Swap meet forum suggestion for mods?

Boscoe · 22nd February 2011, 09:32 PM

Hi, I think this is the right place forgive me if not.

But a little request to make things easier in the swap meet section.

Could with have separate sub forums for UK, US, Canada, etc, I'll see something I like someone has to sell and I find out it's in the US I just think it'll make browsing the items for sale much more efficient and so result in better sales.

Thanks
Boscoe

Well, instead of having more and more sub-forums to browse, I would suggest as a good practice for sellers to simply put between brackets the initials of their country in the title?
Best,

Thomas

Also good but are people going to do this?

I've bought stuff from members in the US and Germany. I've sold stuff to Denmark and Hong Kong. What's the problem?

Sorry, but how hard is it to look left and refer to a member's Location?

pinkmouse · 22nd February 2011, 10:30 PM

Always assuming they've filled in all their user details.

Another thing. Needed is some way to close, mark, or (best) remove threads for items that are already sold or bought.

What Dave said. +1

Auto-remove them after a time. Bumping by the OP would circumvent this for items still available.

I've often thought to close the threads that are "sold." But it's never been policy to do so.
Might keep folks from digging up old ones. The auto-remove would be nice.
