has it been discussed to divide the FS threads for easier viewing? i never brought this up, but have been thinking about it for quite some time.
in parts for sale thread, i think it would be nice to have the FS Items section divided by type of part like in the Advertisers Specials section (ie. interior, exterior, engine, etc). is it possible to have it so that sellers simply categorize their part by type at time of posting so buyers can choose to view items FS by part type, but unlike Advertisers Special section still retain the ability to view everything as a whole like how the FS section is now? I'm talking sort of like an Ebay/Amazon structure where you start by choosing a main category then weed it out further by choosing more specific categories (but only a simple 2 tier system. for example from View All -> exterior; not View All -> exterior -> bumper -> s14 -> brand, ..., etc.) ? i think this would appease everyone so they can view things like they are now (if they wish), but have the ability to go into more specific categories.
in cars for sale thread, i think it would help potential buyers to easily view cars for sale by state. some people are willing to drive, but not across states. I know 50 sections is excessive (and most cars posted are only from about 10 states), but how about separate it exactly like the Regionals section (USA/Canada/Japan/Australia/Europe) then from there to Mid-Atlantic States/Mountain States/North Western States/etc, and finally by state? But again, like discussed above, start out with a View All section then be able to sort into more specific sections.
Zilvia marketplace has gotten really HUGE over the years. if you don't browse FS for even a single day, you can be behind 5+ pages (sometimes 10+ pages) of FS items posted/updated. i think this would help both buyers and sellers move items quicker.
