The classified section worked great when it was three pages long. Now it has exploded into a huge jungle of who knows what is in there?
I want to suggest a seperate section for the TC people. Almost as a rule, TC posters will not mention TC in their ad, those forum rules don't work. XB and XA people will, but TC'ers will not.
Let's break that into several sections:
TC
XA & XB
XA only
XB only
Misc. auto
Misc. other

Go in and wade through some of those ads and tell me what you think.

 

^^^I agree. And all of the stuff thats been sold needs to be cleared or something. Just too much stuff to not have organization.

 

How 'bout I go through maybe weekly and delete everything that doesn't follow the rules for titles, and maybe ban anyone who doesn't mark the title "SOLD" or "LOCK" when the sale is over, so we can lock it? :D

Seriously, there are a lot of changes that could be made to make it work better, but the same folks who can't add 'tC' to the title won't post in the right section, either.

The way the sale forums are set up, topics are automatically deleted after 30 days of no posts.

Anyway, the new version of the forums will be coming out in the near future, and I doubt there will be any changes until after the new software is in place.

(My favorite idea is a bunch of clickies one could choose that would put things like "tC" and "FS" and "WTB" and "xA" and "PU" in the subject line automaticly, and wouldn't let you start a sales topic until you chose at least one from each column. Of course there would still be those who would click the wrong ones. *sigh*

We're trying, really we are.

I spent about an hour in the classifieds this morning and now you must choose from a pair of droplists before you can enter text into the subject line. Take a look and let me know what you think.

 

Also, I think I solved our prune problem... so PPC and Sponsored sales will now be pruned again:
PPC: 7 days of inactivity
SS: 30 days of inactivity

 

Two excellent upgrades, Darren!!!

I'm sure you'll hear if there are any problems, but for right now it looks like an excellent solution to the problems.

Thanks! :D
