New Thread Prefix For Buying, Selling, Trading and Wanted To Buy on R2R!

[revhtree]

We have now added the requirement for all members to choose a "location thread prefix" when buy, selling or trading items on R2R.

Why? There are a couple reasons and are really pretty simple.

1. You can now see where an item is located and that opens up the ability to work with the seller or buyer to meet up in order to avoid shipping. It also allows you to see how far something is away from you and lets you decide if you are willing to chance having it shipped to you or take the chance shipping to someone father away from you.

2. As new items are added you will be able to search items by prefix or by location.

This change will only apply to all new marketplace items from this point forward. All old items will remain the same.

How do you add a prefix? It's simple!

1. When creating your thread you will see the "prefix" option here.

2. Click the drop down box and choose your location.

This is what it will look like in the forum listing once the prefix is added.

The system will not allow you to create a new thread without choosing a prefix.

Thank you!

That does make things simpler.

Is there away to add filling in the town after a state is selected?

Not at this point. But that's coming to a R2R near you sooner than later!

Fan -wait for it- tastic! But how will people get their post counts up asking "Where are you located?"

Will this be added to existing threads or only new ones?

Only new ones unless the thread creator wants to go in and update the thread.

Awesome idea as some of the users on here don't have their city or state under their avatar This will alleviate the "where are you located" posts
