Why is it I can only select two years when placing an ad? Since 67-69 used some of the same parts it would be most helpful to select those 3 years when listing parts for sale.
The All Years category only lists parts in the All Years category and not the specific years.

It says you can only select one catagory, I can select as many as I want but don't know how the system handles it once submitted. Is that how you are doing it and ending up with the ad under 2 catagories?
I would place the ad under the year the part actually is. The folks looking for parts are sharp enough to know to look under all 3 years if the part they want will work for any 1st gen...

Dennis,
The problem I had was selecting the years 67, 68 and 69 for the Rally Rims I wanted to sell. It would only let me select 2 years.
I had to list them under all years, in which case they wouldn't show under each SPECIFIC year. They would only show up if someone selected All Years.
Make sense? Am I being to anal?
If the parts fit more than one year we ask that they go in the all years category. It still shows on the main 'general' display page too.
The problem we were having was so many were posting the same ad in each year that the ad section was getting clobbered by repeats, esp if a picture was used then it was in three times and used... well, three times the resources for the same ad.
The parts hunters always check the 'all years' although most everyone just clicks on the main display which lists all the ads at once so it gets noticed.
