Problem with new classifieds for our Canadian brothers

If you go into the classified and click let's say the suspension. Go all the way down to the bottom and look at display options. Under prefix, you can select the local FS canada. Then it will show all the FS suspension in for Canada.

Okay, that is fine and dandy right?

But you have to do it in each section. They need this option in the general Private Classifeds so you can search all FS/WTB/WTT for Canada.

The prefix option on the display option when viewing the entire Private Classifieds should be available so they can see all that is FS, WTB or WTT w/o having to go to each section.

Possible?

Makes some sense if there can't be a Canadian like days of old.

Could definitely be of use to more than just the Canucks....

Issue I'm seeing is with the way the page is designed and how variables are passed. If you look at something at a high level, like https://g35driver.com/forums/private-classifieds-52/ and then go into a subforum, it doesn't pass the prefix along with it. In this case, we want it to, but in others I can see where that would be a major PITA.

The canucks are also pretty well represented among the admins, so I imagine if there's a way, they will figure it out.

I will say I know Ian experimented with creating links that would take you directly to a page with filters set, but I'm not sure if there's a way to do it without creating individual links to each and every subforum, which isn't really feasible.

Canadians should have there own section - I really liked how it was before, and now it seems so hard to find all listings from Canadian sellers. I know there is a search function, but it does not seem to work (for me) for all sub sections.

If you do a search this way, it will bring up all Canadian classifieds from all sub sections.

1. Click on the search button at the top of the page
2. Click on advanced search
3. Search using the FS Canada: prefix

^This was the original intention & has been in the works for several weeks now.
We're just waiting for IB to come up with the algorithm.
