    I realize when someone posts it says where they are from . What if you added a section for area specific members or things are members need . Like you could have ares such as northwest , southwest , middle states and east cost lower and upper . Then if somebody needs parts or help they can post to get help ? Just a thought and maybe from each area could be a moderater to maintain .just a thought

    If I had A part for sale and someone had South East as where they lived. I would just ignore the add. Area's are very large. If it was someone close to me I probably would give them the part if they picked it up but we have been through this before. So I am ready for to be flamed.:stirthepot:

    Location is mandatory for the classifieds so it should be easy to find items in your area. If you need help from local members, you could always post a thread with the location in the title.

    Once I fix the server performance issues, I plan to install a member map to make it easier to find local members.

    My thinking is if there is a question or someone needs a members help then members in that area would help .It may not even be car related

    Problem with this is that Maverick/Comet content will be intertwined with non Maverick/Comet content, making Maverick/Comet content difficult to find. For the benefit of all members, Maverick/Comet content needs to be searchable and this can only be effective if the content is properly classified and not scattered in non Maverick/Comet areas.

    If local help is required, just start a thread with a well defined title in the appropriate section.
