FWIW, that's what I remember.

Wait five seconds and click the Hide Classified button. NBD.

Yep.

Many times I have found the items for sale extremely amusing. I.do enjoy a good laugh. Some of the ugliest sofas I have ever seen have appeared on those posts. Oh...and people trying to sell their shoes and purses. Yikes! Some of that stuff I would either donate or throw in the dump before I would put it up for sale. I actually cannot believe I’ve seen some of these things for sale. OMG...a towel! I click open those posts for a good belly laugh!

Blanket opting out of classifies appears to longer be an option. With the number of posts the OP has started one can presume that Carl can see the big buttons on the new posts page. If this opt-out "feature" is still available, perhaps we can petition TOTV to allow users to have this choice again.

Anyone might know how this could be achieved?

Me too. Not a bog deal at all for me to go to new posts, click hide classifieds, and view the "real" posts.

FWIW, I log in and click New Posts, then Hide Classifieds. I browse the results page and when I see a topic I want to read I'll right-click and select Open Link in New Tab. Close that tab when I'm done reading and am left with the filtered results page. This saves me having to click Hide Classifieds every time the page reloads.

Now. This is the same number of clicks as just hitting Hide Classifieds each time, but it's the principle! I already told you to go away! ;-)

I have bought and sold on TOTV classifieds and find them a valuable service.

Same here. I have done both on many occasions.

Exactly what I do. Then follow it with a Mark Posts Read before closing the browser and you're good to go next session.

Maybe they are lonely and just want someone to call them. It is interesting what people will try to sell.

Almost NOTHING but a Mini Cooper!

I routinely only read classifieds. I have bought and sold using them and have found them useful. as to discussions--I now avoid them like the plague.
