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,you will have to request thread edits to replace your old contact method with IM chat.

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

---

This'll be a guide on how to request thread edits, if the following steps aren't followed then your requests will be ignored.

1) Copy and paste your whole thread layout into pastebin(with the desired changes) - https://pastebin.com/
You can copy your current thread layout by quotion your post.

After that you can edit it how you want and if you want to make sure thread looks how you would like it to be you can use the "Preview Post" feature. Just go into any section and click on start a new thread. Instead of submitting it, click on "Preview Post"

2)Report the thread with the link of the pastebin, as reporting is faster and more efficient than contacting each staff individually.
3)Alternatively you may also send the link of the paste data to the section minions via Private Messages. (Link should look like this - https://pastebin.com/Qx4UQqNc)
Private messages are found under the profile picture of the person you are trying to send the private message to.
You can also press the report button on your thread and include the link in the report.

4) Also send the link to the thread that you'd like to be modified. Example - https://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1328631

Example of how a thread edit request should look like.

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.
