Public vote on a proposal for sub-forums within the Classifieds forum

See list, add name, maybe turn up, it's the LFGSS way.

That seems like a good idea.

Classifieds:

Complete bikes & frames
Components, clothing, miscellany
Wanted

Then we'd only have one place to check when we have something we're going to sell.

I like it.

bangs gavel

that's that settled.

now onto tags.

Can we have tags back in the footy thread now please mr administrator, benevloent dictator and arbitor of the ban hammer?

can we get rid of dreadful clothes threads ?

Having just joined the new system is more similar to other classifieds forums and with the large number of ads will certainly make browsing easier.

Great idea. When you post something for sale it disappears from the front page so fast.

Equally when I'm looking for a frame for sale I don't like to trawl through tonnes of pages.

Right... it's done.

But!

But there are some issues. I moved threads as best I could based on keyword and prefix matching.

So if you were selling a bike and used words like "complete" "bike" "frame", etc in the thread title, then it's in the Complete Bikes forum.

But, there were some obvious cases where people hadn't done that. I manually moved those, but I bet a few fell through the net.

If you find a thread in the wrong forum, then post the link in the moderators forum so that we know.

Aside from that, let's see how things go.

'Components and clothing' isn't fitting in the little drop down menu for me, it's cutting off half the g.

It's cutting off the 'ing' for me. I'll fix it, when I think of a better title to go there.

How did i miss this poll?

Not keen, the majority of threads on here are for large mixed lots of stuff, difficult to categorise. Perhaps a separate wanted section would suffice.

Being a bit thick I think - but has the "trade" thread gone?

Was there a trade thread?

Did you mean a search for Trade things?

You can still get that just by using Search and choosing the Trade prefix.

In the navigation I only put the top links, and trade is not even a double-digit percentage of transactions so I no longer have that up there. A bit like how not all forums are in the forums drop-down.

Makes sense.

Where should we put trades? In the for sale or wanted? Only so I get it right!

Thanks dude.

Worked it out.

Everything in either the "complete bikes" or "components" forums, except for wanted which are all in their own forum.

seems like a great idea splitting things up a bit.

Might be a step too far to have bikes and frames sub-divided by size but could we get people specifying size on the subject field? Would save a lot of time when searching for a 58/59cm

could become easy to lose things/harder to find things with a plit forum, but life should be challenging. I vote yes.

In that case, we should implement it straight away!

I'm on the case... I will have it done by yesterday.
