2) Any chance of a "Still want" and "item recieved" column?

Anyway, just thought it might be handy for people who route through the wanted section with object of giving, make life a little easier.

Hi Jenc,

The changes you suggest make sense but I can't see them being made any time soon. Apart from the fact that the coding is different and may be tricky to alter, JumbleTown's Managers are not particularly keen to emphasise the Wanted forum. This is because JumbleTown is primarily about "I have this item -- do you want it?" and not "I want this item -- do you have it?" In fact, the Wanted forum was something of an afterthought and we limit it to 50 pages (it was up to 120 pages at one stage!).

Members should use the "Search" facility (top right of listings) and follow the instructions/suggestions outlined in the "stickies" at the top of the forum...or...the "Advanced Search" just beneath the log-in box. Enter key-words at the top left and then select the Wanted forum from the list on the right.

Re: "Still want" and "Item received" column: Givers should assume that the item is still wanted if the ad is still on the Board. Once an item has been received, Members should simply click the Edit Post button at the bottom right of their ad and then choose the Delete option.

Thanks for the feedback.
