I've made some tweaks in the trading areas. You'll notice that things are sorted by object or category (Nappies, Clothes, etc) rather than by Sale/WTB/Swap this is part of a transition away from the current system which is based primarily on the activity being undertaken (selling, searching for etc) to one that's more focussed on the object for sale or the object required.

According to sneak peeks released by the mnaufacturer the next version of the forum software has a number of new tweaks including built in topic prefixes (something it's been missing for quite a while... out current implementation is a modification I bought). As such we're making a move to grouping transaction together based on object and then using the prefix tags to distinguish them.

I've also added two and half new sections.

I've added BabyWearing and Toys and also added Shoes to the Clothes section. Shoes may be in line for it's own section if it gets big enough, but it will probably get it's own tags before that to help distinguish things.

In the two new sections BabyWearing and Toys we're going to start using the new system.

Everything remains pretty much as it was except rather than posting in a sub-sub forum You now just post in the BabyWearing forum and at the top of your post screen you pick the appropriate Topic prefix (which is mandatory in the babywearing forum).

Hope that makes sense to everyone.

Once some of the other changes have settled in and everyone starts to get the hang of the new system we'll slowly but surely migrate the other sections over to the new setup.

As always feedback and comments welcomed..
