Possible to separate property for sale & property to rent?

[esme]

I think it would be a good idea to have separate areas of the forum for property to rent or flat shares from property for sale, as it is almost impossible to sift out what you want using the search button. Might this be considered please? Thanks

I'd like to talk to the forum and tell it what I want............don't think it will happen though. I have a microphone in case. If I had any serious hope or expectation of a suggestion being taken seriously I'd probably put it on the 'Ask Admin' thread. They might read that one. One like this.......who knows?

So far as I know, Admin takes a great deal of attention to suggestions.

That's not the same thing as agreeing with them, having the funds for them, having the resource for them or whether they'll acutally work in practice.

There have been many section requests on here, and if they'd all been implementted the forum would be unusuable.

I can see the idea in splitting the property section, but by its very nature it only attracts people at very isolated times in their local life, and for relatively short periods. Implementing a major change would probably not attract the growth in usership that the effort would require to justify it.

Along with Huguenot's points above, in the last 5 pages of the property section, which takes you back to March, there are just 3 properties for sale. Is another section really called for?

[Administrator]

Thanks for the suggestion but I want to keep the forum down to as few sections as possible, as Huguenot suggests the amount of use of the residential section does not warrant the additional space.

And I'm always open to suggestions, if it wasn't for them there'd be no Family Room, no separation between the Wanted and the For Sale section and even the Residential section came from a suggestion too.

I would like again to suggest the family classifieds are split to give s separate section for childcare
