Is it possible to set up an email alert system on the classified section/page? Something like the one on BN.
If it is could be subscribe to just the sections that interest us? Ie in my case just the offered section.

Anything can be done but it really depends on whether the work involved is justified.
Something like this could only be available to website members to stop people signing up with somebody elses email. Really, to make it useful we'd want something that emailed you when the particular thing you wanted was entered. To do this properly would require selection of species via a proper species list. And that requires a proper taxanomic list; not strictly true but I'd always envisaged everything being cleverly tied together.
It really depends on how much use it gets to be honest. I mean, if you just want to know a new ad has been placed, I would be willing to do that, but content specific matching requires more trouble than it's currently worth.
I will bear it in mind though as things progress.

Hi Paul
One thing I noticed about the new classifieds bit is that there aren't dates on the ads - is that something that could be doable, or is it better if we ad them to our own ads?
Sorry sorry sorry *lol*

There is a date for each ad. Bottom right of each classified box.

Thanks Paul,
At this stage i think purely a notification of a new post would be more than sufficient. The other option sounds great but also seems like a lot of work.
Signing up under someone elses email? Dont see the point really but nowt so strange as folk. I guess a workround would be an opt in option.
