I'll see if we can do anything about this. If you search product type by going to Marketplace - RCU Forums you will be able to search by the categories you choose yourself. The offer section is gone. Now you can make an offer via a public reply, where you can also see other user's offers. you can also PM the seller to make an offer.

This reminds me of fly eagle jets. Put out a new product and let your consumers be the beta testers and be frustrated when it crashes and burns.
Can you send me a screenshot of those results? I tested on iOS and saw only Jets.

I appreciate you listening to our input and trying to make things better, but I think you guys tried to do a quick fix, not really understanding the issue. Looks to me like you just copied the category list, put a pick box next to each item and pre checked the boxes for whatever was selected on the previous page. How about when we want to sort for airplanes, engines, etc only the subcategories that fall under that heading appear and you let us check the boxes for ones we want to see, kind of like we used to do on the old format. Also, every other forum on this site has the ability to mark the forum read, could this be done with the classifieds?

I understand there are many reasons for changing formats, be it that no longer supported software, existing format not compatible with new servers, expired licenses, whatever, so I'm not going to criticize you guys for making the change, but it hasn't been handled well. It really seems to me that the people who did the change never bothered to make sure they maintained the features that made the site easy to navigate and valuable to the users. Kind of reminds me of an old smartphone I had, they packed all these neat features and apps into it, but it got poor reception, dropped calls all the time and basically sucked at the main reason I bought it, to make phone calls. I didn't keep that phone very long.
I can see what we can do about making that fix. Anymore input on how we can better organize these filters is appreciated.
