The urmston.net Classified Ads section is now up and running. When designing this section I decided that it was important to ensure that any adverts displayed on the website are as current as possible; nobody wants to phone up for something only to discover that it was sold six weeks ago. Therefore, when you add an item you will be assigned a randomly generated reference number which can be used together with your e-mail address to update your advert at any time. If you choose not to update your advert it will automatically expire after 7 days; the counter on the right tells you how long the advert has left before it expires. Besides resetting your advert, once you have logged in, you can also update the selling price or delete the advert entirely.

Included in the design is an option to assign categories to the adverts but I'll wait to see how popular the section becomes before enabling this option. I may also include a search engine at some point in the future too! Like everything else on urmston.net; I enjoyed creating this section and if people decide to use it that's great but I would imagine that it will take a while before this section becomes popular.
