From today's announcement:

Dear boards.ie members -

We are happy to announce the beta launch of our new classified adverts site:

www.adverts.ie

where users of our For Sale section can continue to post items for sale, but through a new interface focussed towards buying and selling items.

boards.ie has been very successful with its existing For Sale section, with nearly 45,000 items placed for sale, and with each item receiving an average of 7 replies regarding the sale.

As regards the existing For Sale section, all the categories have been replicated at the Adverts site, and boards.ie accounts will also work at www.adverts.ie. We envisage both services (new and old) running in parallel during this beta period, with a phasing out of the For Sale forums over the next few weeks; however a general Adverts forum will be opened for help, questions, etc. about the new service.

Please feel free to use this general Adverts forum (link below) to discuss the new service, and we hope this meets with your general approval.

Adverts Support

All the best,

The boards.ie Team

[...] John Breslin announced a new classified ads website this morning, at the domain adverts.ie. A good site like this is sorely lacking in Ireland, and it being tied to Boards.ie is a boon to both the Boards crew and the community, since they have a captive audience that doesn’t need to (re-)register to post an item.

Ad images are blocked by Adblock, unfortunately, because of the domain name. The downside of having an appropriate domain in the advertising market. Might want to tip people to whitelist the site.
