    With the large number of stackers now here, is it worthwhile to split the for sale threads? like a selling section and a WTB or looking for thread?

    I was thinking along similar lines - first thought was splitting according to Gold/Silver/Miscellaneous.

    Having an alert for new posts on threads is good... I think it'd be very useful to have a 'mark as read' option next to threads on a list, or even better, a 'mark all as read' at the top of the list. While I'm at it, another idea is a 'not interested' button next each thread on a list to suppress future new post highlighting.

    I think thats a Sterling idea.
    It would solve some of the eye congestion.

    Would it be worth breaking it down futher into FS Bullion, FS Coins and a WTB section

    Don't tempt me!

    I buy but never sell so it might be useful to divide them up however I only ever click on the "Show New Posts Since Last Visit" button so they are all going to be jumbled up together anyway.

    Agree that some sort of further division would be good, as well as the marking of finalized ones.

    I also would prefer people not to be able to change their posts once sold, the old "nothing to see here" is wrong as far as I am concerned. A sale is a sale after all.

    Subject rules could make it a lot easier if they don't want to do the groups as well..

    eg: WTS - GOLD - 1oz Perth Mint

    Although if you're selling multiple items it's a bit of a pain..

    The point within a circle...
    I wonder if it could be done similar to doing a poll, like having a multiple choice listing/auction function.

    eg. Step 1: WTS/WTB thread
    Step 2: Bars/Coins/Numis/Other
    Step 3. Gold/Silver/Plat
    Step 4. Listing


    I'm not sure what people would think about a standardised selling format, and more to the point whether the boss has got the time/effort to do that!

    The auction code is pretty well done though, thanks to fishballs code from ages past... wonder if that could be implemented as a standardised auction model.

    *All comments are made under the proviso that I have no idea of techy stuff...

    Good ideas and I also like the option of buying local vs interstate (or more to the point F2F rather than adding postage).

    Alternatively you could have one forum, but a filter function - but that would require the data to be entered by the seller first (eg
    field 1 - buy/sell
    field 2 - silver/gold
    field 3 - Coin/Bullion
    field 4 - state-location etc

    Agree with the idea of separating the gold from the silver. Too much silver, needs to be by itself.
