Suggestion to make it easier to buy and sell here

    While it's not difficult, it is often time consuming to buy things here. It might be helpful to have a "want to buy" or "looking to hire" section. Just a thought. sdgroot45

    Well, IMHO, we have enough sections to cover almost all the fields.
    If you 'want to buy' or 'want to hire', you can post a new thread with your requirements and use the appropriate Thread Prefix.
    But, yes, we don't have the prefix for "Want To Hire".

    If you want to hire say a programmer in a way you are wanting to buy the services of a programmer so WTB will work for you.

    A WTB and WTS filter would be handy and the selection of those tags should be enforced.

    That's a good idea , but i think that the tag system needs a bit of a upgrade to support that feature at a good level .

    Not a bad idea at all.

    While they are at it, use the word-block and make it so the word "potential" automatically switches to "not established".:D

    Then go to the section you're looking to sell or buy in. Scroll to the very bottom. Under "Thread Display Options" you will see "Prefix". Click on that and you will see (any thread), (no prefix), [WTS], [WTB], [WTT]. Choose whatever one fits your criteria and hit the Show Threads button. Voila! It's fricken filtered.

    That's freakin awesome, thanks. The only remaining bit is the prefix/tag selection, it should be enforced as you are here either to buy, sell or trade, nothing else.
