No Replies

We use a system of levels attached to your membership account to reflect membership status.  It is intended mainly as a bit of fun but it also  provides a simple indication of a members engagement with the forum and it's members. 

The Member levels are ...

  • No Posts - N00b
  • 1 Post - Rookie
  • 10 Posts - Recruit
  • 25 Posts - Apprentice
  • 50 Posts - Prodigy
  • 100 Posts - Superstar
  • 250 Posts - Elder
  • 500 Posts - Expert
  • 750 Posts - Guru
  • 1000 Posts - Maestro
  • 2500 Posts - Myth
  • 5000 Posts - Legend
  • 7500 Posts - Grand Master
  • 10000 Posts - Jedi Master
  • 12500+ Posts - TBA

The main significance of these membership levels is the implied status.  Should these Member Level titles not be to your liking, you are able to customise this for yourself in the User Control Panel  after reaching the 'Recruit' user.

Behind the scenes, there are also membership groupsAccess permissions to various areas and functions of the messageboard are based upon membership groups. These are...
  • Guests
  • Registered Users
  • Trusted Users 
  • Moderators 
  • Super Moderators 
  • Administrators

These group roles are mainly self evident but note the following...
  • New signups become 'Registered' users. 
  • New signups are restricted from including external links in posts and signatures, this is to deter message board spam.
  • 'Registered' users are automatically promoted to a 'Trusted' user after making 10 posts AND having a reputation of Zero or higher (consistent with the 'Recruit' level above).
  • The 'Trusted' user group enables use of attachments, external links and custom titles for the member.  

Please note: For users who have no interest in Opinion and Politics, or the Covid 19 forums, we are able to exclude these from your messageboard view if desired.  This is not user configurable but please ask one of the moderators or admin so it can be implemented.
