No, but any new classifieds threads should appear (along with their new thread prefix) in the New Posts list, so they should be fairly easy to spot.

Alternatively, when you've finished browsing the Classifieds forums, you can Mark Forums Read (top left of the navigation bar) so that next time you visit you'll only see the orange new posts marker for the forum sections that have changed since you last checked.

You can also Watch any classifieds forums that are of interest and receive an alert and/or email when new threads are posted:

[QUOTE 3296869, member: 45"]Hi Shaun

I there a way of viewing posts in all sections of the new classifieds forum? I, and I suspect a fair few others, am an opportunist browser -I'll have a quick look down the classifieds list regularly to see if anything that has popped up takes my fancy. Now we have so many different sections to classifieds this is going to take ages. I rarely go in there looking for something specific.

I appreciate that a lot of hard work has gone into sorting out the classifieds into the new state, but I did prefer them as was due to simplicity. It is probably just a case of getting used to the new system though, it does help streamline searches I guess!

It's a work in progress. I want to transfer a large number of threads into the new categories so that I can see whether the sub-forums are going to be of practical use at the moment (I suspect the bike/frame ones will be most in demand but that's just a guess).

Once I've got lots of threads moved over I can look at the sub-forums to see whether there is a practical need for them, just yet, and if not move the threads into their parent and put the sub-forums to sleep. :thumbsup:

Cheers,
Shaun :biggrin:

I think that works really well.

i think currently you've gone too far, a little sub division compared to how is was is an improvement but going from one section to 28 seems way overkill in my opinion

bikes/frames
components
clothes/accessories

would probably be enough.

I find it a bit of a kerfuffle. What was wrong with the old set-up? Another forum...has "Complete Bikes For Sale" + "Bits of Bikes etc" (these are items for sale of course) It seems to work fine!

Yep, I actually avoided posting a big for sale list as I had it all prepared as one item and then saw all the sub categories I'd need to separate it into. Bike Radar did something similar, a split between MTB and road and then identical multiple categories under each, plus they introduced a new membership opt in to view/post in them. Their classifieds seem to have died since, I've given up visiting.

I posted an advert last night for a FSA Gossamer chainset. It appeared then disappeared. Not sure whether its a technical glitch or I have broken a rule somehow. Can a mod advise please?

What you can do is go to advanced search, click the "Search Threads and Posts" tab and put * in the criteria.
Then choose the parent "For Sale and Auction" forum, and tick the "Search child forums as well" box.
Finally select the "Order By: Most Recent" option and the "Display results as threads" box and click search.

A bit of a faff, but you can always save it as a favourite. Or here's a link that should work: http://www.cyclechat.net/search/4593480/?q=*&t=post&o=date&g=1&c[node]=21+127+128+129
