Under View Active Topics; all ads are read, so what difference does it make how they are listed.
Same view when using the VIEW NEW POST feature as well. Those are features to view the post differently. If your an user to who reads post in all different sections, those features are the route to go to catch up on threads. I personally use the VIEW NEW POST feature when viewing the forum instead of having to go to every single forum section.
Here is an example on the point of broken down forum sections:
If you were looking for an English dog, best way to look for an English dog is to go to the English Classified section instead of looking for an English dog by using the VIEW ACTIVE TOPICS or VIEW NEW POST feature.....At least in my opinion that would be the route to go if you want to only view English ONLY classified ads as using the other routes mentioned above would show threads from ALL forum sections.
This thread explains the point of the Classified Breakdowns but principle works the same on why the forum is broken down into different sections:
viewtopic.php?f=52&t=141697I have thought about just combining everything down to two sections on the forum -
General Forum section (Everything under the sun but no classified ads) and
Classified section (only classified ads)..........but the more I thought about, folks would still bitch so I have left it as what is so folks can easily find sections related to topics of interest with the sections broken down based on topic matter (The way it is now).
