Where is the Post Thread Button in the Classifieds Forum?
To provide member verification, we require a 25 cent verification transaction through PayPal. Once you have completed the transaction, you are able to post without limitations. Complete the verification transaction here: https://forums.studentdoctor.net/account/upgrades

How do I become a verified vendor?
We strongly recommend that all businesses identify themselves as vendors on the forum. By choosing to be transparent about your identity, you help make SDN a more trusted resource. Vendors who are given the Vendor badge are able to post in the Advising Services & Discounts and Test Prep Services & Discounts forums. They can also use their logo as an avatar.

Identified Vendors are also able to apply to answer questions in our Confidential Consult area.

Enter a help desk request if you are interested in receiving the Vendor badge. You will be required to provide your business name, address, state of incorporation, and EIN.

Looking for an answer? :unsure:

In most SDN forums, you can now ask a question and then let the best answer get up-voted by the membership. To use the new Q&A thread format, select the "Question" tab when starting a new thread.
