Hello Oded, Nir,

Since every newcomer uses the forum for looking for a flat/goods to sell instead of going under "Classifieds", how about making it somehow more obvious for them?

Perhaps change the title: housing and other adds?

Or when someome creates a new id, there could be a quick intro they cannot avoid and there you could explain the different options....including search in the forum options.

I have the feeling that most people do not read....but I do and it is a bit "boring" to see the same kind of adds up all the time..."Hello I am new here and look for a flat, help, I need a flat in a week, please call me if you have one".

I am also thinking the guidelines you have mentioned some time ago - where we could pull together the basic data for these newcomers....including:

- where to look for a flat, sublet, room mate (websites, agencies etc.)

- caution

- internet, telephone etc service providers

- changing your driving licence etc.

I am sure there is a lot more..

Thank you!
