I started creating a list of Frequently Asked Questions which can be located from the menu at the left by clicking on FAQ

The FAQ is a work in progress and I will update the list of questions & answers as they come in.

If you have a question that needs answered, feel free to Contact Us!

I added a "Search" option for the site. We are starting to get enough posts that it can be a bit confusing trying to find anything...

I've thought about adding some additional categories for defining the equipment and helping folks dig down to what they are looking for such as: Asphalt Rollers, Sealcoat Machines, Asphalt Trailers, etc. If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know.

I had a bit of a problem with being able to upload pictures through Internet Explorer but this is now fixed. If you posted an ad but didn't have an option to upload a picture, try editing the ad again and you should see where to upload pictures toward the bottom of the page.

After doing some research online, it appears that used asphalt plant equipment is pretty common among the used asphalt equipment being sold. There are a few sites out there that offer folks to sell their used asphalt plant equipment and I am by no means trying to capture the majority of that market. At least now there is an option in-case someone has used plant equipment they are trying to sell off.

Well, I "think" I finally have the posts so they will expire on a timely manner. I will just have to wait and see at this point if it works right, but the posts should start expiring on their own after 45 days. This way, if you sell the equipment and forget to remove the post, it will go away on it's own. You can always re-publish the post by going to the posts "edit" link from your "My Account" -> "My Posts" tab. Just scroll to the bottom of the page and there should be a "Publish" check-box that is unchecked. Check it, save the post and it will be live again for another 45 days.

Captcha:
Well, I finally got the Captcha module working on the "E-mail Seller" and "registration forms". I tested this on the E-mail Seller form but not the registration. If it still isn't working on the registration form, let me know.

Images:

The first day of BuyMyAsphalt.com has been a successful one with 35 hits to the website. This may not seem like a lot but for the first day of being open, I would have to say that's remarkable! Today has been even better with 64 total hits to the site. That tells me that there are A LOT of people searching for used asphalt equipment! We don't have any actual posts yet though which means the buyers are out there, but the sellers aren't... I need some posters! Register for your free account and start selling your equipment!

System Update:

January 12th 2009 marks the date of open registration for the site. I (the helpfuldude) have spent the last few weeks polishing up on a few of the back-end items of the site to allow for the registration process, easy posting and easy navigation of the site.

At this point, the site is a work in progress of updates and enhancements which is why it's in "beta" status. It simply means that more improvements and enhancements are on the way!
