The Follow Feature
The FOLLOW Feature
This is one of the greatest features on the entire site. This feature allows YOU "The Member" to choose what you want to be informed of and to limit the number of emails you receive from the site. You can Follow just about anything, from entire categories to single topics, even your own postings and more. Follow a calendar of events or follow the news category or even a balloon club. Follow a PZ map at a balloon event!
Choose the items that interest you. When you have found an answer or wish to no longer receive emails just, UN - Follow when you want. There are many many balloonists who are part of the "Reflector" email system. On HotAirBalloonist you can use the Follow this topic or Follow this Forum feature to do the same thing. Any topic or any forum you are interested in you can simply check the box at the top of the first entry. Once you have checked this box anytime someone adds a new topic or a new reply, you get an instant email notice with the actual comments that were posted in the forum or topic you are following. Choose the items you want to hear about and if you get tired of a subject or you have found the answer you were looking for you just select UN-FOLLOW and poof no more emails. Say on top of what you want without getting tons of emails about stuff you don't what to hear about.
This feature has all the benefit of the reflector with YOU in the drivers seat!
Remember that when you post a topic make sure the Follow box is checked to receive instant notifications when a reply to your post has been made! Unlike the reflector you can add photos to your topics too!

First, Identify the category your equipment should be listed in. As you will see there are many different categories for all kinds of equipment. Find the category that best fits the equipment you have for sale.
Next you want to have a good title for your topic.
2010 Aerostar 105 Classic basket low hrs.
Something short and sweet that gives the visitor a good idea of what you are selling.
Then in your topic go wild! The more information the better. Tell us everything you can about what you have for sale. be as detailed as you want and don't forget to add your contact information. (remember that everyone can see your topic even people who are not members) Be as complete with your contact information as you can. Email, Web Links, Phone Numbers everything.
Then ad photos. As many as you can! You have a 10MB limit but if you size your photos about 600 X 800 pixels you should be able to get about 25 to 30 of them loaded.
If you are a guest you will have to check the box "I am not a Robot" If you are a member on the site make sure you log in and check the box "Notify me of replies"
