I've made a few minor changes to the way the forums work.
First, "conversations" are now called "Private Messages" (PMs). If you would like to send another member a private message, hover over their user name and you'll see an option for it. I think this new label is far more intuitive than the old one.
Second, I've limited the "profile posts". Pretty much no one was using them and many people were using them to post private info to other members, unaware that the info they posted was public. Basically, people were using them like PMs.
Third, I've combined the For Sale and Want To Buy forums in the marketplace. Going forward, we're using prefixes to post in those forums (i.e., you'll see a little drop down to the left of the topic box when you post an item where you can select FS - "For Sale" or WTV "Want To Buy". This should consolidate traffic and help everyone with their sales.
Thanks!
