    Where should the Swap Shop area be on the board Poll

    Since increasing the size of the swap shop, I moved it to the bottom of the forum index. I want to see where you guys want it to be?

    After finding it (had a couple of anxious moments when I went looking for it this morning) I see nothing wrong with it being here.
    I do like the the way the WTB has been split off from the for sale section.

          I like it here too. But am not fond of splitting the WTB off from sales. I never cared for folks just posting 'WTB' without a description in the subject line - that makes you have to open the ad to see what they want. Splitting it up like this may keep me from seeing what others need because I won't think/bother to go there. But then again, it will be easier to find those in need without having to search through all the other posts. Time will tell. All in all, good job Steve-o.

              I gotta admit it, I also check the Swap Shop first every time I log on and wouldn't mind seeing up top.

                I don't like the title "WTB"with no description, but I know of only 2 users that do this.

                    The swap shop is also the first place I look when logging in too. The simple solution is to make a favorite to OSE at the swap shop instead of the main board. That way, when you click your OSE link, you're taken right to the swap shop.

                    I like it down here, because a lot of people spent their time on the OSE main board, and seldom scroll down here. These boards down here could benifit from the traffic.

                      Give that man a cigar. That was my thoughts.

                      Its a direct link to the "new posts". That way I don't have to search all the individual boards. the nicest thing about keeping the boards all separate, is searching, it makes it much easier to find something.

                        i like it where it was (or higher, first thing i look at so the very top would be best). as far as making it my favorite that could be done. i always thought that it was a better idea to have the main page my fav that way i could see stevens "featured product" ads. i see what diego is saying but i go to OSE welcome page and look at that stuff first, then to forums.
                        lets not loose sight of the big picture, the OSE site is designed to help steven sell new products. the forums are just a side show that is a great free service. alot or other sites would make you pay a fee to buy and sell products in the swap shop. just my opinion (can i have a cigar too? i like the hula girl ones)

                        more importantly i do not like the WTB section seprate. now i dont even look at it now as where i used to browse the ads while i was scanning the for sale section. i will surly miss some WTB ads that i could have possably helped someone out.

                          Thats not completely true. I agree it does help me sell products, but if that was just my only and main intention, I would have closed it a long time ago. The board does more for a ton of other companies besides myself. You never know, some day in the far future, OSE Products and OSE forum might not be together. I have a few domains that are registered already.

                              I have the FS forum linked to my favs in my laptop,so no biggie for me scrolling down for it here.Although i think having the FS and WTB section all together is much better.See if you can give us the option to choose what type of swap we wanna do(for sale,wanted,trade etc) before starting a swap thread,like in RCG.Otherwise you are the boss and whatever suits you will do for me as i find this the best FE forum with the best Swap FE forum of then all!!!.....thanks Steve for let us voice our opinion in this......Albert
