Classified Location ????

#1

Post by needsmostuff »

Quick thought on setting up the classified ads from the get go with a requirement for a location. Nothing definitive like an address but at least a town /city or part of town needing to be included in the original ad. Heck, even a location in your profile would help. Like a price is required location of some sort should be mandatory. A lot of useless traffic is generated with recurring questions of where the item is .

Done.

And it's required for new registrations. Of course, I can't control what people put in there.

Is there anyway information from the classified can be brought back or found? Reason I'm asking is I had a buyer for my rifle and then the site went down.

Completely different site - and not mine, so unlikely. From what I heard, their DB is corrupt.

Location requirement would help and save lots of questions.

It is required since I made that post above. Those who already registered prior to that change - it isn't required for them, though.

Good idea on location!

Do we get any “status” to immidiately lost in classifieds if we were/are an already known from yiur time previously or after the new AZS guy took over?

Glad you’re back!

I think he wants to know if those of us returning can get access to the classifieds right away since many of us buy/sell/trade in there a lot.

Thank you to whoever built this replacement site. I had hoped they would of been able to repair the old one but this new one is very nice. I appreciate the guys behind saving this resource for us.

Now I'm off to find the "In need of services section"
