[Support request] Members market place forum

Hi, I’d like to pose a question. As the new Barnsley u3s webmaster, I regularly explore other u3a’s for inspiration. One innovative feature I noticed at Ilkley (Wild Apricot) is their Members Marketplace—a forum where members can connect to buy, swap, sell goods and services, as well as advertise events. Ilkley tells me that it’s widely utilized and greatly benefits their members. Ric Almond suggested that implementing a similar feature could be beneficial. However, currently, there isn’t a method for managing it, besides overseeing the page manually. I’m curious to hear other’s thoughts on this idea. Additionally, I’m wondering if it’s possible to have a forum for simple membership.
