Be patient with the F.S.'s

We're trying to come up with an alternative to marketplace for local forums, but for now please be patient and respect the rules as they exist now..

We'll try to get something changed on this soon.

TNX

Colin.

How about having Hawaii to simply have its own "Marketplace"?

Hello Hawaii

808

We are intuned and sensative to your 'special needs' where you are located. What you have mentioned is being disussed including other things/remedies.

Please keep in mind that we (Admins) need to look at things that will affect the entire forum not just one area which your suggestion will have an effect on.

Like Colin said, hang in there we'll get it resolved for ya.

What I think may work for now is if anyone is putting up a FS thread, at the end of the subject line put in -LOCAL ONLY. We'll try to keep them up and running.

I'm subscribed to this thread so any questions or whatever, post up.

TIA
Neil

yeah a local fs forum will probably benefit us more then anyone. Reason being most mainland sellers don't want ship to hawaii due to cost and vice versa. Which is the reason why I don't bother looking at the private classifieds.

As I posted before and for now just put in caps LOCAL ONLY or something along those lines that will stand out. I've also posted this in the moderators forum so hopefully those posts will remain but if something does happen feel free to hit Colin, myself, any of the admins or super mods.

Putting in a market place sub forum maybe the easiest route to go but this may have other ramifications on Driver overall. Not to say that this maybe the final outcome.

sen_jen - I'm sure there is alot of 'local terminology' referring to us 'outsiders' ....... LOL

You probably can create a sub forum "Local Sales" in the Hawaii Forum and give only 808 residence permission to view it. Would have to create a new security group for the 808 peps. What an administrative nightmare. But it's just a thought.

How about simply have Marketplace divide into four sections; Canada, Main North America, Hawaii, and Other?

wreck and 808HerbzG35

What you both have suggested is on the table and being discussed among other things too.

What we do look at as I have posted previously is what is best for Driver overall.

Thanks for you input.

Some of the deleted FS posts should be getting reinstated. The ball is in Russ's court.... cough cough.

I brought the threads back and added "LOCAL ONLY" to the end. I also removed some of the posts from members on the mainland.
