Ted, I was just wondering what the situation on classifieds rules and regs is, as I am searching through them now for me next weekend car and came across this beauty:

www.pistonheads.com/sales/98567.htm

As well as the hundreds of ads that the seller has not though to put a price on.

I did a search starting low and had to sift through loads of ads for Ferraris and TVRs. Now I'd love a Chim but just can't afford one though seeing as how some of these are 'free' I might just be able to

No, sorry that's not what I meant. The ad featured is one which has almost no identifying features at all and one will struggle to see what it is when flicking through a 'price ranger search'.

There's loads more that have no price on them at all.

Would it be more useful to exclude ads with no prices on when doing a price search?

...and I see your point about not having sufficient description. I'll give that some thought.

how about a tick box for only viewing adverts with pictures when you search?

Yep, could do that fairly easily.

And also being able to select PHers would be nice.

burning the midnight oil then Ted?

also how possible would it be to have the advertiser put their post code in so registered can see roughly how far away it is or see its general location on a map?

edit: i've just noticed you have a sort by distance section so this would be fairly redundant...
