So several people have said that there are "too many sub-forums", I guess I just don't seen why having a lot of sub-forums is a problem. To me it is much more convenient to just ignore an entire sub-forum that doesn't relate to me rather than to sort through a much more general topic, clicking on every post, to find what I do or do not want to read.
As far as the classifieds being a courtesy - how much of a courtesy is it if it isn't user friendly? If you are looking to buy a used dressage saddle and you first have to click on 15 ads that have everything but a dressage saddle in them, it's a real pain. It also makes it hard for the sellers. Again, how much of a courtesy is it if nothing ever sells because it is so poorly organized?
One thing that would help is if people put what they are selling in the title of their post - "Lots of stuff for sale" doesn't help me know if I need to bother looking at that post or not. "2 Dressage Saddles and Paddock Boots" or something like that is much more helpful. Is there a way to have a little "suggestions" box come up when people post to the classifieds that would remind them of that?
