Cant find my way at all...and when I can,closed/trade/sales are all mixed up in no particular order.
Almost look like somebody wants us to stay away!
My wallet thanks you,my hoarding addiction does not.
Bring back the old classifieds!
Not sure why you think it's more mixed up now than before. Not only did the old classifieds have "closed/trade/sales" but it also had wants. Closed
threads are moved periodically
through the day at no specific interval. We separated the wanted and sale/trade due to the similarity of the transaction. Sure their could be even more separation but we didn't want 10 different sub-forums.
I appreciate all the work that's gone into reproducing the classys. And I like that it is somewhat safer but I don't like the lay out. I'd love to see the format of the of the classy changed back to the original but keep the safety rules in place.
The reason for the new format and the use of the form is due to lack of adherence to requirements of a classified ad. Members were leaving pertinent information out of their post either
through forgetfulness or not reading and understanding the rules. Now with the form everything is uniform and you know exactly where to look for important information. What people don't understand is we had to go behind all these incorrect post and either have them member correct the error, close the thread and have them repost, or repair them ourselves. Think about the time consumed handling these issues, when they could be avoided if the member would have just followed the rules. That's not even mentioning the process we have to follow on the reports sent on the erred threads, documenting everything we did to resolve the report.
So yeah, you may not like the forms or the new format but it serves a purpose. That purpose is that the information that's needed for a proper ad is now required and reduces not only our workload but also provides most all information needed to the reader.
So in conclusion, the old classifieds are gone forever and will never be brought back.
