THE WTB is cluttering

[Glock Lover]

Don't know about everyone else but the WTB showing up in the WTS section seems to clutter things up and make it harder to find stuff. Just a little thing but i didn't mind it the old way.

I am with Glock Lover on this one. I liked the WTB section separate.

I have to agree. It makes it harder to read. Sure, if you are looking for something specific you can use the Search, but if you are just browsing, it makes it a PITA.

I am with you guys, I liked the old way better...

Thanks for the feedback guys, and keep it coming.

It's feedback like this that was the reason for the recent change-- folks were complaining that their WTB ads weren't receiving any exposure because most people don't peruse the WTB section. The new way certainly puts the WTB ads in front of more people, but we don't want to make any changes that have a net negative effect.

I'd like others reading this to chime in with your thoughts as well.

I was not apposed to it at first, but after a day or two of it I have to agree.

I have noticed the new colored font on the WTS/WTT's, is it possible to leave them in the same thread, but set it up so the WTBs are one color, and the WTS/WTT are another?

Maybe this would help those of use that just like to surf the WTS, but would leave the WTBs to help out those that feel they aren't getting exposure?

Fenway is still tweaking the titles, but I thought he had already set the WTB title to be a different color.

That is the way it is currently-- WTS/WTT is in green, while WTB is grey.

Yes, the WTB is grayish/black

WTS = green

I agree with glocklover and the others... the old way was easier to navigate; however, it does give the WTB threaders more exposure IMO. I admit, I never really pay much attention to the WTB postings. I like buying them more.

I was hoping that the green WTS letters were just for something different around Christmas because I have trouble focusing on the green letters. The red letters stand out better for me.

I'd venture to bet that guns get posted for sale that were being asked for in the WTB section due to the seller not looking in the WTB section. I think this new change is for the better, assuming that the site is trying to help its members move the guns they want to.

I think it is also good because people that aren't necessarily trying to sell a certain gun will see a WTB gun, then the person may get to thinking "well I haven't shot this gun in a long time, might as well get rid of it". I think it helps everyone in the end.

Differentating between colors isn't all that hard for me to do

The old way is better. The clutter is getting a bit much IMO.
The reason the WTB ads didn't get exposure is because there are less people looking to sell based on someone's specific want. Those interested will likley look before they post their WTS ad.

Please end the "leveling of the playing field" for the WTB crowd

Also I thought the green was just someone being "festive".....

 

[redneck919]

wayy too cluttered.if anything you should have removed the WTB ads all together. usually whatever people are looking for rolls around in the classifieds at one time or another.

 

[Roadie]

How about splitting both WTB and WTS into Handgun and Long gun?

WTB Handgun
WTB Long gun

WTS/WTT Handgun
WTS/WTT Long gun

I think THAT would make things easier to browse..

 

[target64]

JMHO----I liked it the old way. Also I too have difficulties seeing the grey lettering.

This can go both ways, I would stand to argue that most that posted a WTB didn't search more than two pages themselves. I have seen WTB ads that had a matching gun in the WTS ads.

I agree with this comment,I see it all the time on here people with WTB ads and there are 2 or 3 of them listed in the WTS ads.IE i see WTB glock19 or glock 26 and there seems to always be those guns for sale and usually by looking within the updated within the last 24 hours. I like it the old way but its Fenways forum so whatever makes the boss happy makes me happy just like at home....
