    It would be nice if the following could be used in the BST section. It would help weed out what's what and lesson confusion as to whether someone is selling something or looking for something.

    WTS (want to sell)
    WTB (want to buy)
    WTH (want to hire)
    etc..
    Thanks.

    Last time I looked ( Yesterday ) Prefix's were already in use in the B/S/T section when you go to create a new thread.

    Yes i loved the idea of prefix as it is easy to find for what you are looking for. Either buying or selling, you should use the prefix system now. It's not easy to apply it for previous threads but let's do it for upcoming threads :)
    Thanks

    But they are not required. That's what I am suggesting. :D

    They were required at first, but ended up removing the requirement. If a seller doesn't want to use them... it's fine with me. Less sales for him. Was causing some problems though in rare cases that none on the prefixes fit their thread.

    Hey you should change the wording of your post. just change 'Used' to 'Required' then it makes it looks like your suggesting it to be required.

    It would be nice if the following could be required in the BST section.

    No, only if you are within the thread edit time frame (8 hours from creation).
