  1. One feature of the old site was that you could see how many unread posts there were in each thread since last visiting a specific subforum. This was invaluable in determining how much activity a thread had and whether or not I should invest my time in looking at it (especially in the sales threads, which is where I spend most of my time). Is that coming back? Please bring that back.

    I know how to just directly to unread posts in a thread, and I know the number of total replies is listed for each thread, but unless I remember how many replies there were last time, which I'm not going to memorize, there's no way to know how many of those replies are new.

  3. I have a topic for discussion and a proposal to amend one of the rules/guidelines for sellers. Not sure if this is the right place to do this, so redirect me elsewhere if necessary.

     

    I recently bought some comics from some non-U.S. sellers who did not disclose their location in the sales threads nor their profile. So I was surprised by the high shipping costs after I've agreed to buy items, although I did not ask up front where the sellers were shipping from. Given that this forum and the majority of the users on this forum are U.S.-based, I assumed the sellers would be in the U.S. or disclose the out-of-country location up front. While I bit the bullet and paid for the comics, I feel that omissions of shipping locations are grounds to cancel a deal and may be a techinique used by some non-U.S. sellers to increase sales.

     

    The only rule in the usage guidelines pertaining to this for sellers is:

     

    8. List estimated shipping costs, times, and methods.

     

    I proposed amending this rule to the following:

     

    List estimated shipping costs, times, and methods, and at a minimum list the country the items will be shipped from.

     

    I do not propose requiring users to change the location in their profile, as many have creative/nonspecific locations (i.e., "somewhere in middle America").

     

    Thanks for your time.
