Fix a typo in a group post

Posts could be deleted but not corrected, so a misspelling meant starting again.

  • Edit sits beside Delete under your own posts in a group.
  • Group owners and moderators can edit any post in their group.
  • A post that has been changed shows a small · edited mark, so readers know it was corrected.

Groups: your own space on the market

A board is shared by everyone. A group belongs to the people in it.

  • Any member can start a group — a team, a club, a street watch, a hobby. Give it a name, a photo and a few sentences about what it is for.
  • Choose Open to everyone and anybody can read it and join in one click, or Invite only and the posts stay private until the owner approves you.
  • Each group has its own cover photo, an About this group panel, a wall for posts and photos, comments, and the member list down the side.
  • Members can invite people by name, and owners can approve requests, make a moderator, remove someone, edit the group or delete it.
  • The new Groups link sits in the left column between Businesses and Events.

The reply box waits until you press Comment

Every post used to carry an open text box, which made a busy board twice as long to read.

  • Each post now has a Comment button. Press it and the box opens under that post, ready to type.
  • Only one box is open at a time, so the page never turns into a wall of empty boxes.
  • If you close it with something half-typed, your words are still there when you open it again.
  • Escape, or a click anywhere outside, closes it without posting.

Quote the thing you are answering

On a long thread nobody can tell which reply belongs to which post.

  • Quote now sits beside Like, Comment and Share — on the post itself and on every comment.
  • Your reply opens with the original in a bordered box, with the author’s name above it.
  • Quoting a comment answers that comment; quoting the main post starts a fresh reply.
  • A signed-out visitor is asked to log in first, then comes straight back to the box they pressed.

Show a listing inside your post — even someone else’s

Talking about an item is easier when the item is part of the conversation.

  • Attach a listing opens a searchable list of every active or reserved item on the market, not just your own.
  • Type a few letters to narrow it down; each result shows the price, the town and who is selling it.
  • The post says Listed by the seller’s name, so nobody mistakes it for yours.
  • The seller is told their item was mentioned, and up to three listings fit in one post.
  • Choosing listings when you start a new post works the same way, with the search box at the bottom of the picker.

Boards are grouped, and you can search them

Finding the right board used to mean reading down one long column of names.

  • Boards now sit under headings — chat, buying and selling, safety, help — so the kind of board is clear before you read the name.
  • A search box filters the list as you type; type scam and only the boards that match stay on screen.
  • Every line shows how many posts it holds and when it was last active.
  • Sections with no matches fold away while you search, so you never scroll past empty headings.

The community fits a phone screen

Like, Comment, Quote and Share sat in one long row and pushed the page wider than the screen, so everything slid sideways.

  • On a phone those four buttons now sit two to a line, inside the card.
  • The page fills the screen instead of scrolling sideways — on every post and every board.

The community got a big rebuild

It works more like the apps you already use.

  • Posts show as cards with the picture first, not as a list of links.
  • Comments open right under the post instead of loading a new page.
  • You can reply to a reply, and edit or delete your own comments.
  • You get one email per thread when someone answers you, not one per reply.
  • Search now digs through every post ever made, not just the recent ones.
  • Categories are down the side, and there is one feed instead of a board index to click through.

The unread count actually clears now

It used to sit there saying “2” no matter what you did.

  • Opening a post marks it read, and the number goes down the way it should.
  • Your own posts no longer count as unread just because you are the one who wrote them.
  • A post that gets deleted no longer leaves a notification stuck behind it.

More than one photo in a post

Because one picture is rarely enough.

  • Up to four photos fit in a neat grid, and any extras show as +3 so you know there is more.
  • Tap a photo to see it full size without leaving the page.

New replies show up without refreshing

You no longer have to keep hitting reload to see if anyone answered.

  • A small count appears when someone replies while you are reading.
  • It pauses while you are typing, so nothing jumps around mid-sentence.
