SailfinMolly Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Hi there, I was browsing the Classifieds and noticed what a pain it is to locate ads for my area. I have a suggestion that might make it easier to locate and would also help with organization. My suggestion is, under each branch of the classifieds (Livestock, Equipment, etc) To have ads organized by Area Code. Example: (Livestock Classifieds --> Ads in Area Code 780 --> Listings as normal) (Livestock Classifieds --> Ads in Area Code 403 --> Listings as normal) I think it would help greatly with those searching for specific species/equipment/etc in their immediate area.

jvision Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 That would be fine if there wasn't a new province-wide area code (587). Ideally, people would put where they're located in the Title or tag field. Buy/Sell rules state tht location must be stated in the ad itself, but often we let it go if the member has filled out their personal info under their Avatar.

ckmullin Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 ...and might be ANOTHER new area code in the near future. As the current setup of ab ph # is close to it's end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgd Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Make it Calgary/ Edmonton and done. Or north/south. Or just leave it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eugene Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yep I vouch for jcgd idea or just check the location of the postee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Yip. Everyone should have their location on their profile. Simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayen Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Additionally, I think that there should be a rule that you have to add location to the title. It'll help save many of us from the disappointment of "Woah that's exactly what I want!" and then click on the link and realize that the item is not in your area.
