I always look at New Posts first and it was very easy to spot the classified forum listings. Now they look very similar to all of the other forums that begin with "The Villages Florida..."

It's not as if anyone outside of TV is going to be listing or looking here, so can we please just go back to "Items for Sale" or "The Classified Forum"? Simple and clear.

Classified Advertising is called that because it is segregated into many different classifications - Cars, Electronics, Garden etc. etc.

This is not how it is done on TOTV, so calling the forum "Items For Sale" would be more accurate and, as you say, simpler and clearer.

It would also match its opposite forum - "Wanted to Buy".

And more closely match its description in the Home section.

Looks like it was a case of change for change's sake.
