Yea we have plans for classifieds system, but currently the ones that are available for the Xenforo platform are not that great. I've been evaluating other classifieds systems and seeing how easy it would be to integrate it within our ItemHub Platform as well. To be honest there are 3-4 other things that will first need to be addressed before we implement a classifieds system. But its definitely on the books to be implemented, probably some time in the new year. Right now much of my time is tied up with Agena related upgrades for the upcoming holiday season. Once the upgrades have been made I'll will be devoting more time to AC again.

The next 2 features that will be address are media gallery and an upgrade to the Item Database that will allow users to submit new products and upload documents and related content for particular items. I am also looking to put together a template CSV file to allow people to submit products in bulk for those manufactures that want products that are not currently in our database. I'm hoping these features will become useful to the vintage equipment crowd who want to catalog these scopes in our database along with documentation.


The media gallery is pretty much done it just has a bunch of visual issues to address before we turn in on live for the public.

 

@aeajr Thanks for the feedback, I'm not sure exactly how long it was set that you can edit your post. I know the issue happens because people like to hide what they original said to avoid punishment from moderators in some cases but our system has a running log of any changes you guys make from the original so we can always go back to see what happened. I believe it is like a day or so but I would have to ask @StaringAtStars that question. In terms of posting a series of posts I would suggest you contact us before doing something like that we may work with you on using our articles system instead of making continuous posts. Not only would it be easier to maintain, it has the added benefit of not getting lost in a sea of forum threads in the future

 

It is indeed possible. This theme was custom created after all. We actually do plan in the future to have at least 3 versions of this theme. A light, dark and a striped down bandwidth saving theme. Right now though we currently have a few ongoing development and integration projects with Astronomy Connect that will come first before many of the aesthetic changes will be made. With the current bandwidth between @StaringAtStars and myself we are a bit swamped with AgenaAstro.com and AstronomyConnect.com projects and this wont be at the top of our priority for some time. I would open a new topic for this suggestion and if it gets enough traction we can move it up in priority. At the end of the day we want to build out features that members request and want, so suggestions are always welcome. I can tell you right now many things that have been suggested have already been put into the pipeline.

I will probably making a new post this week on the state of AstronomyConnect along with some new updates.
