And since I'm on a roll

, adding dates to the Rallies title is helpful too, besides when y'all get ready to move them into the archives you know what's already gone by....

Sorry, can't help myself

I agree about the Rallies--I hope to one day go to one, and read all of the threads. If the title had a date AND state/province, it would be great!

As you can see, when posting a trailer for sale the original poster can now select a 2 digit Postal Code as a prefix to the Title of the Ad. This will let everyone know what State or Province the trailer is located in. Searches can be sorted using this code.

To search by state look for the sorting tool at the top of the forum. Select the state of interest to get a list of all ads in that state.

I like the prefix idea much better. I just noticed it when I had look today, Thank you for adding that.

No need to read all the threads for the rallies - just look on the rally map.

I have tried to put all the rallies on the main Rally map and have listed them by date and I have changed the location pins on the map from green to red once the rally has already happened.
