Why is it that ........................... has taken the place of the "For Sale" section please? I know the Mod's are busy people and only do this thing when they have time - BUT - before the annual rash of footbal stories and results that have nothing at all to do with the TRNC starts up again, can we move or put a halt to the new system of advertising by .................................................................................Car - Cheap...................................................... taking up the main forum space?

Here, here!! I keep wondering why all these for sale ads go on the main forum when there is a perfectly adequate 'For Sale' section!

Thank you waddo



the posting to the for sale section is an automatic function by the forum software. It picks up on the keywords "for sale"



If these are not included in the post the post doesn't get picked up.



When I see such posts I normally edit them so they are moved. If I suspect that this is being done deliberately I can delete the post instead

Perhaps it is because more people read the main forum than the for sale section.

The wanted things come on here because they dont say for sale..I posted that I too wanted it to be looked at under wanted thinking like all the others it would pop up HERE but no it went on the wanted page with the others that got through..or should I say on the for sale page ! Perhaps soon all the postings will be on the other page and the AHHHH Oh dear what the hell....Why on earth did the post ,'Is it time you Brits went home' not go on the wanted page ) AHHH

Many thanks and I learnt a bit more about how the clever software works as well.



Maybe a Wanted - Boat home for Brits would have done the trick - lol.
