There are two reasons that I have added a 'Quick Access' facility for adding Ebay listings to forum posts;

1. It helps me out no end if you use it.
2. It makes it easier for people who struggle to post links to items.

To use it is simple.

When you post a new topic, or use the 'Add Reply' button to reply to another post, you will see a 'Quick Access' menu to the left. At the point where you want to add your Ebay link, click the 'Insert: Ebay Link' button (I've circled this on the attached picture.

In the top box, entitled 'Option Text', you can enter any text. i.e. "Click here to see my fishing rod auction".

In the bottom box, entitled 'Content Text', you enter the item ID. When viewing an item on Ebay, this is at the top right of the page, on the same line as the product's title.

Once you've done that, hit the 'OK' button and it's done.

Feel free to use this thread to give it a try, by posting some sample auctions up. As well as the For Sale forum on Anglers' Net, Ebay auctions have often been used as topics of discussions and references in answers to questions. Therefore, I hope that this is one facility that you make use of.

Thanks to Si, one of the forum Admins, for developing this. This facility isn't available on any other Invision Power Board at present, I believe, so you're lucky
