Is it possible for sellers to put a location in the thread title please?
The number of times people have looked at your thread only to find you are miles away.

This would also save the "I would love your ******* but you are to far away" and the classic "Where are you?" posts.

It can't be to difficult to do, can it?

I know we are breaking the 'law' by chatting here but I wish the mods could mention the 'law' to users in future.

And it's not only this section that's guilty of breaking the 'law', it's ALL of classifieds.

it's not too difficult, but the majority of reptile owners (using the members on here as a guide) are complete morons

I wonder if the 'law' of the forum can be policed a bit better.

I know that when I kept breaking the 'law' I got banned.
How can others just get away with it?



Note to mods......................I think this thread might best be moved to classified chat, sorry for posting in the wrong section.



But then again, who reads classified chat???????????????

nope, because people will:
a - deliver
b - use a courier service
c - drive as far as needed to collect
d - drive to another local area to collect
e - meet half way

So if it's done by area people have to look through everything section to find something. Plus, i live in Lancashire but some parts of Merseyside are closer than some parts of Lancashire so i could pick stuff up from another area faster than it'd take to pick it up from certain parts of my area.

All it takes is..................

EG

Snake for sale. Leicester.

How bloody hard is that?

But that is only an example.

I would like to see as much information in the title as possible.

After all is is an advert and you are trying to advertise your items to attract attention.

This would be my idea advert title..................

Adult male boa constrictor for sale £100. (Leicester.)

That way I would know if the first three priorities that fit my search.
