Like others I have only ever tried the Classified section once and found nothing local to Portugal. Perhaps a Classified section linked to the country that is being used now that would be a great help.

I think you find on this site there is a lot of, "it`s our playground we were here first"...If your post does not suit/agree with their agenda bang it`s gone.
Remember the kid at School...It`s my ball if I`m not centre forward I`m going home?
Completely agree with you, while nobody wants an ad mag taking over, a section relative to selling/buying/giving away/anybody got in a Geographical area surely could cause no harm, after all there appears to be a moderator patrolling here 24 hours a day to jump on naughty people.
There again it`s not my ball.

There's a place where you can make suggestions for the site http://britishexpats.com/forum/site-feedback-63/

I don't understand your 'agenda' comment. The moderators apply the site rules, which are there for everyone to read. They're also just ordinary people who've been through the immigration process, and in an effort to help others they work hard in a voluntary capacity to make BE the great, free immigration/visa/country resource it is.

I've no idea but I'd like to think this is meant to be humour? Mods are users who have been asked by Admin to help make sure the forums flow, that people aren't being complete tools to each other, that spammers are knocked back as soon as possible so the users don't get too irate about finding posts in amongst their stupid free passport ad style threads, that when people have problems one or two of us are hopefully around to help. We've just been around a while, most of us have migrated somewhere and know the process. We're all over the world so all offer our time,free of charge, at random times of the day or night. We honestly have better things to do - real life, jobs, family etc - than patrolling or jumping on naughty people (whatever they are). We just want to enjoy BE as much as anyone.

I think people have been trying to point out that it's not very effective; it's too broad in its remit and therefore not very practical. A Classified section per country would certainly be a whole lot more navigable. If things are too difficult to use, they don't get used.

Rosemary.. Can you tell me why then the new forum is now inundated with adverts?... I am

I take it that you mean the legal paid for adverts that are financing the forum in order to maintain it. Without these finances the forum would not exist. Rule 9 is about members using the forum to advertise not about the business side of the site.

I have just spent 5 minutes trying to find the Classified Section. It is not where you directed us. More help please.

Rosemary

There are a lot of problems with the latest updates that have been put in place, many features are at the moment missing and unfortunately the Classified section is one of them. We are waiting for the IT people to sort everything out.

Thanks Rosemary.

Just discovered that if you go into Forum Rules you will find Classified, Wiki etc still on the top line. Hope that this helps until the difficulties are ironed out.
