Thread Title: "New Communication Feature"
AuctionArmsCeo Buyers and sellers can now communicate with each other through the auction. Any messages sent between buyer and seller are now posted into the auction. We've found that sellers were having to repeatedly answer the same questions over and over, and by posting their reponse into the auction, they now answer everyone else's questions, too.

(no avatar) Just another screen I have to click through. Almost like AOL, determining what my favorite sites are instead of me. (That's not a compliment.)

NWARMORY Hi, Can I set the message page not to be the first page I see? I would rather look at it as needed. Also can you a program a button for delete all (on the message page)? I just had to delete 24 messages that were out of date, Thanks, Karl

(no avatar) AA: Please add a spot on "my auctions" for the message inbox to show that a viewer has a message for us rather than a page that slows us down checking on our sales. Make it red for a un-read message for that item, so that we can click on that red Number to view it. If you are lost with this,Just call me at the shop.

AuctionArmsCeo Someone is being creative. I've removed the messages in question from our system - and disabled all related accounts. Looks like a scammer from out of Australia. Sorry 'bout that - working on a permanent solution. In the meantime, let me know if you see anything else interesting. I'm working on some of your suggestions, so keep them coming.

(no avatar) Hi, a lot of you will know me as a buyer from the UK of fine Enfields. I've read all the posts and totally agree that the old system was fine. Most of you may remember the long email I always send to a seller to ask permission BEFORE bidding and to explain the process of being paid in US dollars by our US FFL dealer/BATF regulated exporter etc. The last thing I want is for all that personal information to be broadcast on the site. A couple of days ago I had to ask Mars_308 a question relating to one of his auctions and I was horrified to discover that it would be posted on the auction. I was unable to explain to him that I was in the UK and how we go about legally buying Enfields on AA, it would have been a bit of a shock to him had I won the auction without having had the opportunity to let him know. It certainly put me off bidding so I'm sure your seller's worries are justified, I would like to see the old system restored. If a seller wanted to use parts of my emails in their listing they could (as has been the case) but I do not want my questions to become public property - it's getting as bad as the UK gun laws!
