wanted ads - categorising?
 

hi

i just wanted to ask a q as its something ive come across lately,
u have a "wanted" section for people that are looking for stuff in particular, but what i do find is that some people dont take time to look through every page on the wanted section to see what people are looking for.

people that post up items that they want to give away then normally gets taken by the first person that sees it rather than the person that is looking for it in the wanted section, so just an enquiry as to see if it was possibly that in the wanted section that maybe u could "categorise" all the items so that way people can go straight to lets say the "wanted adds" the the "baby" section and it would be a lot easier to go through the wanted section to see if someone is looking for an item they are givin away?

am thanks again
great site:)

Hi Mumsy123,

Categorising the Wanted forum has been suggested before but the Managers of the site have no plans to do so. As I've said on a few other threads, the Wanted forum was very much an afterthought on JumbleTown and was never intended to play a major role. The site is more about "I have this item -- do you want/need it?" rather than "I want/need this item -- do you have it?"

We limit the Wanted forum to 50 pages (around 1,200 ads) to keep it at a manageable size and to ensure that ads are relatively recent.

Members should use the "Search This Forum" button at the top right of the Wanted forum's listings. This pulls up a list of any item that is specified.

Thanks for the feedback.

Regards
