Classified board should be categorized by states

Classified board should be categorized by states like the previous classified board over a year ago. It becomes much more efficient and convience. I'm from IL and that's where I want to start then if I dont see the IROC I want per se then I will go under Wisconsin, Indiana, etc. Dont everyone agree?

It sounds like a good deal, but it would probably take up way to much space on the server, and way too hard to maintain. Life would be much better here if every ad included state, general state location (like which major city your closest to) and Zip Code. That would make it easier.

I don't think it is necessary. One email to the seller or buyer and you will know where the part/car is located. I am in Canada and have bought and sold things all over both countries.

I wanted to do that based on everyone's "LOCATION:" setting in their profiles, but there's no way to force everyone to spell CALIFORNIA on way... you'd get Cali, CA, Calif, California, Golden State etc. So I didn't do it that way. You'd also get locations like "Your mom's house" showing up too if I did it that way I guess I could add an optional state drop down to where you post your ad so you can specify if you want.

Dirk, if you could incorporate "state" as another drop down menu, that would be excellent. Thanks in advance.
