Casper Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Should classified forums be merged into one? Thoughts? Right now we have four; bikes, gear, parts, other. I think one would be sufficient and cleaner. Thoughts? Edit: I would use this product (https://invisionpower.com/files/file/7614-advanced-tags-prefixes/) to force the use of tags in the classifieds forum. Tags would be like FS, WTB, SOLD, etc. Color coded, clickable, etc. I'm open to the idea of a motorcycle related for sale and other stuff.

what Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I kinda like it being broken up, people can go directly to the item that interests them. If you do want to merge them into one, I would recommend flagging each thread as "BIKE: Selling Rat Chopper with apes $79,000.00" or "GEAR: Selling Gently Used Undergarments", etc. Add an option for the poster to flag each new post as either bike, gear, parts or other so people could use the search function to sort through posts easier. They could even be color coded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorcycle related and Non-Motorcycle related. ^^^ This Although to What's comment, thread prefixes would be nice but rather than by item type (can use tags for that), have prefixes for WTB, For sale, For Trade, Sold, Withdrawn, Free, etc like they have in the ADVRider marketplace. That works really nicely although the traffic on their sale forums is much greater than on here so not as big a deal on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe do 4 selling related tags (Bike, Gear, Parts, Misc) and 1 buying. Having a generic WTB tag would probably work since I don't think that kind of thread is submitted very often and would be easy enough to pick out of the rest of everything else. Just make the color clearly distinct from the other 4. Edited January 13, 2017 by what 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only about a third of what I post is from reddit. I think that makes me 66% better than 9gag and Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
