A new Idea for the B/S/T Forums

[tyrion2323]

Here's a new idea:

Why not structure the B/S/T forums so that all threads are easily readable and similar? Whenever someone wants to sell their marker, they click "NEW SALE" and fill out the forms:

MAKE:
MODEL:
YEAR:
COLOR:
PERFORMANCE UPGRADES: (there are 10 lines for upgrades)
DAMAGE, IMPERFECTIONS: (there are 10 lines for upgrades)
ADDITIONAL ITEMS: (there are 10 lines for upgrades)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
PRICE:
PICTURES: (an upload feature is offered here, hosting up to 3 pictures under 250 megs each)

These information brackets would be organized to create a title and thread automatically.
This would help eliminate the obnoxious, "MUST SEE CRAZY CHEATER GAT HK!!!!!" threads, and would present our B/S/T forums in a way which facilitates both selling and buying.


So, when shopping for, say, an Angel, I might open up a thread and see:




--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002 Dust Red Angel LCD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2002 WDP Angel LCD
Dust Red
Freak barrel kit, upgraded RAM, AIM unimount, CP Regulator, WAS eyes
Slightly scratched on left side, small scratch on ASA
This marker was used by Rodney Squires before they picked up the SP sponsor.
$550

Thank You!

[ScatterPlot]

Love it. Shopping for stuff is so hard when all I see is "Sweet upped doohickey for sale +extras!!!" then I have to sift through the whole post to see what all it comes with, how much, etc.

Mods-Immediately enforce this rule. Need help? Make me and tyrion mods. We can handle it.

Yeah but what if its a multiple gun listing...

Thats a quick way to cludge up the bandwith.. say a guy is selling 10 guns now thats 10 posts instead of one post with 10 guns... Great Idea needs refinements

[RingOfScale]

just make it have space for multiple markers in one post, maybe up to 3 or something, and it would be sweet

How often does that really happen?

'I could see 3 guns a post working.

Glad to see that people are liking it =)

I'm not sure what programming codes or languages might be necessary for this, but I'm sure that it must be possible. Does anyone have anymore information about this sort of thing?

You could even do a cut and paste thing if you wanted to have more than one gun per thread.

Uhm, I can't say that i've ever seen a thread like that on AO.
PBN, yes, AO, no.
