Site improvement, Would be nice....

Sun Dec 04, 2016 12:57 pm

Hi all,

Hey this is a great site and still is.
I'll get around to noting the other comploaints I sent privately about some of the avatars and threads.

Another improvement that might help, considering we have way to many (Myself at times!) leave lousy titles.
Many other forum sites allow for a short preview of the OP when scrolling over the title's in the list. Might be nice to have something like this so you don't have to actually open a post to read because the title is too vague. See this mostly in the Classifieds.
For instance: I am currently considering finally getting a 308 based AR/FNAR/?? I don't know all the names for all of them. Trouble is you see lots of titles without which caliber the rifle is. If I'm looking for a 308 would be nice to be able to more quickly sift out the 6.5's, 5.56's, 300BLK, etc... Similarly on the carbines 9mm vs .40 vs. ??

I know this is more work but thought I would throw it out there. Looked through the first couple of pages of the suggestions didn't see anything but its quite possible someone has brought this up before.

BTW I vaguely remember a thread about some other emotioncons to add to the left. I had a few but will have to go find them again!
cheers!

I too wish ads would be more detailed, its a matter of how it grabs me then i'll just skip back and let someone else do all the questioning

they have to meet a certain size

I don't want to see a summary. Makes it easier to resist commenting on something stupid.

Most of the sites have a pop up comment that shows the first two or three sentences of the OP.
Though I t do understand where Duke EB is coming from!

Where it woudl be the most useful is in the classified. You see title like "NIB AR Mod2 for sale". (They are usually a bit better than that but hey this is an example!)
Would be nice to mouse over and see the following: "NIB AR Mod2 in .223 with a basic 1-4x24 scope. With original packing and manuals. ...."

Thanks for the links. Knew it was around just hadn't gone looking ofr them!

I would think just changing the rules to require caliber in the title might solve this. A preview seems like it would be challenging to do.
