Publisher review:Add a full-featured user-to-user classified ads system to your website to connect buyers with sellers. No matter what your users interestes may be, they likely want to buy and sell items related to your site's topic, and PhotoPost Classifieds makes it easy.
PhotoPost Classifieds is designed to integrate seamlessly into your current site design, and can even use your existing forum user database (if you have one) for one central login.
PhotoPost Classifieds was designed to help you give your users exactly what they want. Your community of users will appreciate your site's classified ads section every time they want to sell extra items or buy needed goods from various members of your community, all with no more effort than it takes to post a text message to a forum.
We have been creating software for high-traffic community web sites for years, and our company in fact owns and operates ResellerRatings.com and TechIMO.com, two community-focused sites with 175,000 registered users and an aggregate 7 Million monthly page views. Our experience is well reflected in our products and our customer service.
If you already have a forum (vBulletin, UBB Threads, phpBB, DCForum, or InvisionBoard), you'll appreciate that PhotoPost Classifieds was designed to seamlessly integrate into your site without the need for your users to register twice and maintain two logins.
