Excessive Classifieds Bumping

[ironpony]

Does not anyone scroll through the entire listings of the classified ads? Or is it a habit to just fixate on the first page of listings and then leave?

If one is keeping an eye out for deals daily, scrolling through the 10 pages takes too much range time.
There is a "new listings" button though.


Honestly, I open MDS on the classifieds page and hunting ammo always seems to be the top listing so I skip and get on to the forums.

Also, I use the "new posts" button often so I guess I could just use the "New Ads" button.

The bumping issue happens on another forum I am a member of too. It does get old pretty quick.

I am amazed there are 32 pages of classified ads. Some of these must have sold.....?

I can turn off the bumping of ads...

I would like this post if there were a "Like" button
Just teasing. Don't ban me

PS-- SG, thank you for starting a suggestion/comment thread in this subforum!

It's like this subforum has turned into a WC for those who don't have WC access.

Sometimes I will scroll through all of them, but usually I will take a quick look until I see something I've already seen before. The daily bumping screws with that a bit.

Same.

I scroll down looking through new ads every day until I see one I recognize, then I know I've seen the rest...theoretically. This means the people bumping ads are shortcutting those who just put new ads up. I'd love to see a 10 day rule.

Bullfrog summed it up well.

I think bump every 7 days is good.
I only look at the first page or two and often forget about an ad I was interested in, so I'd like to be reminded of an item that hasn't sold.

You can also add ads to your watch list.

You can view the classifieds by date of ad creation. Click "Filters" scroll down to "Sort By:" Change the first parameter from "last update" to "Create Date". it circumvents the whole bumping thing, makes it a lot easier to keep tabs without reading all 31 pages on a regular basis

The new software has made the classifieds a sewer. I used to browse at least a few times a week.

it's the same basic system, dif software LOL
