This concern is regarding lack of knowledge about river dangers when going to a tubing business.

I heard of 3 drownings in the Bogue Chitto River in the last 4 months with the last drowning being a young boy from an area not close to the tubing areas, Plaquemine La. People near rivers where there is tubing may know the dangers but people from other areas do not know these dangers. When.... Read More

Please go back to the old way. This is way to busy, hard to figure out and time consuming. The previous way (yesterday) was very easy to follow. Thanks.

Uncle wants to buy a early 90's 15 hp motor for his aluminum flat boat. Owner of the motor doesn't have a title but said that all you need is his written receipt(bill of sale) and my uncle can get the motor registered. Is this true? He wants the motor but if he can't get it registered, then he'll continue looking.

I've been kind of intrigued on the subject lately and was wondering if some people would like to post any bigfoot sightings they or someone they know may have had.

OK, we've gone over this ground countless times. You want them to be chronological (latest classifieds on top) and others want to be able to bump ads. The result is a no-win situation.rnrnWhenever we set the system to stick ads chronologically, users simply repost a dozen times thinking their ads have to be on top to be effective. Any time limit that would be effective would be so restrictive users would howl.rnrnWe are working on an upgrade to allow you to choose how you would like to view the ads (much as you can choose to view the reports in the new forum or Classic View), but until then we're sticking with the current settings.rnrnBelieve me, we get complaints either way. Again, it's a no-win situation.rnrnThis thread is being lock because continued discussion is simply plowing over old ground.

Well for the first time in Mrs. Obama's life she can say she is proud to be an American. Well I sure am glad that she is because I am no longer proud to be a part of what this country has become.

I am super proud to call myself a part of what America WAS in the past. Yes as sad as it is it is gone. Hopefully not forever.

It used to be that you could search the classifieds based on most recent or most recently updated. Now there is no option for that so when you browse the classifieds you have to weed through things that were posted back in March???? This is crazy and just isn't timely at all. Can't we get this changed so the most recent come up first?
