Locations at the end of Wanted threads
Hiya!
Me again, Why are locations being added at the end of the titles in the wanted threads?, this give the impression that people may only want items from those areas, witch is not always the case. |

Please see the following Support Forum post: http://www.jumbletown.ie/forums/showthread.php?t=108673 ALL Members are obviously looking for items in their local area; SOME may be willing to travel, so it makes sense to mention at least the Member's location. Regards Chris P Admin |

Thanks Chris, i read that, but some people are prepared to travel for items, depending on what its is, if they have more then one thing to collect, if they have someone in further away areas that could collect,etc.
Placing the area will put people off offering items, because they may be far.. |

As I see it, the main downside to adding the location is that there is more text to read (on an already text-heavy site). However, the Wanted listings were never designed to be read/trawled through page by page -- that's why we put in the SEARCH THE WANTED FORUM function. Anyway, we'll see what happens...
