    Default Classifieds area suggestion.

    Can admin break it down to an area for hand guns and then riffles and the shotguns and then black powder. I feel it's to hard to get folks to look at your adds when they keep getting bumped back. Thanks AL

    There aren't all that many new adds for guns daily to make it difficult to check them all every few days. The classifieds are more of a bonus on this forum and will probably never be changed in any major way. At least that is the vibe I have always gotten here.
    Some people just plain suck.

    If the activity on these boards were considerably higher, I would agree to making separate sub forums...but, not a lot going on.

    It's a great suggestion and ideally it would be done. However, people have a hard enough time getting their threads in the appropriate section as it is. Adding more sub forums would just add to the confusion and cause a lot more work for the mods.
    Let's not forget there are still species of tropical penguins living in the Galapagos.

    I think we just need to post more often and then we’ll gain traction on the posts we want to see

    Unlike some I believe change can be good. Maybe separate sections for different firearms would be good. I think it would be nice if posters would also list there location when posting, it sucks when you find a firearm you are interested in only to open it and find you have to drive across the state to and pick it up.

    I agree. Opening a post is way to hard.

    I agree with the OP even though the post is dated 2017. If the classifieds were sorted into more defined subcategories it would be easier to search/browse for something specific vs digging thru days upon days of posts. The search feature while useful isn't ideal when you are just browsing for something like say pistol mags for any of the multiple ones most of us own.

    Great example is the VA Gun Trader forum. Its logically sorted into categories and is easy to navigate.

    I understand it would take some time and work on the moderators/admins to restructure the classifieds but once changed it falls on the poster to get their items into the correct place. Something as simple as a PM to the OP for posting in the wrong category would mitigate problems and after xx days the post could be deleted/moved by an admin. Tie that into REP power deductions so it has some consequences to it.
