Ok, here's an idea that I believe would help cure the controversy over the classifieds(in addition to adding a "NEW" icon to new ads posted in the classifieds.).
I think alot of the reason people dont look beyond pages 2 or 3 in the classifieds is because there are so many closed ads cluttering up the pages beyond. People have asked that the closed ads be removed before, and the argument to keep them has always been that the closed ads are a good resource to see what firearms are worth. I totally agree with that. It is great to be able to look at deals from the past to see what different guns were selling for.
BUT! It does REALLY clutter up the CURRENT ads, to see SO MANY closed ads mixed in with everything for sale.
SO! Can we open a new area in NWFA, that is an automatic destination for closed ads? So what would happen is, when someone closes an ad, rather than sitting in that thread forever, it is AUTOMATICALLY moved to another section specifically for ONLY closed ads.
Does this make sense? Not sure if Im explaining it well enough.
I think if we did that, PLUS added "NEW" icons to all new ads to the classifieds, we would not need to "BUMP" ads anymore! The list of pages would DRAMATICALLY reduce, making it SO MUCH easier to surf current items for sale.
Let me know what you all think!
