Using forum as a classifieds Wed. Feb 18, '04 9:32 PM (permalink)

I'm considering ASPPG software for an online classifieds site, along with a couple of discussion forums in additon the classifieds section. I'd prefer that visitors not post followups to ads, so I'm wondering: Should I set the forum categories to Post-only for ad capability without followups? This seems to be the best way to go, judging from the FAQ.

Any other feedback on how to successfully implement ASP Playground as a classifieds package? Would anyone recommend, or not recommend doing this?

Thanks -

    yap, you can have a forum that only allows post but not reply. You will also want to disallow guests to view that forum to protect the posters as search engine bots will index emails or telephones if you don't do that.

    For simple classified ads posting without the bells and whistles, it should work OK I think.
