I have at least one WTB ad that I bump occasionally (looking for an additional barrel for my Shockwave).
This morning I bumped it again. Then I clicked on the "Classifieds" menu item at the top of the site page and did not see it listed there, as I expected it to be bumped up in the classifieds forum list.
Only if I go explicitly (drill down) to https://www.northwestfirearms.com/classifieds/wanted/parts/ do I see that my bumped ad is now bumped but not in the same way it was bumped before the upgrade/update.
The reason for bumping ads is to give it visibility to members, so that they will see an ad posted/etc. sometime in the past, that is still open. But even if I ad a post to the ad thread, and then click on the classified again, it still is not bumped into that list.
The list seems to be always ordered by the original posting date - which I understand, but still, how is someone to see what ads were bumped if they don't drill down into the actual sub-section of the classifieds. IMO, this makes bumping of very little use as most people will just be looking at the new list, which doesn't show bumped ads. How many people drill down into the sub-sections anymore, especially if it isn't a gun or ammo section?
