Title: Classified Titles
Post by: Car nut on 19 June 2009, 09:14: Most probably been said a 1000 times :smiley:

But it would be a whole lot easier if when people put up an add

to start there title with which ever model they got eg:

MK4 Rear Springs
Mk3 Exhaust

Would make life so much easier for people

Then if people did that perhaps the Mods could put a filter on :grin: :grin:

Now you can all tell me its been said before :grin: :grin: :wink:

Post by: jv on 26 June 2009, 10:00: I see 2 problems:

Firstly, you will have so many categories as underneath each mk heading you would then still want all the sub categories. The forum layout doesn't very well suit that.
Secondly, there will be so much cross posting of things that could fit more than one mk.

I am still tempted to spin off the classifieds into a separate bit of specific web software. Downside would be the amount of work to set up and admin it (all the scam complaints etc!), plus having people add a second account on the classifieds.

I'll look into the options again though :)

Ditto.

No disrespect at all to the earlier marks, but their 'parts' just don't interest me - and because the classifieds section is NOT grouped by marks, I just don't venture in there - which is a real shame, because like the rest of this site, the classified section could be a really great resource - when at the moment, it is a bit like marmite. :sad:

Post by: bored_Welsh_lad on 12 September 2009, 07:24: its because people are too lazy to name things properly which is why the search engine doesnt work 110%.. its cos you get named threads like "help me".. and sh!t like that...

had a better idea.. enforce new guidelines for the classified section that the marque of the car should go into the title...with a location and price..
