So, I'm not trying to pick on Brian in particular, but is Bikes and Bicycling the appropriate place for For Sale or WTB postings? I ask because I've been dutifully using the Marketplace for that and if it is ok to just post here that would make me feel like a sap for playing by the rules. This is the third instance of this kind of post today (that I've noticed anyway).

I realize that I may just be inferring this rule based on the clearly out of date Forum Introduction Policy.

In all honesty, I never look at the "Marketplace" because it doesn't load instantly when I click on it. It typically takes 5-10 seconds to load. You can call me lazy, but it is the plain truth in my instance. Then again, all I see is the "Bikes and Bicycling" section anyway. The groups sub-forum structure seems woefully stone-age and user-unfriendly. Likewise, "Marketplace" seems like a whole 'nother site loaded through this one. I'm all for a single user interface---not three, or four.

FWIW.

Except: Arrak, you should be seeing the "general discussion" category in the forum as well?

You're surely right. I just load the forum and read what is on the "Recent Forum Discussions" list. If I want to comment and/or read something older, I click the "View All" at the bottom until I find it.
