I really wish there was just some kind of search bar that I could use to narrow down my searching. I hate looking for a specific costume and having to go through every ad that is currently posted.

There is........
At the top right of each forum, (like if you want to look for a costume go to costumes for sale) it says "thread tools" click that..One of 2 things will happen..It will have a drop menu (most browsers) or it will bring you to the bottom of the page (in google chrome) and there will be a search bar..

I'm thinking they may have the same problem I do - an ad gets in the way of being able to do a forum search.

I have the same problem on my laptop, however on my desktop the ad doesn't get in the way cuz my screen is wider.

I really wish that whoever is working on finishing the site would get all of these little 'bugs' fixed before they moved on to the bigger stuff, cuz these little things will already make the site much better.

@blood_red_rain and Hime no Toki: if you're using google chrome, install adblocker and it'll clear that up. That was happening to me and ad blocker fixed it.

This happens to me too!

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the moderators to go through new threads and approve them? I just want to get my post up ASAP T.T and I'm pretty sure I didn't break any rules...

Even though it will be added soon, you must be a member for 30 days to use the marketplace. It says you joined in Jan. 25th...lol, so that isn't 30 days, but I imagine it will be approved soon anyways, lol.

Ooo i was not aware. I guess I missed that part. Well dang it lol. Ok thanks for the info.

Flamers/generally mean people.
I've found recently people post ads either before they're allowed or who have too low of a budget. They then get a whole bunch of people "accusing" them of doing something wrong. I understand the rules and I understand being a commissioner. But, as a general community I think we would be much more welcoming if we would politely state that they broke rules or that they have too low of a budget. If you can't say it nicely don't say it at all.

Exsample: I think your budget is too low. Many commissioners would be unable to do this for your budget due to materials, labor and shipping costs. Why not try making it yourself by doing x. (:

Rather than: Your budget is too low! No one would do it for that much! Materials alone are $x and labor is $x! No one would do it for $x.

It's simple, but really makes a difference. If this could be added to the rules. Or maybe just something saying "be nice" or "remember commissions are expensive".
Something like that. Please. (:

Also, I have tried to use the search tool but it's not really all that useful.

How is it not useful?
Go to the bottom of the forum.. Go to "search this forum"
Type in general keywords. Don't be too specific.
Look through the results.

It has been very useful to me. So please be more specific as to why? :/

But yes, I would like to see the old Marketplace back. I have never seen in action. But I have seen it through Google searches giving me the old marketplace link.. (so it still exists)
It seems very useful.. And looks more trustworthy than forums.

[blood_red_rain]

I must be doing it wrong or something when I search I get stuff about forum topics, not specially people selling but more like people just talking about that subject.
