I find the parts wanted ad procedure to be very confusing. The form is designed as if it's a for sale ad. Due to previous ad scam replies I only listed my first name and VCCA number so if someone does try to reply they will need to research that info . or contact thru this site as I will post in the 49-54 forum.

I am tending to agree with you Gene. The old forum started going down the hill when Bill Barker was replaced.

I am told that club leadership doesn't give a hoot about the site. You might have noticed that there is little, if any, participation here, from any of them. I have sent direct emails to Roger (club president) and Tim, (my area director) with concerns about the site. I was not extended the courtesy of a reply from either of them. This leads me to believe that they know it SUCKS and don't care.

They apparently do not realize that a newcomer to the vintage Chevy hobby will likely find Chat as his first contact with the Club. His disappointment at what he finds here will probably not lead to a VCCA membership.

It's sort of like the old days when VCCA was a California based club and the rest of us were just dues payers to keep the club alive. Same attitude, at the top, just not confined to California.

If it was not for Tiny, VCCA Chat would be dead as a result of the change-over.

I have noticed that a lot of major contributors (mostly the original contributors) to the old Chatter seemed to disappear when Bill Barker was replaced as administrator. The current administrator is rarely seen with the explanation he is busy with other chat groups. At some stage not long after the administrator change on the old forum  was made moderator (found this by accident) but still havent been informed of my authorities as such, nothing has changed on this forum.

I entered the post below a little while ago but continued my search to figure out what I must be missing...and I found a discussion of the topic I needed. The information is in the thread at: https://vcca.org/community/forum-website-questions/editing-a-classified-ad/#post-3199

Once I saw how it was supposed to be done, it was obvious that I had overlooked the obvious!

Thanks for your patience.

Nick

============================

I may be missing something obvious, but I can't figure out how to take down or edit a "Parts Wanted" ad now that I have an agreement with a seller who has agreed to send me the part I was looking for.

Where should I look to find the information I need?

Thanks,

Nick

@nicholas-gurin  Click on the classifieds forum and in red at the top is the heading to edit the ad and then the option to edit or delete the ad. I suggest you wait until you receive the part and also make sure you are dealing with a trusted seller.

Thanks Steve!

I feel a bit foolish for not seeing the very obvious, red heading to edit the post!

@nicholas-gurin Not to fret Nick as I think a few of us "dinosaurs" are still in shock trying to navigate the site.

@35mike  I agree with you Mike.   This forum SUCKS!   I miss all the old guys like Charlie that replied in his always funny post.  But there was many more that helped me out when restoring my 38 Cabriolet.   By the way it is supposed to be done by the middle of this month after 11 years in the process.   If it weren't for Tiny I probably would not check in with this site every day.  The G&D magazine is the only thing I really look forward to!

Guys, I understand your frustration. You all need to make your feelings known to your respective area directors.

@tiny @john-schildberg @nicholas-gurin @steve-d Tiny, Please refer to my post above.  THEY DON'T CARE. Name one site "regular" who is also a director or club insider.
