Just today I have noticed several non-members posting offers to buy & sell on the gear swap forum.
Feb 15, 2012 at 2:28 pm #1839920Have you actually clicked on their names to see if they're members or not? If someone joined today, the 'M' won't show up by their name immediately. Takes a bit. Best way to see if someone is a member, if you're concerned, is to click on their name and on the ensuing screen you'll see whether or not they're a member.
Feb 15, 2012 at 3:08 pm #1839937The "M" has to be added manually (by Addie in the BPL office), so it doesn't show up right away–it may take a day or two.
Feb 15, 2012 at 4:30 pm #1839968believe you must be a member to post items for sale
Feb 16, 2012 at 3:21 pm #1840374Holy frijoles, I do not add the "M" manually. I'd never get anything else done! Could just be a cache issue, like Doug said, where it takes a day to show the actual member status.
Thanks,
AddieFeb 16, 2012 at 3:43 pm #1840391Is it OK for non-members to respond to ads placed by members? I had assumed so, but from this thread thought I should check.
Feb 16, 2012 at 4:53 pm #1840432Yes, you can respond. You cannot start threads.

LOL! I don't think I've ever heard that particular expletive!
Thanks for lightening my day.Feb 19, 2012 at 11:16 am #1841548Yup. We can respond but cannot create a new thread.

Silly me, and all this time, I thought it was holy guacamole ! Learn something new every day… :)

Nothing slipped through, Kane's a member.
Mar 28, 2012 at 5:43 pm #1860686I see the red M now, although it wasn't there before. A time lag in program update, I suppose.
Mar 28, 2012 at 5:45 pm #1860687Trust Big Brother, at least where $ is involved.
Mar 28, 2012 at 5:48 pm #1860690Ah, who cares. Let the BPL staff worry about the Gear Swap rules.

A big +1. What are we anyway, backpackers or amateur lawyers?
Mar 29, 2012 at 5:21 pm #1861224Seriously. The member non/member dynamic on this forum is laughable. Paying for this site is a waste of money and tattling on people who are trying to sell items so they can make a few bucks in this economy is a complete waste of time and character.
