* F.A.O ALL TRADERS (re: trade room revamp) *

[Gazjam]

Thank you Marco, new format looks good.

Will reply to PM later, just in and need me dinner!

Format looks tidier but there appear to be less views since it went live. I know this format has been tried elsewhere and a similar thing happened...less views, and possibly less from visitors and lurkers, so I think from that perspective it's probably less effective than it was originally for traders. Passing traffic I would imagine will be less inclined to wade through traders sub forums. Time will tell.

Well, it’s what was requested, so that’s what you’ve got (after lots of work by admin implementing it, I would hasten to add), so you’ll have to live with it now!

Activity, in that respect, should increase once all the old ads in the main section of the trade room have been moved into the respective sub-forums, meaning that if folk want to see what you guys are selling, the only way of doing that will be to click on the sub-forums and view the content, as well as of course seeing all ads that have recently been placed in the trade room, when clicking on ‘New Posts’.

On another note, Paul, could you follow hi-fi dave’s example and think of a description for your business? This will then be added underneath the title for your sub-forum/shop.

I would appreciate it if all traders did this - cheers

Marco.

Guys, I've just had to move a load of ads, from having been posted in the general trade area, to your dedicated sub-forums. Please remember that ALL ads, unless otherwise directed, should be posted in your own sub-forums/shops, and not externally to that.

Cheers!

Marco.
