thebuns1 4,323 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Its much more organized and will be much better for navigation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jbanzai 113 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hopefully it will produce better results. Maybe the sales forums should be relocated next to the general discussion forum. The sales forum is kinda slow around here compared to other forums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mostholycerebus 415 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It didnt really seem so busy that it really needed splitting, yet. Was getting there, but I could still check it daily and get everything new on one page. In my experience, breaking up a forum like that too early can kill it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Looks much better. Are you going to include a way for members to close threads after sales have been completed, so that ancient threads from don't get resurected? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, but if the member either marks it SOLD or PM's a Mod we can lock it for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It would be helpful if settings were changed so that titles could be edited, or at least so that older posts could be edited, in those subforums only. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zombiehunter762 376 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I think it's way better. Organized and everything in it's place. Good job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeluvsk 58 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I don't like change. As it may look better I personally liked the one thread scrolling the daily ads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RED333 1,025 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 MUCH, MUCH better, Thanks Much! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I am sure I will get use to it BUT I liked it the other way. That way I could just click on one subforum and scroll down and look for todays new posts. Now I have to look a several subforums and when I go back to find something I will have remember where I saw it Because those of us that have been here long enough know that there is alot of members that dont know where to post things and they have to get moved alot. I dont know what you mods have to put up with behind the scenes but if it makes your job easier then I am all for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evlblkwpnz 3,418 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 It would be helpful if settings were changed so that titles could be edited, or at least so that older posts could be edited, in those subforums only. Kind of sucks to not be able to put a price in the title. Title editing would be an extremely welcome addition. Looks much better. Are you going to include a way for members to close threads after sales have been completed, so that ancient threads from don't get resurected? I get people asking if stuff is still available months later. It is as if they are reading the title, not scrolling down to see what happened, and just sending an IM. This is an excellent idea, IMO. Overall, I think it is a great change. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaKen 338 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Pros: (If everyone posts in the correct section.....)you can find specifically what your looking for Your ad gets to stay on the first page longer....... Cons: Everytime I hit the "back page" to go to the next part of the classifeds......i have to scroll all the way back to the bottom of the web page...annoying\time consuming Another improvement would to have a "forum business member section"........When I go to the classifieds, I'm not looking for a forum business member sale....I'm looking for a "private owner" sale 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
physicsnerd 139 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I like it the old way better because it was easy to see all the new posts and see what has been updated when you're browsing. Now one moderate use section is split into 5 sections. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theorangeplanet 968 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I like it, but I think we could do without the separate AK, other rifle/shotgun, and pistol sections. I think one firearms section would suffice for the amount of traffic going on. I also like the idea mentioned above of moving the section higher up in order to generate more traffic. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zenman223 460 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Not a fan, It was much easier to see what ALL was for sale befor. I've never been in there looking for anything specific. So now in order to see what all is for sale I have to go into 5 different forums. I could see it needing to be done if there was pages of recent for sale posts but that wasnt the case so I dont see the point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 I don't think I've ever said this before... I could swing either way. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
horatio 515 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I agree with those who said the old one was better. i try to cruise through there daily and everything was seen at a glance. Now i have to check each section individually, not a big deal, but it's not my preference. FWIW i agree with risky. A firearms and an other, or whatever named section would go alot further IMHO.

schultze13 354 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Not only are there "Shoguns" but there are also "DMPS" 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VR762Shooter 838 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Not only are there "Shoguns" but there are also "DMPS" DMPS shoguns only train in Tibet 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Am I going blind? I can't find any Shoguns in the Shogun section.... Mine has them right in the title And as long as we're nitpicking spelling errors - "ect" should be etc., as in et cetera. And for fuck's sake, all of the posted stickies with apostrophes. AN APOSTROPHE DOES NOT INDICATE PLURALITY. IT INDICATES A CONTRACTION, OR IN SOME CASES, POSSESSION. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MT Predator 2,294 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 I like it, but I think we could do without the separate AK, other rifle/shotgun, and pistol sections. I think one firearms section would suffice for the amount of traffic going on. I also like the idea mentioned above of moving the section higher up in order to generate more traffic. +1. Plus maybe a separate one for vendors so the WTS doesn't get cluttered with "ads". If they are a vendor, they should already have their own section anyway. If I want to see what a particular vendor has in stock, I'd rather visit their section. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 Like the separation of firearms, parts and misc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chevyman097 2,579 Posted November 25, 2012 Report Share Posted November 25, 2012 it looks good but one thing I noticed is there is two different sections for rifles/shotguns. Might combine them. There isnt so many sales that we probably need two sections for that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
well2160 42 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Like it. Easier to find what you're looking for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shandlanos 1,470 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Until... One business member, mostly, started flooding it. I raised that concern, it was dismissed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
