Only CONTRIBUTING MEMBERS and up can create new ads in the NLG Classifieds. All others users can only reply to existing ads.

Joey started allowing regular members to post WTB in Classifieds, since it supports the site members and vendors. I need to change this in the description, which I will get to eventually.  :arrowthruhead:
You should see the NEW TOPIC  tab just above the start of the ad listings. Can you post a screen shot?

Edited answer: (more at the bottom)
I miswrote! Yes non-contributors can have ads in classifieds but the moderators must move the ad there. I had done a test but failed to make my mock member a regular member. I failed to see that "senior" was still checked in the drop down menu for other memberships. (I knew this but losing my mind!  :banghead:) So no, this won't be changed and non-contributors will, by default, not be able to post there. But once their WTB ad is moved there, anyone can reply.

Pretty sure I have it figured out. I switched credit cards a couple months ago and forgot to update my info  with NLG. Thanks guys. KAD

Thank you for renewing membership.  :applause:
Still it should have worked when you were just "regular." I just did a test to check this out.
Regardless, thanks again for supporting the site!

Unpaid members do not have the ability to create a new post in the classified section.

Joey was fine with members being able to create WTB ads for the reasons you mentioned, but since it isn't possible to only allow WTB posts while simultaneously disallowing WTS posts, the work-around was that unpaid members could post WTB ads in the Requests for PSRs and technical information section, and a moderator could move the post to the classifieds.

Well heck... maybe my test account is somehow sharing information from my other account, but I was able to post in NLG classifieds as a regular non-contributing member.
PM sent.  :yes:

Well to summarize this - the test I did in classifieds (I posted the answer there as well) was to confirm that my alter account, set at "regular" (non paying) membership COULD in fact post in the Classifieds which was what I did.
However, I FAILED to check the drop down menu "show additional groups." I had, at one point, checked senior and completely forgot.
Kevin found that in my settings.  :yes:
After un-checking that, I went back to NLG classifieds and sure enough I could NOT post.  :arrowthruhead:
