I have just added more functionality to the user control panel for reguistered users!
Now you can edit your ad’s text, web address, email and phone contact. You can also take advantage of the National Visibility option at any time instead of just being presented with the option at sign up.
Hope this helps!
Since revamping the way Christ’s List verifies new accounts, we have received no new incidents of people not being able to log in after clicking the authentication link in the verification email. We are now confident that this bug is fixed.
I would like to encourage anyone who has had difficulties to try again.
…I’m looking for a little feedback concerning Christ’s List’s categories. What’s not important? What’s missing? What should be renamed or redefined?
I am having log in difficulties. It wont accept my password yet I get no emails back to reset my password. Please help.
Virginia,
Have you looked in the spam folder for your Yahoo account? Often times messages formatted like our confirmation emails get caught in email filters…
Could you add a catagory titled ‘Personal Development’? Thank you.
What type of content would be under such a category?
Personal development
Sorry, I meant to add this: Personal development CD’s, DVD’s, educational books, events.
But CD/DVD’s, Books and Events all have existing categories…
i cannot find where to register so i can place an ad locally. ??? help?
Hi Linda - thanks for checking us out!
To post, simply go to the category you wish to post in, select “Post New”… everything should be self explanatory after that…
Blessings!
I want to find good pop music. Help me please.
Needs to be a clothing category under items for sale.
Done!
In housing, what about Real Estate For Sale, Real Estate For Rent, Commerical Real Estate and Vacation Rentals
After considering a few different ways to support the site we have abandoned the original strategy of charging for certain categories. We’ve decided to keep ALL local posts free, but create an option that gives a post “National” visibility for $10. The cost is for the life of the post - which can be up to a maximum of 60 days.
Whatever category you assign your post to will remain the same, but it will be seen in that category for ALL states, not just your local area. Our hope and prayer is that businesses and ministries with a national reach will find this beneficial - especially as visits to the site continue to increase.
The national post option can be selected after you create your post, and can be payed for through PayPal using your account or credit/debit card.
Blessings!
In the 15 days since launch there have been several enhancements. Some are:
…and several geeky fixes and updates!
More to come!
Report bugs, typos, other strangeness here:
Hello,
After resetting my password, I’m still not able to log in to the site. The only thing I can think is that it doesn’t like my login name, wrxy-tv, with the hyphen. Could this be the problem?
Steven,
When I get time I’ll review the filters for the web forms - its possible that you are right regarding the username… meanwhile to test the theory I’ve renamed your username to “wrxytv”… try to log in…
George
Why is my ad not active after 3 days?
Warren, it appears that you never responded to the post confirmation email. You get a confirmation email when you sign up, which you responded to, but you also get one every time you post. Let me know if there was a problem with the email. Check your spam box or filter if you didnt see it. Blessings!
Argghhhhh…. LOL. I found it in my trash!! Thanks so much!
I am getting a login error when I try to logon, and I know the information is correct.
I am trying to register with you but it’s not working. After I get the activation email, I try logging in and it says LogIn Incorrect. I hit reset password and click and it goes to a blank page. Can you help with that? Thanks
Becky, are you clicking the link in the email?
created a login, when I went to verify it did not recognize my password or email address. I got “Error: Login incorrect!” but I know it was correct.
Kathleen,
Did you reply to the confirmation email? Check your email…
You live in your state, we don’t. What we need is a little help understanding how you local folks refer to your area.
For example, here in New Jersey we typically divide our state into 3 parts: “North”, “Central” and “South Jersey”. New York City is divided by “boroughs”, other places are divided by counties, major cities or direction - like northeast or south side.
Help us to serve you better by telling us how your area is divided, and what the proper names of these regions are. Also bear in mind that we are interested in broad divisions, not neccesarily every single city or county within a state.
When browsing the posts on Christ’s List you may already see regions listed for your state, if thats the case let us know if any are missing, incorrect or redundant. Thanks in advance!
I suggest that a North Texas region be created. This would include the Dallas/Forth Worth metroplex.
Texas is a BIG state. Houston population is 4M. Defining Houston area as a distinct location would be a big help.
Richard, if there is any other advice you could offer on how you locals define the different regions in Texas, I’d appreciate it! Blessings!
what about tucson
Oregon is easy! 4 main cities: Portland Metro, Salem, Eugene, Bend. Then is Just Western (coastal region) Oregon, Eastern Oregon, Central and Southern Oregon.
Done.
Please put Richmond as an area. We are American Family Radio for Central Virginia. Cva might be a bit too big. http://www.afrRichmond.net Keep up the great work pointing to Jesus!
Washington State needs to be broken up into at least East / West. But here is a list of Major areas/Cities….Here are list of major cities…
bellingham
kennewick-pasco-richland
olympic peninsula
pullman / moscow
seattle-tacoma
spokane / coeur d’alene
wenatchee
yakima
North Carolina needs a Foothills Region added if you could. Thx!
Added - Thanks!
As for Missouri - we don’t use your terms, they are geographic terms but not commonly known- Try St. Louis Metropolitan Area, Kansas City Metropolitan Area, Southeastern MO, Southwestern MO, Lake of the Ozark region, Kirksville Area, Hannibal Area, Branson, and St. Joseph
Thanks - exactly the feedback I’m looking for!
add port huron to michigan
Thanks!
south florida
…what would the other divisions be? North, south, central?
Southern CA> Los Angeles> (LA DIVIDED INTO 7 Categories) San Gabriel Valley, Southbay / Westside, SanFernando Valley, Antelope Valley, Long Beach / 562, Central LA
Lyncburg is located in Central Va. but has 68,000 in the city alone. The metropolitan area includes 203,000 people. I think Lynchburg should be used as a major city for locale purposes.
The forum app we used was full of features but proved to be more difficult to maintain and use then Christ’s List itself!
I hope this simple WordPress site is faster, easier and gentler on the eyes 
Any comments? Suggestions? (God forbid) Gripes?
When I hit Post New I am taken back to a login page and I am already logged in. I get no opportunity to make a new post
What browser are you using? What computer platform? It sounds off the top of my head like the browser cookies aren’t being set or retained… are cookies disabled by chance?
I was talking with my small group about doing a website like this. Are you all interested in partnering this website? I believe I can connect my resources with yours and make this a big deal in and through the Church
Pete,
The first question would be “What exactly are your resources?”… Christ’s List is currently a one man operation - and that man is also a full time pastor! The lacking resources really are just programming talent and $$.
I still keep the site in “beta” because there are still many features to be implemented and of course a few bugs being chased down. If others were programming in addition to - or once in a while instead of me these tasks would be done and the site would sooner be ready for the masses.
There is no advertising budget (thank God for Twitter, faceBook and a few other social nets) which is why it has been a slow build as far as popularity.
Are either of these things something you could provide?
Thanks for reaching out! Blessings!
George
I’m very exited about this website. Congratulations!!! Would you help me out with one of the adds I posted today, shows is active but I’m not able to open it when I’m going to the classifies.
Gisela,
Thanks for giving it a try - and for your support! The second ad is missing a title, the title is what gets clicked on. If there is no title then there’s nothing to click. I will take steps to prevent this from happening in the future.
The ads seem basically the same and seem to be posted to the same category, maybe consider adding the additional info to the active ad (you should be able to log in and do this). If this doesnt work for you let me know what you have in mind.
Blessings!
George
I would like to be able to post housing to the site. We have a Seminary in my town and I know that many students would use the site if they knew of it. (Fuller Theological Seminary-Pasadena CA)
I am so glad you are doing this I was thinking of this site name for a long time- 3 years and wondered when someone would do it. I would help if I knew how. I am just a graphic designer and teacher who knows little about the back-end side. If you ever want some free simple Google-ish designs let me know.
…just added a housing category just for you!
Kathleen, I have a backlog of programming tasks for the site - once I get some of that done maybe we can talk about designs. Thanks for the offer!
[copied from old forum] Registering and posting was very easy and I felt that it was secure in that verification took place twice once when I registered and second when I posted. I’m so glad that this site is here for the Christian community! Thank you very much!

Unfortunately the edit feature is not letting me add pictures or take my phone number off one of the ads. It says there is an SQL error.

Kristine,
We were just working on our database and server… perhaps thats why you experienced the error. Please try again and let me know if the issue persists…

Hello, I am new here and posted my ad for Fundraising Bookmarks today. I don’t want to break the rules, can I post to different areas of the country? Thanks for your reply. Thanks for the site too.
admin 10:59 am on December 22, 2009 Permalink |
Kendall, Thanks for participating! Ads are local. You can have up to three ads active at the same time so you could post other ads in other areas. There is an option to have your ad appear nationally, we charge $10 per ad for the life of the ad for that. You can activate this option from the control panel when you log in.
Blessings!
George
