What would you like to see here?

You're from Abbotsford, right there in your post.

Yea and the only way to see that is to click on my name or my post. And that to me seems silly. There is no separation between local and distant posts.

Not really an option for that unless the poster suffixes their title with location. We can't enforce that, so it's up to the poster. Some do, some don't.

Also, if I'm willing to ship an item, I wouldn't put location as it's not important to me, and I want the whole country to see it.

But really, clicking a link and then clicking the back button doesn't constitute a hassle in my mind.

Overall, I think it's best left to the poster of the item to decide how they want to advertise. The buyers can then decide (after clicking) whether they want to engage in shipping. I do agree that if you don't want to ship, add location to title, and more people are doing that these days. But from a manual intervention/enforcement view, I'm not checking each post for this.

You can't just make a bc for sale, an alberta for sale etc? Doesn't seem like it would be to hard. People would still have the option,and it would save time going through the posts.

That's something I suppose we could look at, although for me, and a lot of people, I hit new posts and it isn't sorted like that. I guess it would work for people that use the board more for buying/selling, but that's never been a priority concern for us. I'll give that some thought though.

I always use the New Posts button on top where it lists all the newest threads. Couldn't Location be added right beside the Member name, underneath the Thread name?

It's not a big deal with me, but if it is a simple change, might be helpful to some.

Another capability that might be helpful is the ability to change the original thread title (not posts) for a number of reasons.

1. On a FS thread, could add Sold to the end of the thread name, and people wouldn't have to open it, just to find out that the item(s) are sold.

2. Some FS threads might change over time. Eg., the thread name might originally incl several items, some of which might be sold or not available later. Would then not be necessary to start a new thread, or have multiple FS threads to start, which just clutter up the forum.

3. Some topics change with time, and a name change could better reflect the current postings, again, without having to start a new thread. It is still nice to retain the original posts, to see where the thread has gone.

Again, another thing that I don't think is possible with the software. Editing is an all or nothing option, and All never worked out well. Perhaps Titus can look at available options for granularity in this area.

Totally agree with this Walter, I have asked for this as well and seems to make a lot of sense to streamline the forum more. I like the idea and also would like to see a persons location when a thread is written without having to open it to find out.
I must say that Canreef is very well run/moderated and enjoy it a lot, keep up the good work.
