Not really what I asked and since I'm rarely on the same machine that doesn't help.

isn't that part of the search parameters that you can specify? set up a specific search, save it and you have access to it on all machines as long as you sign in....

I believe I understand what you are asking - you want to know if there is a quick way to see all the wanted ads on the site.

If I misunderstood, please expand upon your question(s).

All wanted ads:
There is no quick link to view all of the wanted ads on the site.
You can perform a classifieds search from the Search screen and from that form, select Wanted Ads Only from the Wanted Ads selection box press Search to see all of them. You can enter other filtering as well, if desired.

Wanted ads in categories:
If you enter a classifieds category, for example, Parts - Type 2/Bus - 1949-67, there is a link at the top of each category to see the wanted ads only. Click on Show Wanted Ads Only

This is more what I was thinking..I never really noticed it in the categories cause I generally click the search function, then wanted ads only, then sort newest on top.

I was thinking something more along these areas..
for a 1 or 2 click pass through instead of four..

So basically you want a link to all the new wanted ads in all categories.

Yes, if possible.. Idea

It may even help those with wanted ads to get more help with what they need..

I know I answer quite a few of them with parts I am trying to get rid of,
maybe others would do more of that also.

In general, are you trying to see all the NEW wanted ads only or just all the wanted ads with the newest on top?

NEW being ads posted today, then yesterday, and so on.
So the ads would be New, New, New, New

ALL wanted ads being new and updated ads so the ads would be mixed:
New, updated today, New, New, updated today, updated today.

Other are welcome to reply, just curious to find out what people are using most if I was to only make one quick link to a "Wanted Ads" listing.

I added a link to the Classifieds Home page in the "Quick Links" bar.

It's near your 3rd arrow above.

The space there is pretty tight if someone is only on 1024x768 resolution so if anyone thinks it looks crammed, let me know.

Woohoo,that's what I wanted.

Your right, it does look very crowded up there now.
Anyway to fit it in to the classified drop down menu? I appreciate the efforts,but if it doesn't flow with the layout I understand.

I don't think it has the traffic to justify it being in the menus but feedback from others welcome.
