ogaugeguy posted:Rich, I have a possible solution satisfying the concerns regarding two of the reasons people visit this board (to peruse the Buy/Sell posts and share a knowledge of model railroading.) It's obvious allowing replies to Buy/Sell posts detrimentally affects the recent posts sidebar by valuable threads on railroading "tips, solutions, etc" being bumped and pushed off that sidebar faster than they'd otherwise be if "no Buy/Sell reply" bumping was permitted.
So, perhaps removing Buy/Sell threads from the recent threads sidebar would be a compromise solution meeting the concerns of both groups - satisfying all folks. Those who come to this board for information about railroading would see those articles stay on the sidebar longer while those interested in Buy/Sell threads could go directly to that form (as many have professed they already do anyway) and find all the replies they need to make decisions on their buying and selling.
Thus, no needless clutter to the recent posts sidebar from the bumping caused by reinstating Buy/Sell forum replies.
Hoop.La, not OGR has the final say on whether such things can be done or not.
