Help, Hints, Tips and Rules for posting

Posting your Miniature horse and Shetland pony sales on our boards. First Some QUICK TIPS...

PERSONAL ADS ONLY - Lil Beginnings Miniature Horses reserves the right to remove any ad(s) that we feel are inappropriate or that do not follow the rules and it is to be used for your own personal ads only. Only Mini Horses and Shetland ponies you own and/or that are registered in YOUR NAME can be posted  by you. PLEASE DO NOT PLACE ADS FOR OTHER PEOPLE! All second-party ads, unless arrangements have been made with us - see "listing agents" below, will be removed from the board. This is Strictly enforced. Also any free sale board ads or paid banner ads directing to other sale listings or auctions, special sales, other public message boards, multi-party sales lists, agent listings and "like" commercial Website promotions or Websites are not permitted on the board. Special Auction sales and announcements, see below, require a fee to post.

**1 DURATION OF ADS - You may post 1 ONE free ad every 8 days (Ads are up for 7 days) Combine your horses and/or tack items for sale into one ad ... NOTE: IF you have more than 3 horses you want to post go ahead and post 2 ads and email me when you get done posting (you will see an error) and I'll approve it so you will have more than one free advert on the board.
   Featured ads run for 30 days
AND you may still post a free ad. every 8 days while it runs. note: Our Miniature Horse Farm Directory members enjoy FREE Feature ads monthly!
 **1 read more for further clarification.

Please do NOT put your EMAIL, PHONE, OR ANY WEB ADDRESS in the descriptive text of your advert. If you add them within the ad body it will be removed.
No personal contact information or links to any pages are to be put into the body of your advert. This information is to be added only where specified.

COMMERCIAL TACK & ? COMPANY ADS - Our Commercial Directory Members who sponsor this site are encouraged to post! Your ads will be Featured for 30 days (you may also post additional free ads every 8 days while your featured ad is running) also use the rotating Banner Ad system to advertise more frequently and get more exposure. No other commercial ads are allowed to be posted on our free boards. Please click here, we would love for you to consider joining our membership directory it's only $3.50 per month, paid yearly, AND you get free banner ads and Free sales board Featured Ads! can't beat it!!

*NOTE There is NO category to sell trailers on our boards. If you personally own a Miniature Horse trailer and want to list it in a free advert --- You must have a horse or tack for sale under the appropriate category then you may add mention and a photo of your trailer at the end of your ad, You cannot post it alone. The ad. must focus on being a for sale ad. for a appropriately categorized item.
Our Paid Directory Members may post their personally owned Miniature Horse trailers for sale.
Otherwise ALL trailer only ads must be approved BEFORE posting and will require a fee to post -No exceptions.

All Equine transportation queries, requests for quotes, and/or solicitations to transport need to be posted in the correct category. If you charge a fee to transport horses on your own trailer use the "transport available" category. There is also a "transport needed" cetegory.  If you provide Free delivery for horses in your name that you have for sale just list that with your horses for sale advert.

A few quick tips about compiling and posting.

1. - MAKE A COPY OF YOUR AD -  It's easiest and faster for you to Type out your ad first in MS Word, e-mail or some other text editor program or text file first - save it - then login to post your ad. (your password sign-in times out after so long) Have your urls ready to insert -The more photos the better!! or have your 2 photos you are allowed to upload ready...please resize those if they are too large.

2.  *YOUR CONTACT / EMAIL ADDRESS - !! FOR YOUR PROTECTION DO NOT PUT YOUR EMAIL, PHONE NUMBER, OR WEB ADDRESS IN THE DESCRIPTIVE TEXT OF YOUR AD BODY. PUT IT ONLY WHERE INDICATED. NOT putting  your email address in the body of your ad. (making it visible in your descriptive text on the main sale board page) makes it less likely that you will receive spam replies. The reason being; spam bots and other automated programs that troll the web to harvest contact information including email addresses and phone numbers are VERY unlikely to use the "click here for more details" link on the main page to get your email address and phone number. This is a security measure.

3.  IMAGES   Images you add to the main body of your sale board ad will show up with the word "Picture" on the main page.. People who view our sales boards main page have to click on "CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS" to see your full ad with pictures and to get your contact information (this is a security feature for you). These are the ads that get the most interest!! these ads generate a lot of click throughs to see your horses photos or items for sale as well as your contact information.

Posting your pictures in the large Text Box (advert description box)

Click on "Advanced Editor" - click on the little picture - fill in the IMAGE URL address and you can add many, many pictures of your horses or items for sale that will be seen by everyone when they click to view your ad.
You can also Embed Video by clicking on the filmstrip icon.!! 
Remember a picture is worth a thousand words! show the world your best pictures!! good luck with your ad.!

4. - IMAGE URL box - THIS IS OPTIONAL.  Using this option images must be hosted elsewhere, like your personal Website or a photo storage site. You will add the url of your chosen image in the box.  If image is very large in bytes, the system will not accept it to post on main sale board page (top left below title). ALSO some sites do not allow remote linking of the image (it steals bandwidth). See info below on "How to find your Image URL" if you'd like to use this feature.

5. NO SYMBOLS - Ad will not post if you use symbols in title and body of ad - @#%^&*[>} <<< This causes security issues.

**IMPORTANT - Please Note

I know this looks like a lot of information & rules, but the Sale Board is very popular and not very fun to host if people abuse it.  To keep this board running smoothly and to be considerate to others that are placing/reading ads, please read this. 

**1 DURATION OF ADS -- Free Ads are up for 7 days.. Do not post more than one personal ad within 8 days. Please do not circumvent this rule by deleting your ad. Just because you DELETE your old ad this does not allow you to post a new ad, or the same ad again immediately or 2 to 3 days later! The 8 days still apply.  Please! the earliest you can post your next free ad. is usually on day 8 morning or check on day 7 beginnings after NOON, I have noticed that sometimes the board does not purge the ads until after noon. If you accidently miscount and receive a error while posting your new advert saying your time is not up yet... please email me! your ad will still be there pending for 24 hours and I can enable it for you.  Paid ads (and directory member ads) are Featured and run for 30 days AND you can still run a free ad. every 8 days while it runs. note: Our Miniature Horse Farm Directory members enjoy FREE Feature ads monthly! 

Do not open more than one free saleboard account with different email addresses in order to post more ads. If you do, it will be deleted.

AUCTIONS & SALES ANNOUNCEMENTS - LB Miniature Horse Sale Boards are designed for personal sales only. See these options to advertise public Sales, multi party sales, & organized auctions ON THIS PAGE.

SIZE OF PHOTOS - Ads that cause problems because pictures are too wide, will be removed. If I see them and have time I will decrease the size for you,

BAD SCRIPTSSometimes bad script codes (by trying to post pictures and links) cause total shutdown of people's web-browsers. Should I be aware of a bad script causing a problem, I will remove the message from the sale board.  We will NOT notify the owner of the bad script post, so if you notice you have a message missing, it is because of web-browser conflicts (or possibly not following our sale board rules). Please post your message again with the proper script. 

DISCLAIMER - Lil Beginnings Miniature Horses is not responsible for any sales, losses or misrepresented ads made through our Sale Board (also see Lil Beginnings web-site policy below **).

OTHER PROBLEMS??? - The sale board is monitored on a daily basis and we most likely know when it goes down or has problems. If you have problems with understanding the photo instructions on this page, then perhaps it is to far advanced for you at this time. It is suggest that you have a knowledgeable friend show you personally how to do it or you may want to consider taking a basic computer coarse. Don't let all the instructions intimidate you it is really easy! you can do it! Please do not e-mail me asking for assistance in posting pictures on the sale board.
