Member Plugin Info

Hi,
We have a useful tool hat will help you use BournemouthFreegle called The Freegle Member Plug-in which works with Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) and Mozilla Firefox.
Here are the most obvious benefits:
A button in the MESSAGE SCREEN to hide completed transactions so only the 'live' ones are still visible. It toggles between 'Hide completed posts' and `Show all posts'. Completed posts are linked so anyone with the plug-in can easily see the offer has been taken or the wanted received without having to search.
The POST SCREEN becomes easier to use, as the key words (OFFERED/WANTED/TAKEN/RECEIVED) and Location don't have to be typed in after first use.
The `MY POSTS' SCREEN is useful in letting you see all of your recent messages, and your offered and wanted messages have a button (that only you can see), to produce a taken or received message. The button is only there for those you haven't already completed so it is also a reminder in case you forget to let people know. There is the FOP "FAIR OFFER POLICY " button that lets others know you will wait a at least 24 hours before deciding who gets your offer and finally a button to disable the plug-in if for some reason you need to do this. It toggles between 'Disable' and 'Enable'.
In fact the Freegle Member Plug-in opens up a new experience, and is very 'user friendly'. At the time of writing this we haven't had any requests from those using the plug-in asking how to use it. They have apparently just installed it and started using it. Why not join us? Go to
