Suggestion for Classifieds template?
Hi GS team, I am not sure whether this has been asked or proposed before:
Is there any chance we can implement a template form, for the classifieds section?
Something like this:
#for sale template
Item:
Age:
Price:
Warranty:
Packaging:
Condition:
Location:
Reason:
Shipping:
Collection:
Link:
Using a template form like this will eliminate the need to ask for location. It is much easier to browse the classifieds when more information is provided in a template structure.
I know it is more work to moderate and will gladly assist in that if needed.
I am not sure if the forum can be set that when a new thread is being created in the classifieds section, if it could automatically populate the writing area with the template.
Anyhoot, just a suggestion

Re: Suggestion for Classifieds template?
I used a template from elsewhere as a suggestion.
I for one usually want to know why someone wants to sell something. i.e. need the cash, looking to upgrade, maybe not happy with the item, whatever one can think of :-)
One then only fill in the appropriate things.
However, I always give a reason why I am selling something. Helps the buyer to understand the situation before making contact

This will turn GS into a junk mail place.
It is is essentially for members wanting to sell something as hobbyists generally acquire then cull.
I never quite understood why a reason is needed to sell other than friendly conversation.live out your imagination , not your history.

I don't understand the need for a "reason"
Whether it's to fund a sex change operation, get bigger tits for your girlfriend, penis enlargement op, or because you have a scrotal hernia should be irrelevant in your purchasing decision

Re: Suggestion for Classifieds template?
Well then, just ignore the reason part
I thought of this as I was browsing the classifieds section and half the time I don't know where the person is situated and you have to look hard to try and piece all the details together.
Won't it be much easier to open an ad and immediately see the item, condition, location and price etc all neatly under one another followed by some pics? Or is it just me?
When I am browsing the classifieds section, one should not have to comment on every post and read through subsequent posts to at least determine the basic info needed for an ad. But hey, maybe that's just me :-)
