I agree, what an annoying and user unfriendly idea, losing the quickest way to the market is not by any means likely to send more people by the feature page. I have "my forums" bookmarked as my home page. When I link to rcu it goes straight to my forums as most people I know do. Then I used to quickly click on buy and sell to go to the classifieds, even if it was just to browse which I did every day. Now that immediately available link has gone, it is not instantly in my view attracting me to the classifieds as it once was. If you are trying to stop people by-passing the feature page that is a fine idea, you should have just removed the drop downs and just left a single link to buy and sell on every page then they could not have gone straight to a search or whatever. If you add this one link to "buy and sell" then whichever page a user bookmarks as home there will be a single click link to the classifieds which will automatically go to the default feature page or the feature page of their area of interest if they have so designated. Just add one link to "buy and sell" to the site template and your featured sellers and advertisers will be happy and so will we users.
Good Luck

Paul,
I'm lost. The "Buy & Sell" button you suggest sits atop every page of the site. You can click it and it takes you right to the market home page and it features items in your interest area. On the home page, the button appears twice (once on top and once on the left). What am I missing??
