On LOAD gameFinderzz returns a list of game posts ordered by most recently posted. In order to access user features you can sign in with test user name [email protected] and password admin.

Once users have logged in they can post a new ad and see it show up on the home screen main list.

By clicking on an ad you can go directly to the game post where you can add the game to your favourites and also send a message about the post. Once you have you will be brought to the conversation thread. The thread along with other sent messages can always be accessed by clicking on Inbox. You can also view the games you have favourited by navigating to the favourites screen. By navigating to my ads you can mark a game as sold and also remove games that you have posted.
