Classifieds (adding what state located)

Who else thinks it would be great if you could scroll through the classifieds and see on the main page what state the person that is wanting or selling the parts or cars is from.(without having to click on the post to actually find this out)!

That is a good idea, but not every member lets us know where they live. So you would be right back to square one by emailing them and asking.

I think it would be a good idea. Make it a required field when filling out an ad, then allow people to sort by state. My brother is looking for a thirdgen, and when hes on here he always finds a sweet car for sale but its no where near us.

I'm sure you have already talked about this with Dirk, but I have another suggestion to add.

Have a check box for someone that does not live in the United States. Either that or include the Canadian Provinces and the countries that we know of that people visit from. ie - England, Australia, Ireland.

What about a location requirement for posting classified ads? In my opinion, it would help sell items. I know I sometimes dont even look twice at an item for sale if there is no location listed.
