A "participated threads" shortcut would be cool.

A more radical idea would be to go with a*"community builder" component. See a person's watch pics, "friends", etc. People are used to this facebook type of interaction now. Currently you get only to see a user's threads/posts, and that is done via an moderator's point of view. The inevitable "status update"&"wall post" might take a toll on the post count, but in the end, this is how communities evolved these past few years. Maybe it is for the best to follow..

not a bad idea, I like it.

It can be done such that these private style posts don't add to the count

Turbo Geek indeed! The site (including pic-heavy threads) is even super quick on my phone! I haven't even bothered with Tapatalk, it's so fast.

I've always liked the forums at fredmiranda.com (photography site). If someone edits the original post, it says the time edited and gives an option to view the previous version.

More suggestions (from a site noob)-
I'd like to be able to sort the posts within a forum by the original post date, not just the latest post date, this is mostly for the sale and vendor forums.

Also, on the front page have the 5 or 10 most recently created threads, and also the 5 or 10 most active threads. The current scrolling is a little annoying.

1.
Delete-posts (30 min max~ - just for double posts and other hick-ups.)

2.
Auto-refresh OR update message in topic. Meaning that you either get a pop-up that there's a new post in the topic your browsing, or that the site refreshes (I guess a message would be better).

3.
Hardcoded trade template.
In short: A list of mandatory forms that will have to be filled in prior to posting a sales/trade thread. -THESE WILL BE LOCKED WHEN STARTING THE THREAD-

- Sale price
- Sale shipping price
- Defects (cosmetically/mechanically)
- Liable for loss yes/no/partially
- Liable for damage yes/no/partially
(and the old rules)

This resulting in absolute clarity for buyers and potential buyers.

You can go as far as introducing a trade-indexing-search where you can f.e. search on a specific watch and check-out the min/avg/max price, last sold, and so on.

The idea is that you fill in these forms, post the topic, and update your price by adding a new price (updating the prices, rather than deleting it). Same can be done with all other fields, but all fields will be stored in a history log - this to make it as fair as possible, and give as much openness as technically possible.

The idea, visualized(raw & dirty):

(not sure if technically possible?)

thanks blix, your pictures were HUGE. :lol: I had to re size.

I have the pics and will look into this too.

Thank you for taking the time to really detail your idea.

Yeah, I resized them too - but that doesn't work, because all details become blurred. :( I hope it's possible, but I'm guessing it's a lot of work.

I will gladly help out with the easy stuff if you guys need help.

Tried my best to rescale AND make them visible:

Perhaps could even make this a VIP feature since it would be a great and exclusive benefit to know when items come up before the general masses and may entice many non-VIP's to pony up and support this forum. ;)

I actually like this idea alot as a VIP perk. Might be tough to implement, but would be pretty handy

All kidding aside. Now that the site is much more stable, I agree with the others who've mentioned the search function...and also keeping people from removing thier prices from sales threads (this could be accomplished through a simple modification to the sales rules though).

Other than that, I'm happy. Thanks for providing this place for us.

It would be great to be able to post pic directly from your computer. Will the current themes still be available?

Bigger avatars with the option to periodically change them would be nice...and I'm hoping the 10 most recent posts continue to scroll somewhere on the home page.

Smaller avatars? Boooooo!
