No more free PH ads?

[johnthesifu]

Has PH removed this service as I used to be able to make free ads.

[Deluded]

I managed to make a free one last week using this login.

Still says that standard ads are free, but I do think their limited so people can't abuse it without paying.

We're trialling a cheaper (£9.99) premium ad with no free alternative in some makes and models only at present. However the qualification for a free premium ad for forum account holders (which currently applies to all account holders on 1st July 2008, when we introduced a premium ad) will continue to apply.

That's good there are a few of us with last nights incident backed up to attack if you remove such cracking deals.

We'll never remove this, and in fact we'll consider bringing forward the qualification date slightly. I went on record when we introduced the premium ad three years ago as saying this. Frankly, the most interesting cars we carry come from the forum members who qualify for a free ad, and long may that continue.

I'm pleased I actually qualify for some sort of "Grandfather's right" somewhere in life...

Any news on the Summer "Prolific Poster" payment though?

I heard that they'd blown most of it on someone's "leaving do" - Monster Munch don't grow on trees, y'know.

Yup, that along with garlicks expenses claims for running the merc are crippling Haymarket, so all PPP monies are suspended currently.

We'll ive been a member from before 2008 but it wants to charge me £16 to submit a premium in the race car / karting section?

Edit... So at the top of the "submit" page it explains it needs to be checked before they send me details on how to pay the £16, and then at the bottom of the screen there is a "submit for free" button which I have just used... Seems the system needs improving to make things clearer..

It changed a few months ago. Unfortunately at the moment your account doesn't qualify you for a free car ad (other things are still free) but the ad will only cost you £9.99.

Drop me a PM with any email addresses you may have used to be a member in the past, and I'll happily see if we can find an old account which belongs to you.
