As I read down the Recent Posts column, it might be handy if there was a small header that shows what this thread is from i.e., Electrical, scenery, buy/sell, etc. Sometimes the title does not always clearly indicate what area it pertains to.

I think Rich said they couldn't do that when it was suggested once before.
It's a good suggestion, but it's not something I have control of. The folks at Hoopla would have to make that change in the program itself.
I'll post this there as a suggestion.
RRman,
Real good suggestion, if the Web powers, can make it happen!

Can't we prod HOOP.LA for some sort of classified ad module - so the For Sale section can work without all the conflict and moderation?

Thanks Rich, glad I could contribute something useful. Now to wait for Hoopla to roll out Rev xx.yy
Thanks Rich for forwarding RRMAN's suggestion to the site people.
In the meantime, my one suggestion in regards to this would be a gentle ecouragment for people posting in the sale or wanted to by sections an indication in their topic:
FS: Lionel whatever
WTB: MTH Whatever
That way in the recent posts window we would know.
I often click on a "Recent post" only to find it's a For Sale post, when I'm thinking it's going to be a topic and discussion about said item.
Just an idea
