IDN for sale structure change. - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

**DotComGod** · 05-26-2006, 11:57 AM

As of now when you click to post an IDN for sale you will be sent to a form with mandatory fields that must be filled in.

You can view the form here:

http://www.dnforum.com/newthread.php?do=sales_idn

This will allow the subject of all posts for IDN names to look like this:

IDN Sale: IDN | English Translation | Language
IDN Sale: 學生簽證.com | Student Visa | Traditional Chinese

The post itself wll now look like this:

Does this applly to fixed pricing only?

**DotComGod** · 05-26-2006, 12:03 PM

Anything that is not a fixed price wll be considered an auction from this point on, most people will at least have a starting price even if it's $1.

Nice...very nice

can you make all sales forums have similiar posting structure?

this would surely help mods and members alike.

as there are some who consistently forget to put the domain in title or do not include the registrar.

and for "traffic" names have an area to put in the link for screenshots!

Thanks

That's coming next week, all sales and appraisal sections will be made similar.

Looking forward to it!

Thanks so much

This is good.
I like it.

**dodo1** · 05-26-2006, 03:47 PM

Adam, do all thread titles in that section begin with "IDN Sale:"? I would get rid off that, because this way one cannot see the domain itself on the homepage anymore. Also, I just saw the same in the test post in the appraisal section: its title started with "Appraisal wanted:". It is obvious that people want an appraisal, so I would take this info away, too. It would be best if all thread titles started with the domain itself.

**DotComGod** · 05-26-2006, 07:07 PM

IDN appraisals and regular appraisals now use this format and it sure cleans up todays posts when used properly.

dodo1, what resolution are you at? 800 x 600 o 1024 x 768 as I see no subject where I can't see the domains.

Hi,
If I want to sale 50 IDNs,how to post?One thread per 24 hours is allowed.
So I post them in "Message"?

Message:
Post multiple domains
or comments here:

Another question: how to select"Language"
Such IDNs are same term in simp. Chinese and trad. Chinese,ect.
Such as 著名.com:
In simplified Chinese,traditional Chinese,and Japanese, 著名 means famous.
How to select"Language"?May I select 3 Languages?
(著名.com wais sold.)

Uniform posts. That's great news, one of the reasons I stopped paying attention to this forum. It wasn't easy to scan through the domains for sale.

I don't know if it would make the subject too long, but it would be real nice if fixed price domains included the price right in the subject. Would be a real time saver against clicking a thread, only to find an absurdly high asking price. I'd then only be clicking into threads where the price was reasonable and I was interested in the domain, saving this place bandwidth and making the threads even more easily scannable.

I'm at 1024x768. From the homepage the title looks as follows for me: "IDN Sale:...". Do you need the info that it's an IDN sale, after all? This is obvious, because it's in the IDN section, imo. Same goes for the appraisal section. People are looking for appraisals there, so we don't need an additional information in every thread title saying "Appraisal requested:", do we?

Ditto. I don't think it's needed.

Should remove the 'IDN Sale:' part..

I agree with you.
That title is so long.
Please remove the "IDN Sale:"Part and/or language part,because threads are posted in IDN Sales section,"IDN Sale:"Part and language part is not necessary.

I like these titles:

My 50 Chinese IDNs For Sale!
(The title can't include 50 IDNs.If the title only includes one IDN,many guys only read the title and won't read the entire thread!)

勇敢.com("brave")for sale!
(If I post this thread in Chinese IDNs Sales section,the language part is not necessary!)

Thanks.

i disagree with your new proposal above in support of what Adam had already pointed out he would implement. I think ommitting the "IDN sale" part will make no difference from what has been happening which is exactly what needs to be sorted out. Therefore the new system proposed by Adam injects a sense of order into the Domain Sales section! As a future improvement point, i would recommend that similar rules be introduced in the domain appraisals section as well. Good work!
