Good question. Perhaps it has something to do with the membership fee.

It still amazes me that some people are too pikey to pay £5...

Perhaps because the vehicle classifieds section is looked at less than the listed forum view with comments.

But probably because they make more on other sites than what current members are prepared to pay.

    the classified section is bound to be scrapped soon so we can just go back to the normal threads in cars for sale section. anyone visiting the forum won't even see the classified section atall because it's not advertsied within the forum

    ^ You reckon Rikky?

    There were tens of negative comments about it when it was released and it never changed.

    Not a fan of the Classifieds section or the old Car-Hunter

    However, I'm not a member so my opinion counts for nothing

    The problem with the old one is people just couldn't help themselves and spammed the hell out of peoples threads with their opinions even though the rules state this shouldn't happen. I am as guilty as anyone of this so I think the classifieds section is far better for the seller and buyer.

    I also don't see a problem with people joining to sell their cars. If I wanted to buy a 6, I wouldn't care if they had 1 post or 10,000 posts, it would still be good to have this site as first point of call to look for one.

    It's a mistake imo not having the old cars for sale part still active in the new forum.

    all that is needed is in parts/cars for sale, the ability to post your thread with correct info and lock it yourself. a bit more control over your own threads wouldn't go amiss

    on seat cupra.net when you advertise a car no one can reply to the ad unless through pm there for no spammingThumbs up only problem with them was when i was looking i needed 15 posts before i could pmCrazy so i had to do 15 pointless post before i could ask anyone details on their cars!! i do believe the old cars for sale should be back where it was as i for one used to like looking through it and now i just can't be bothered.

    This would be a very good idea if the old style was restored.

    It was quite useful for certain comments. Someone could ask about say the Cambelt and when it was last changed. Then when the seller says '25k ago, in 2003' you can click X and carry on. Saves numerous PMs with similar questions, and prompts random delves of info that you otherwise may have missed.

    'what size are those wheels?'

    'oh they arent included, but are for 200 extra. That reminds me, black masks were removed 2 years ago. Il get new recent pics later when ive had chance to go to the bank'

    But there was always loads of useless posts like "GLWS" and "ooh that's too expensive" etc.....and quite often the thread would be hijacked and ruined.

    No different than any other thread on this forum then.

    I think Rikky raises a good point about having it laid out like before, with the ability to be able to lock and unlock to make amendments.

    Im an admin on SXOC (lots of users) and we have open F/S threads, we just moderate them. No disrespect to the site admins here but a couple of moderators and a "report post" facility would do a world of good, if anyone is posting crap just delete it. :thumbs:

    I'd say even the General section is getting like Tumble weed now too, As I've said before and I know I'm more unique than other's, I cannot see the point of paying to give advice as I rarely sold anything of huge value either, Yes If I was breaking car's etc then I would be fine paying.
