Marketplace is ruining this site
#21
I seem to recall something like this being introduced years ago. Everyone hated it so they switched back.
I just started seeking parts for a new build and posting parts for sale after a while away, but the section is pretty much dead since the change.

When you look at new posts it's littered with marketplace ads. And people are posting 1 item per marketplace listing so it's spamming the section. Can the marketplace posts be hidden from the new post section and is someone making sure members are not abusing it with 1 item per post?

THIS!!!
I used to spend a lot of time on this site, back when I owned my Camaro. Since I sold it, I only stop in here once in a while. I still have my Corvette, however, and still spend a lot of time on the Corvette Forum, which is also an IB owned website.
It appears that IB did a complete revamp of their operating format, and the explanation given on the CF site was something along the line that "it made it easier for a certain segment of the users". Problem was, it also made it a LOT MORE DIFFICULT for many of the long time users, and MANY people over there asked the same question, "if it isn't broken, why are you fixing it"?? They decided to fix it anyway, and as a participant at the CF site for over 18 years, there are still things that I could easily accomplish in the past, that my somewhat less than exemplary computer skills no longer allow me to do. Yes, I know that things change, but change, just for the sake of change, isn't always a good policy.....

I would like to part out
I want to part the remains of my wreck, but I'm a new user (old creeper here) and I dont want to spam, I'd like to pull and ship as requested parts come in. Any tips?

Holy God the new marketplace blows. Why spend all this time trying to make this trash work when the old one was already better? Nothing about this is better. Maybe I'm overlooking it but I don't even see the search function. As much as I dislike Facebook, changes like this are why I (and I suspect others) are leaving this forum for it.

I would also like to point out that when you used the search feature in the classifieds and clicked on a given thread it would highlight the word you searched for so you didnt have to look through the entire post......marketplace does not do this feature and it was nice.

You guys are doing this feedback thing wrong. Here, let me help you speak #millenial #idiot You need more nonsense and emojis
Hey @IB Nolan , @IB Adrian , you've already received the feedback you need. Now put it to good use The format is
#junk #garbage
On a serious note, bullshit changes like this are one of the many reasons why forum traffic is in decline. The old format worked well. These needless changes only irritate the few users you have left and force them to move on.

I'd be curious to see how the change has affected traffic and listing activity. I used to check it at least daily, but since the change I don't even waste my time. As much as I hate facebook for this stuff it's better than the new format here and even craigslist is easier to use.

Once on these pages, it is almost identical in terms of search and filters as the old marketplace:

Do these people just sit around the office all day and think of ways to make the site harder to read and more of a pain in the ***? Like they need to do something, anything to justify their job being there or what?? Hmmm.... lets see how many members we can **** off and lose today. The endless attempts to make something that was already good better is whats actually killing you. Stop. Its a pain in the *** and sucks browsing the ads now.
