    Maybe I missed it but I was thinking an option to read through all wanted classifieds and all for sale classifieds in the markplace would be good, rather than having to go into each area. Some of the listings may be for parts so small that the seller is happy to do internationally. Alt there could be a sub category called international that people can put ads in.

    When you go to Advanced Search, you can select the type of ad you want to see.

    S = For Sale
    W = Wanted
    A = Auction

    You can also filter by Continent or Country (named Category), Condition, Seller Type, Max Price and so on.

    Before the software update, it was also possible to search by several other fields like Ad Category (Vehicles, Parts, Accessories, Other), Model (900, 9000, 9-3, 9-5 and so on). This search functionality will be added again in the next few days. You will then be able to do an Advanced Search on say "All parts for sale anywhere in Australia" or "All Saab 9-5 used cars for sale in Europe".

    I do like your suggestion of some kind of field to check when you're willing to ship worldwide so you can search on that as well. However, we already have quite a few fo these fields and it depends on the seller if they fill everything out correctly.

    Can we get rid of the auto-save? I don't ever use it (does anybody?), and I think that's what causes the "Are you sure you want to leave this page?" message.

    On paper, auto-save sounds great, but it just doesn't seem to work right.

    I have used auto-save several times and it is a life-saver when you browser locks up or crashes after you spent a lot of time on a long post.

    The message is caused by a slow response from the server. SW is running on a shared hosting plan so it is not the fastest either. The distance between the US and the site in Strassburg may play a part as well. I agree those messages and the occasional double-posts are annoying but it is something we have to live with for now. Or vBulletin may fix this problem in the future..

    The site was updated from version 4.1.8 to 4.1.10 last night. No major new features and mostly bug fixes.

    There are some issues with the latest vB version and our site design theme. If you experience and issues, you can change your theme to the vBulletin default in your settings. We'll be updating the design as soon as it is available.

    I removed all the geographical regions and countries sub forums in the Regional Forums. There weren't enough posts to have so many sub forums for US regions and European countires and it is easier to see all events for a larger area. There are now 5 main regional forums: Europe, North America, South America, Oceania/Asia and Africa/Middle East.

    Can the 9000 section - Saab 9000 (1984-1997) - get the years adjusted to be correct? It's always annoyed me a little lol
    Should be 1985 - 1998

    Also - can we get some sub categories in the 9000 section - like Mods/Repairs/Tech Questions

    Something to help break up the topic to aid in searches later.

    Years adjusted for the 9000 forum.

    We have these two sub forums for the 9-5: Tutorials (repair and service) and Diagnostics / Documentation.

    Should we keep a similar format for all forums and add a mod section where needed? Or do those fit in with Tutorials? It's good to categorize but we have to be careful not to make too many sub forums. For the 9-5 Tutorials and Documentation sub forums, I keep an index thread updated with all the threads in that section to make it easy to find information.

    Yeah - add those two sections and it should be good. I can slowly try to move old threads into their new homes if needed as well.

    Tutorials was already there so I added Diagnostics and documentation. We can always change it later if needed so do whatever you feel is right.
