I think maybe ''The Managers'' should move with the times and allow a re-vamp of the wanted section.....
I have seen my add in the wanted section end up 7 or 8 pages down only a few hours after bumping it....So in reality That section has a lot of traffic....
Anyway at the end of the day ''Stuff ''is still finding it's way to new owners..
I love The Wanted section....Come on The Managers...
Best Wishes

Hi The Mammy,
I'll put your points to the Managers but I can't see them changing their view of the Wanted forum. Even if it were reconfigured with extra columns indicating region and "Still Looking" etc (as suggested by Jenc above), it still isn't what JumbleTown is really about (see my post above).
We limit the Wanted forum to 50 pages because when we let it run to 100+ pages, ads were posted but
some folks did not respond to offers from Givers, i.e., Givers were wasting their time by offering in the first place and then by waiting for a response that never came, despite the fact that the Requesters receive automatic email notification of the offer. This has nothing to do with the format of the Wanted forum but more to do with the devil-may-care attitude of
some potential Takers. However, it must be said that those who regularly bump their ads are clearly very keen to receive items, and Givers should still consider offering their items to Requesters in the Wanted forum.
Thanks for the feedback.
Regards
Chris P
