Page by page, this thread gets better and better. And yet when we voice valid concerns, as it was so threatened by Nineball himself previously in this thread, they arent even addressed. Jesus, talk about a catch 22.

The new marketplace is not a financial decision. It's one that has been well received on every site but LS1.
I am sort of new around here, and to this thread. But I have had success in modifying the product to suit the demands of other communities.
We (IB) are not able to remove the product, but I will do all I can to help perfect it for your use.
cheers,

This is what happens when people that play on Mary Poppins and cat fancy forums tries to modify a car sight. No offense....but you guys havnt a clue how a car forum works. It was perfect before, and now it sucks..... You dont need to be a marketing major to figure out that you guys screwed up. Own up to it and fix it....You can remove it, its easy. I have my own Vbulletin and can add and remove stuff if I want. If you guys would have acted right away you could have backed it up from a prior database backup file, maybe lose a small amount of posts.... but no. You waited till it was an uncontrollable nightmare. As you said... You will "perfect it"..... to me that would be reverting it back to the way it was.....perfect.

You said it, every site but LS1Tech.
Success with " other communities " means nothing to members here on LS1Tech because we are not concerned with the " demands of other communities ".
We look forward to our legacy classifieds being reinstated.

As I've already stated, this is not possible.
So far, I've offered you guys my help to fix it, and all you can do is keep saying to bring the old one back.
If you guys have some constructive criticism, or suggestions to improve the new one, I'm here to help, but I'm not in a position to remove what is there now.

For example, when I click on LS Engine parts at the top of the screen.....nothing happens! It brings up the same parts for any engine. Same goes for when I click on Non-LS engine parts, it brings up everything.
There are more than a few people that listed problems with the marketplace system on the last two pages, I suggest you go back and read them.

As I said, I am very new around here, no idea as to existing Classified rules, or who moderates those sections and oversees things. I am sincere in my desire to help make this useable for you guys. I appreciate any and all advice, direction and patience you can extend.
I have scanned the thread, and it seemed like most complaints were of poor search results, which in my testing, seems to mainly be due to mis-categorized or not even categorized listings..

I am not a tech, I do not know the why, I just know what I am told, which is that it's not possible.
I work for IB, however I do not work at IB. I am 6000km away, and only go on the information I receive. I am a community guy, love cars, and enjoy helping people (usually). I noticed an open problem here, and decided to attempt to help on my own accord.

Well I appreciate your attempt to help, but the best possible solution here would be to go back to the old section. So perhaps you can find someone who can give a straight answer as to why that's not possible.

I searched for a headlight assembly for my 99 transam... found one 30 miles away Awsome!!, I got already to go get it and then was on the phone with the guy and he was like "you do know its an LT1 style right?" WTF??? Whether the ad was clear or not... Its too much of everything jammed into one section. You kind of need to be fluent with these cars and stuff to know.... sounds like no one at IB knows. To them a car part is a car part. Is this "LS1" tech or just car parts annonymous?
First of all if you want to help you need to be able to do something. If you cant do anything your wasint cyberspace posting.

While we can't create actual 'physical' sub-forums, we can create search links, and add them as if they are sub-forum links. This is no problem.
It sounds like we need to fix the criteria required to submit a thread first.
Let me take some screenshots of the control panel section, and we can work through it here and I'll do updates as we go to see the effect they have.
The only thing I hope not to change, are the existing categories. Are they sufficient as they are?

Having done that, and looking at how things are set up, I can see one problem immediately.
It's the Engine Type section causing all the search relevancy issues. If that is changed up, to be a single selection type, as we get new listings the results will improve.
So, that said, what are all the possible Engine Type possibilities?
Well list them all as individual choices which will allow the same functionality, but keep things searchable.

Just an FYI, multiple threads were shunned previously, hence the reason for my question on creating multiple threads. The previous rule was simply this: sell everything in a single thread, if you make multiple threads (even for different parts) they would be deleted. In a nutshell, one for sale thread per person. You cant fill in the search criteria when you have 10 parts for sale. You see what Im saying.
