We will always have a classifieds here on the site. However, the current format uses a special classifieds script. The old format simply used the forum and people would post threads.

Which is/was better?

The classifieds script is somewhat lacking and the flow is akward to use it, if you've ever used it you will know what I mean.
However the script has an advantage because now people can upload pics to their ad directly and also feature them in the footer of the site and also newest ads appear as well as random ads. That will have to go should we ditch the script and return to the forum format. Another drawback is the classifieds has its own feedback system that the developer who helped me with it was supposed to make an import script to merge the two and I never got it. So when we get rid of it, I will back up those feedback ratings and do the import by hand. No worries there.

So please participate in the poll. There are four options because I really want to see what the different groups of members think about it. (There are those that have used it either as a buyer, seller, or bidder, and those that have not ever used it but have just "seen it around".)

I have used the classifieds script as a buyer or seller, and I want to keep it the way it is.
I have not used the classifieds script as a buyer or seller and I want to keep it the way it is.
I have not used the classifieds as a buyer or seller and I want to see the classifieds threads return to the forum.

The results of the poll will help me decide but not necessarily will guarantee I will do what the results say. We will be doing a rather large board upgrade soon to bring many new features anyway, and the redesign of the classifieds may or may not be a part of that upgrade that day you notice it.

Anyway, on to the poll, please click and cast your vote in the poll above. If you post in the thread, make sure you also click to vote in the poll so we can watch the tally be accurate there.

Thanks for your feedback!
