I am trying to post in the Parts Wanted section. Of course, I have to go through Panjo... I believe I'm filling out all the info but my thread is not showing up on R3V, I've been trying all day. Incredibly frustrating this process of reinventing the wheel.
Why isn't it working?'89 BMW 325is Zinnoberrot / '88 VW Jetta GLI 16v Tornado Red / '89 VW Jetta GLI 16v Tornado Red / '89 VW GTI 16v Bright Blue Metallic / '91 BMW 325i Black / '91 BMW 325i Sport Black / '92 VW GTI 16v Black / '92 VW GTI 16v Montana Green / '01 Audi A4 Avant TQM Silver Metallic / '01 VW Jetta GLX VR6 BlackComment

I was able to locate your account on Panjo and saw that your account has successfully linked to your r3vlimited account.
Now that your accounts are linked, every time you create a listing on Panjo, you'll be able to select the subforum where you'd like your thread to be generated.
I went ahead and selected the subforum category for your WTB listing and generated the thread for you here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=401148

I'm glad I found this thread explaining the Panjo appearance. I've been perusing r3v for a few years, but don't post much. Now that I'm looking to buy some parts, it's good to know the mods are trying to make the process more streamlined and secure.Comment

Brian, I just moved a lot of threads out of the "Random Crap FS/WTB" section, most of which should have been in the "Parts Wanted" section. Is this an issue with Panjo not bucketing them correctly, an education issue for the thread posters, or a combination of both?Comment

When a member links their Panjo account to r3vlimited, they have the option to select from a dropdown menu which subforum category they believe their listing belongs in.
The dropdown menu mirrored the order in which the subforums appear on the forum. With the 'Random Crap FS/WTB' category at the top of the dropdown/forum, I can see why members might quickly glean over it and just throw their listing into that general section. I manually rearranged the order on the dropdown to push it below the 'Parts' and 'Parts Wanted' sections. Hopefully that helps!

OK, created two listings and have both Bimmerforums and R3V accounts linked. If I select BF first and create post then select and create the R3v post, the R3V one never shows up.
Also, I closed an ad today as sold, and it still hasn't updated the post on r3v..
I really am trying to give it a fair shake, but so far... no impressed.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

At this time, each Panjo listing can only be linked to one thread generated in a respective forum. Therefore, since you linked to BF first, that's the one that's connected; hence why your r3v post remained.
In the meantime, if you want to create threads on multiple forums, you'll have to create separate listings in the marketplace for each forum. Or you can PM me your username, and I'd be happy to duplicate and handle it for you.

This sounds like it would be a feature that everyone could benefit from and use. I have to say, that is kind of a deal breaker for me - I don't want to have to maintain multiple ads for the same item. Not to mention from a purely database stand point - that's a terrible idea. You now have duplicate info that could just be linked via a linking table. Unless it's being stored in a single relationship column in a single row. Which really restricts scalibility. Even if it's purely API calls to either site, you are over-complicating it by having multiple ads for the same listing. Not to mention it makes the UI a cluster to manage.1991 325i MT2 Touring (JDM bro)

Thanks a ton for this pointed and constructive feedback. We have it on our roadmap to handle this through a join table. One core reason this suggestion will take a little time to implement is that forums are fragile things. The permutations of versions, platforms, plugins, unannounced patches and updates, and server environments make any Panjo-to-forum integrations a bit more time consuming than optimal to implement them in a reliable and stable way. There is a long, five-year back story as to why it works and is structured like it is now. Bygones. We are always evolving Panjo as fast as we can to better improve benefits for buyers and sellers.
If you have other requests, wishes, and suggestions, we are always looking for ways to reduce the time and effort it takes buyers and sellers to find one another and securely transact. Here are some recaps of recent releases, including the ability to refine which new listings generate alerts for you. (Panjo recap 1) (panjo recap 2)
