Members with Message Board posting privileges may place their own adverts - it's just like making a regular post to the message board.
Members without Message Board posting privileges and non-members may download and complete a form, then post/email it to SCORE for entry into the system.
In detail, the process is as follows:
Members with Message Board posting privileges
Process
Entering a Classified advert is very similar to entering a normal post to the SCORE Message Board.
In the Classifieds forum, click the "New Classified" button to enter your advertisement details. You will see that the "Post a new topic" page has special fields for Classifieds. Enter details as follows:
Subject: A brief description of the item you are selling (or want). Do not enter "FOR SALE" or "WANTED" here.
Message Body: Free text for any details not covered in the Classifieds fields.
Status: Typically "FOR SALE" or "WANTED". The keywords "SOLD", "WITHDRAWN" and "SOURCED" should be entered later to reflect the outcome of your advertisement.
Classifieds fields: Details appropriate to the item you are selling (or want), or leave blank as appropriate. Each field is annotated with explanatory text. These fields will be formatted automatically.
See separate page (indexed above) for guidance on entering photos.
Click "Preview" to see how your information will be formatted. Adjust as necessary, then click "Submit" to publish your Classified advertisement.
Once submitted, you can edit a Classified advertisement at any time, as follows:
From the Forum Index enter the Classifieds forum.
Click the line entry for your advertisement.
Click the "Edit" button then amend your details as required.
Preview, adjust then Submit.
Expired advertisements will removed. To facilitate this please advise classified@score.org.uk when an item becomes sold or you want it withdrawn.
SCORE members are advised that following the guidelines in the Classified Form (as used by on-members and members without Message Board posting privileges) will give you the best results. Remember that many non-members will read your advert so avoid 'club' phrases and keep your ad concise and accurate - long 'essay-type' posts put people off! Please always remember to keep to the size guidelines when posting photos for your advert.
Alternatively, members may use the non-members' process described below.
Price
Free, including up to four photos as part of the SCORE membership benefits.

Please advise classified@score.org.uk when the item if sold. We may also contact you periodically to ensure that your advert is still current.
