How to use the IM chat for marketplace


IM chat can be found in bottom left of your mpgh page you are browsing.
ALL Marketplace threads which require a contact method(Selling Section,Buying Section...) must have IM chat as its primary contact method.

If you have an old thread and want it reopened, simply edit your thread to replace your old contact method with IM chat - edits to older threads are reviewed by moderators before going live.

So how do you add the IM to your thread?

You will need to put the IM bb in the thread. (So it's hyperlinked and clickable)

Adding in the IM to your thread hyperlinks MPGH members to directly send a friend request to you. Example below..

https://i.gyazo.com/73d7b85e5487128d...2b502dfc77.mp4

You'll need use the following format to have that hyperlink show up in your thread



The "0000" in the first bracket is representing your profile id number, which is the number shown in the link when you visit your profile..

In my case - https://www.mpgh.net/forum/member.php?u=3114594

My profile id is 3114594, thus I would use the following format to add in my IM hyperlink.



Replace the numbers with your profile id and paste it into your thread, and thus people will be able to add you.

An example of what the hyper link looks like in a thread - Add me on IM



How to request thread edits


Update: You no longer need to request thread edits!

Use the Edit button on your post at any time. Edits made after the edit window are sent to the moderation queue and go live once a moderator approves them - no reports or PMs needed.


Reminder, if anything on the edit violates rules, it will be ignored. If a minion accidentally misses violated rules, that is still your responsibility and the thread will be closed. Minions aren't there to proof read thread edit requests, if it slips past them then your threads WILL be deleted.
