Dave J Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Im seeking a forsale section in usable condition, free from wants. I know theses havent been available for some time but maybe if others were interested we could get a bulk buy on the go ?.If anyone has such a forsale section knocking around at the back of the garage could they please dig it out ?.Failing that I'll blame it on Brexit or facebook or somefink.ta muchly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivaan Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I agree. It's a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_ASH Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I too am looking for the two separate parts, individually identified by the letters FS and WTD. Much like everyone else I appear to have the combined item which is followed by the exclamation FFS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted October 12, 2018 Leadership Team Share Posted October 12, 2018 YES PLEASE!Have I missed this?Is there still time to get my order in?Who's arranging the bulk buy?And is there a pdf version available? Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rj Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 No pdf, but there used to be a somewhat limited version in Low Flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Nick Bassett Posted October 15, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted October 15, 2018 Please bring back the individual 'WANTED' tab... the combined 'much improved' FS/WANTED set up is a mess and not a step forward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted October 15, 2018 Leadership Team Share Posted October 15, 2018 Dave, I think I've found what you're looking for, possibly a bit of a mongrel and sometimes a little tatty round the edges but should tick all the boxes .... here Stu.

Tazio Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Stu,Sad to say that's exactly how it should be done.....hope Shaun is listening...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Support Team Shaun_E Posted October 15, 2018 Support Team Share Posted October 15, 2018 It's a bit like politics - you can't please everyone. When there were 2 forum sections we got complaints about that - no-one ever looked in "Wanted" before posting a for sale item.If the "tick box" to select FS or Wtd were more obvious, would that be better? It's easy enough to have NDP re-instate the Wanted section and re-name the Marketplace to For Sale but it will have a cost. Not so easy to find the "Wanted" ads and move them though unless members have selected the type! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finmac Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I must be in a minority as I think it's OK the way it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 You are Finmac, just look at the Westfield site , see how clear it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 16, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted October 16, 2018 No Finmac, I would suggest that the minority are vociferous and the majority are quiet.Giving more prominence to the wanted posts is clearly an improvement. What will be noticed soon is that posts will be headlined "FOR SALE" or "WANTED" followed by the headline. If simplification and fewer divisions are wanted (people asked for this) then subsuming the much less used sections into relevant popular ones (in this case the wanted and bulk buys with for sale) is logical and perfectly manageable.You will also notice that our clever members will edit their original posts from "FOR SALE" to "SOLD" (as you, Finmac, did).

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted October 16, 2018 Leadership Team Share Posted October 16, 2018 GJT, why would you assume that the ones who are vocal are the minority? I gave an example of another forum that works the old way and works well, there's plenty more the same. Or are we determined to reinvent the wheel?Stu.

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted October 17, 2018 Area Representative Share Posted October 17, 2018 Hi Stu, I'm putting a case forward. Of the readers of BC, a dozen have posted in this thread. I'm fairly confident we have more than two dozen readers.Even with the polarisation of opinion, I am allowed to make the alternative case, surely?

Dave J Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 and did the silent majority ask for the combined forsale / wanted section ?No they didn’t ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Can the software be altered so that when posted in 'Marketplace' you can click a box 'For Sale' or 'Wanted' and it automatically puts FOR SALE or WANTED at the start of the post? Might make it clearer/ easier for advertisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted October 17, 2018 Leadership Team Share Posted October 17, 2018 Tom, it's already there but you need to go to "advanced" which is more long winded than it needs to be ... surely it would make much more sense if there was not a second tab and the choices were on the main posting page?

rj Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Why does everything with this forum have to be so complicated?You need a degree in searching to use the search; you need a degree in posting in marketplaces to ...ETC...Stephen, The silent majority does not necessarily agree - they may have moved away from the site. It may be a coincidence, but it's a bit strange how the activity dropped when the forum changed. I think, and this is not meant to nag at Shaun - it's the software, it has a total lack of user friendliness in any way.Do it like a Seven: Make it silly simple. As it is now it's like selecting sports mode in a BMW M5 - you have to turn and push the jog wheel around ten times to get there where in other cars you have one button to push. I don't like the BMW user interface... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
