    Please post items/services to buy and sell on our Classifieds tab... not on our Boards.

    Our entire Hostess and Moderator team thanks you!!!  Also, my wife thanks you for lowering my stress level... :-)

    I saw one and thought that it was odd, hadn't seen it before.  Hopefully it stops.

    We get a lot of new members in January, due to all the holiday engagements... so thought I'd post this reminder to new members!

    The squirrels behind the scenes have been working overtime on these, so it would be great if boardbees can help out by using classifieds instead of the boards :)

    Maybe there should be an auto FAQ/FYI email that goes out when you register? But then that would mean more work.

    I agree with the FAQ tab or something similar so newbies know what everything is around the site!!!

    Ok, I've done it once (I'm sorry.) ... but that's because I wanted fellow Philadelphia brides to see the wedding items I was trying to sell. The classified don't group them by region... so it's kinda hard to try to sell things, if you have to consider cost of shipping the items. 

    Just a thought.

    @yrret107: Could you maybe post your idea in the idea section to be able to post your items for sale by region in the Classifieds?   You make a good point!  :) http://ideas.weddingbee.com/

    @Lillindy.

    There is an idea already about having location on classifieds.  I don't know if it's something they are looking at doing.  Maybe I'll bump the post again with my reasons for having it.

    That would be great, and maybe you could post the link for it here so more of us could vote for it.  Thanks! :)

    Ooh! I love the idea of a FAQ/FYI email or section somewhere. It took me two and a half months of being in the hive before I finally noticed the "Ideas" section up at the veeeerrrrrrry top of my webpage.

    What about just adding a clickable note about it on the Write a Post page?  Right under the bit about vendors being allowed to post and snarkiness, you could add:

    "If you are looking to buy/sell wedding items, please post in the Classifieds section instead."

    Haha sorry I was just venting... wasn't looking for practical solutions at the time. :-)

    But sure, we can look into adding more text above the posting boxes.  I actually don't think it will help very much - we already say vendors shouldn't spam our boards, but we get vendor spams all the time.  

    But it's come up as a suggestion a few times, so we'll make a note to sneak it into a future code update!

    mrbee, I've been in super organized mode lately, so sometimes they drive me a little crazy too, and I do feel a little weird for admitting that.  :-)
