@ScoutingDad posted:The commentary on including For Sale headers on posts is now closed, however the issue of how recent posts appear is a much broader issue than just the For Sale or Wanted to Buy topics. While I agree the FS and WTB leads are helpful, not having some indication on whether the post is from Traditional Toy Trains, 2 Rail Scale, Tin Plate and all, is equally if not more problematic. It is way too easy to click into a topic, read the posts and reply without realizing the topic is in a different topic area than one might have assumed. Posting something about 3 rail in the 2 rail area often ruffles feathers. How about having some sort of indication where the Recent Posts come from?
And here in lies the major "problem" with the "RECENT POSTS" column on the right side!!!!! There is ABSOLUTELY no indication as to exactly which sub-forum that the "RESENT POST" is pertaining to. We have been asking for quite a number of years that the folks at CROWDSTACK attempt of modify the "RESENT POST" side-bar so as to indicate what sub-forum it relates to. Rich has been unsuccessful.
Or in the right hand Recent Posts column have the major topics such as 2R, 3R, Tin Plate, Manufacturers, etc have their own Topic box with an expandable drop down box? The link data already exists, it should not be that difficult to program topic areas.
