Default *****Location in Advert Title*****

Do people not feel it would be helpful if sellers included the area they are in within there advert title.

For Example: Lavender Corn Snake For Sale (Wiltshire). Leopard Gecko For Sale (Portsmouth) Etc Etc...

I find very few sellers actually do this and by doing it it may even help them get a better response as people can see from title they are located locally or within reach.

Please consider the format of your post to make life easier for people searching the classifieds.
  • Include the item for sale in the title.
  • If collection only, add this with your town or county in the title.
  • List the price and any other costs involved with the sale.
  • Confirm delivery/collection options to the buyer.
  • Add a picture where ever possible, people WILL ask.
Taken from the classifieds rules bit at the top of every classifieds sub-forum. But no-one ever reads that bit first!

going off that.. what about a feature when somebody says something like collection only as i do not drive and somebody asks can you deliver to....., can the forum automatically download a virus that turns their computer into a raging maniac and beats them to death with the keyboard.

I actually think that it's quite good when people ask really stupid questions like that. Gives you an idea about who is (or is not) a total numpty .

Default A bit of work for the MODS!!!!

Any chance of having a feature where you have to fill out a form that this site generates with fields that HAVE TO BE COMPLETED then submitted to the site.

Ive probably confused the hell out of everyone now
