I just used the 'opt out' feature for 'items for sale'.

Also treated myself to using the 'ignore' feature for the first time. Ohhh, THAT felt good.

Thank You Admin, for providing these options.

Agree! Good features.

What are y'all going to do when that one thing you can't live without is advertised for sale and you miss it?

When I have something I can't live without, I google it. I do not care to buy from individuals I know nothing about and have no guarantee, and I do not want to have to wade through 20 classifieds to get to the community stuff I like.

As Admin said, the opt-out is great for me, and the opt-in works for you. We're both happy.

Thanks admin! The items for sale were driving me nuts. I had to wade through a half page of ads to get to the information I want. Best feature ever.

Yes everyone is different. Some love certain things and other do not care for them. We are trying to accommodate as many personalities as possible.

I've read all the comments and most of them make sense. The classified ads don't bother me but I do understand when one person uses this site as their store front. One suggestion would be if the Admin. could limit the number of items a single person puts up within, say, a week or month.

Now I will tell you what I really don't like -- what really bugs me -- what I don't think has any place within the general threads. It's the commercial ads from businesses. My feeling is that if a business chooses to pay to advertise -- fine. But I don't think their ads should be among Villagers' threads. The one that really bugs me is a certain landscaper who writes recommendations for himself, supposedly from customers. What a joke!

Now I feel better. I've vented. {;>)

I guess we'll sleep through it. And miss the sale. And never know what could have been.

Thanks to Admin for trying hard to satisfy each member's needs and wants.

Maybe I'm dense, but I can't figure out how to opt out of the classifieds.

If you are using the TalkofTheVillages screens (green), click on New Posts and at the top of the first post click on the Skip Classified Posts button.

If you are using the default screens (blue),the button is not there. Switch to the Talkofthevillages format, click on the Skip Classified Posts button and then flip back to the default format.
