[titanNV]

New feature - instead of showing the poster's avatar, it shows the thumbnail preview of the first image posted in the Trading Post ad.
For example:

Nice! Will make browsing/scrolling so much faster.

- WTS/WTT Prefix has been removed entirely. Use the WTS for anything being offered. If looking for a trade, be sure to put that in the Ad, just not the prefix.

- Also, Just added a feature of being able to more easily sort between prefix:


Still working on the best way to identify LOCATION in the Title of the Ad, sort of like the Prefix. To be continued...

The problem is you have to click the ad to see the Location. If it's in the Title somehow, they won't need to click it.

Thanks for working on this.

If possible, could we be more specific with their location? Instead of just "Vegas", it would be helpful to include a zip code, or at least a general area like "NW Vegas" or "SW Vegas."

Sometimes a low-value item isn't worth the drive if the seller is on the other side of town.

I'm sure this is oversimplified but couldn't you do "wts south" and "wts north"???? At least it gets you in the major region.

So maybe that Northern Nevada subsection in the Trading Post Area might actually be necessary ???

Don't hate me

Too many options just confuse people.

How can they be confused by stuff they don't READ?? Oh, wait, that would only apply to the forum and trading post rules, my bad!

Ya'all can thank me for these upgrades to the trading post, I targeted titanNV with an aerosol mist of Replicator Nanites, programed to make him understand the forum software a bit better so he can do stuff like these upgrades,,,,,,,in between Mai Tai's on the beach of course, can't take away all the hoomon's fun!

Here is the latest and this is how it will be for the forseeable future:



We are NOT making separate forums for each area of the state in the near or forseeable future.

This is what I see on mobile…

Open up the FS subforum not the whats new area.

That was a glitch he was seeing while the new feature populated. All is fine now.

I'm sure someone would as at some point.

 

[Coup d'etat]

I'll take it. PM to follow.

 

[NYECOGunsmith]

I'm about to fix that!

If you ain't in Lost Wages, location is perhaps the very first thing most folks look for ,as so many ads say to meet some place local.
