Sales' threads

[hillie]

If there was a wish list for the site it would be great if a C or P would appear in the titles of the sales' threads to show whether the item must be collected or whether it can be posted. All too often I look at an item only for it to be miles away!

I could see how this would be annoying for anyone outside the NWest, so sounds a good idea.

Could definitely be done, hopefully Big Larry will pick up on it.

Big Larry is too busy !

Done for livestock and equipment, but one proviso.

If you have a long title then there may be an issue, however, only apparent if you use the option;

collection preferred, but if needed can be posted

So it is probably better if people either choose one of the other 3 options, if they come across the error message.

[hillie]

Good point. If it can be posted tho, then a P would be the option to choose with collectors being given the priority? Or would that make things even more complicated?

Maybe we should just move up North.

[Admin]

More complicated, it is now outputting what the delivery / postage option chosen by the thread starter is.

Putting a choice of P or C would definitely confuse some people.

This is true. Can the first three digits of the post code not automatically be inserted in the title instead? Then it's obvious where the sale is to take place?

Just a thought .....

pure selfishness on my part, of course, I get all excited only to be disappointed that I live too far away

Confused dot com.

The whole of the post code is already autoinserted into the thread title anyway.

To use the first 3 digits would make it even more confusing, as the forms that are used, automatically pull in the data from what is inputted.

To only make it the first 3 digits, would mean that we have to force people into putting the first part of their postcode in one field, (which would then be outputted into the title) and then fill a second field in with the last part of the postcode.

To be absolutely honest, I feel there is more than enough information in the thread title, at the moment anyway.
