Honestly like the old way a lot better, there are already sites like gear trade and sideline that are essentially the same.
i always looked for what people were selling, nothing in particular.
there is a reason TGR has stayed the same, simple and easy.
i feel like less people are going to use the bst now that you just can’t make a huge thread and have to be more item specific.

No way dude. Nothing worse than having to open 14 threads to maybe find something you're looking for. This is way more streamlined. Let it sink in - you'll come around.

No ones forcing you to be item specific, there's a category that you can specify called "Multiple items". You can set a price range for the different items you're selling. You are free to upload multiple pictures with different price. I've seen plenty of threads on the new system that contains multiple items and the browsing experience is the same.
It would be helpful if you listed specific features and experiences that the original forum had that this lacked. We'd be happy to take a look and implement them if necessary.

Let’s say I’m selling a jiberish lot and I have 10+ or more items, some skis, and outerwear. who’s really going to want to swipe through all the pictures at the bottom to find what your looking for?
just my opinion

Not sure if you have noticed but this site is dying/dead. The improvements are nice IMO

Mista_BobI preferred the old layout. I could see more at once.
I also did too.
For casual shopping now its a ton of scrolling and page changing.
I gotta add that the working search function is nice. I tested it by searching for On3p and Tall Ts..and it worked!
On my phone I had to hit the search button twice

BST_PoliceCurious how much if any has traffic gone down? Have you guys done the metrics yet? I definitely don't check as often
Well traffic in BST forum wasn't really anything to write home about, looking at the current page it looks like plenty of people are using it. BST doesn't really effect NS operations either way, we didnt create the new section for our business, we were trying to make it better for you guys, which we did, and you're just being stubborn about change.

Judging by pageview its gone up on average 30% since the new update. It's also a bit hard to measure concretely since we implemented CCPA and GDPR integrations. So the new numbers are actually understated.

Dude I really don't give a shit. I was just curious because it is way less easy to navigate tons of posts in a short period of time. When you make changes, you need to evaluate those changes. I was asking if anyone did since all I see are negative responses about it. Yeah it looks better on the exterior but when many people complain about its features/ease of use, your subjective view is irrelevant other than the fact you help make decisions.
And the ad at the bottom of my screen on bst section begs to differ saying "it doesn't really affect operations".

Every page has an ad dude, I'm just saying the overall volume of BST traffic is not significant. I've been on this website for a long time and watched it change countless times, every time there are loud voices of people who dont like it, within a month nobody even remembers it changed. My point is the old BST is gone, we have a new and better BST section, please try to embrace it. Even mentioning the idea that maybe the new BST section is doing worse comes off super negative, so you should expect a response.
