I recently browsed the IBMWR site and found that ALL items for sale, or wanted, are now in ONE catagory with a small header stating the catagory that it would have been listed under in the old format. Currently, they have 1380 items listed. What brilliant scholar dreamed up this disaster?

Oh, the market main page looks intact, but click on any one of them to open....that's the dog pile Native is talking about. Looks like it's a 'puter problem at the site.

Yes, I've been trying to access it all week.

Jean's link works, though. Her address says 'market', where the links on IBMWRs main page all say 'marketplace', and fail.

But even with Jean's link, when you click on 'Airheads, Parts For Sale', you get the entire database.

Hmmmmm. It DId work OK the day after your tranny seized-up, Rob. I haven't had to go there again.
Did anyone try it for the other categories? or is is just an "Airhead thing"...maybe somebody is playing a bad joke on us!

I clicked on all the links I have used in the past and they all lead to the dogpile.

I couldn't even get the site to load a couple of weeks ago. This is an improvement by comparison.

Go to the "SEARCH" function where you will find a selection of marketplace categories. Select the ones you want, and you will get the sorted marketplace ads you want, again. I just did it and BINGO!!
I also sent the admin a note...
