Fiz, I don't think you ever buy anything, so I don't see this as an issue for anyone but you.

As Steps suggested, I use the "New Posts" facility and this negates the need for any sub forums in the BSE part.


You keeping an eye on me, sorry i dont swing that way but thanks for the attention. But keep it polite, non personal and positive as per the forum rules. Thumbs Up

What Steps suggests is, as someone Reel deal said, what we all already do anyway.

There is no point posting for sale items and having multiple bumps on them, we may as well ban selling large items that take longer than 2 days to sell from the threads, it makes no sense to waste forum storage resources and make it hard for people to find specific items of interest.

Bu Smudge has spoken so will leave it there.

It’s items still for sale etc that get buried and seller has to go in and bump to get it noticed again.

I look at that and think
 "is that actually a problem?"
Think trademe. listing expires gets "bumped  I mean relisted right?
 Think it it thru, even with sub forums, and many maybe most use new posts function, it is seen then buried till bumped up.. or a new thread made..bump is easier..
 
 And those who dont use new posts, the threads will get relegated back anyway..
So what is the point of sub forums that just make volunteer moderators job  more  because have to move posts in more subforums around when in wrong place... and far more to cruise thru making sure everything is all good.
Bump would still have to exist.

Sub forums more complex more work and nothing will change

 There are sometimes when ideas etc are put forward, rather than flog a dieing horse, a simple " Didnt look at it that way, see what you mean" type comment.
