When I look at the FS/FT forums as a buyer I usually immediately uncheck the Wanted box.
However if I do a refresh of the page, the Wanted ads just come right back, even though the Wanted box remains unchecked.
 
I have to check the Wanted box again, and deselect it again.
 
Not a huge deal but it is an annoyance.

I just found the answer to my bumping question.  After staring at these pages for days, I finally noticed the sort by drop down.  Changed it to "Updated Date" and it worked as expected.  Just learning and getting use to the new system.
 
This new "sort by" item I just found, you can easily see the new things without have to look through others that are updated activily.  Another plus for the system... IMO.

Minor/moderate annoyance related to Gorthon's post. If I change the sort to something other than "creation date", can it remember that preference instead of me changing it every time? Also, after it reloads the page when I change the sort order, the selection box is remains highlighted, which means if I press the up/down arrows or PgUp/PgDn, it changes the sort order again and makes the page reload. This was pretty frustrating until I figured out what the heck was happening.

Am I missing something, or are there way fewer F/S threads being posted since the system change?  I see threads still on page 1 for at least a couple days, when it used to cycle much faster than that.  And there's fewer threads per page now too.  Seems like 1/3 of what it was before.
 
Otherwise, I like the idea.  The only complaint I have is that there is way more text to scan through now, where before it was just a title and I thought it was easier to scan through them.  But clearly this new system has advantages too.

I was thinking the same thing.  I have a feeling it has to do with the default sort order being set to creation date.  The newer postings don't move off the first page as quickly since updates/bumps don't go to the top in this view.

Note that the old forum was also cluttered with SOLD!
Lots of items get taken within one or two days and that carries the appearance of a slow forum when they are taken off the list so fast

How do we edit feedback that we left? Can we?

 

[svyr]

Not impressed with the new system at all. 
 
 
 
I have an outstanding feedback item to give to Jjihn on the srm-1/mk2. 
 
First of all, there is no fs thread - I just pmed him here to agree to buy it a few months ago, 
2nd the old feedback thread is locked
3rd the new feedback char limit is 256. 
 
Seriously... F.... 

 

[Towert7]

I haven't used the new system yet, but if it's true that there is a 256 character limit, that does not sound ideal.

your feedback will start sounding like ebay... Canned, short, useless...

 

[svyr]

You also HAVE to enter a price = no meaningful IC price, or multiple items per thread price. 
 
meh.

What exactly is the purpose of "IC" threads? Either you are selling something or you don't. Please explain. Thanks

Usually people do not want to sell an item for less than someone is willing to pay for it, so people 'test the waters' and see what people are willing to pay.  Just people trying to get as much money as possible.

sounds to me like an unfair bid. Imo put a fair price you are willing to let the item go and don't lower it if you don't want to.

So you can't leave feedback unless it is tied to a listed transaction, no more feedback for PM-type of deals?
