Trader

[Sp3rMz]

Another bright idea from me. I gotta stop thinking of shit LOL. This is acutaly useful so hope you take it seriously. I reakon the trader section should have a sub section for each traders. eg. you click on "FS Traders", brings you to "Newkon, monstarperformance, etc." then clicking on each one will bring you to what they have on offer with individual threads. Instead of them being all over trader section and splattered everywhere. It be clean useful for us as a consumer and also good on behalf of the traders. win win situation. Mayb lose situation for you as its bit more work.

yeah it would certainly clear it up as its a bit of a mess atm (in my opinion)

[wynode]

Good point!

My concern is that by having different sub-forums for each trader, it makes it all that harder for members browsing/looking for products. See, if all the traders posted in one forum, then members can just browse that one forum and see all the products easily (instead of having to go through each sub-forum).

Opinions?

[Sp3rMz]

You know what, I don't think anyone would mind. I as consumer find it more user friendly to see a clean section then having it all over the joint. This way the trader would be more happy too. That is they don't have to always bump or worry bout their threads not being bump downards by another trader.

OR wyn, what about like traders lsited under subheadings of items?

Wide titles like cosmetics, performance

or Bodky kits, wheels, engine, suspensions etc?

[Sp3rMz]

or what he said. by sub thread sub headings it tidys up the forum.

[panda[cRx]]

that what i was gonna suggest but i thought someone would have a cry about it lol

[EK9]

hehe... i'll have a cry then ;)
sectioning off like wheels, eng, exterior etc will mean traders can't list their gear by brand, like Hondar or Newkon have with Spoon, Vision, Mugen, etc... they'll have to seperate everything... then they'll be the ones havin a cry! :D

[Sp3rMz]

Sub sections for traders. I reakon that would make traders happy and consumers happy so they don't have to always look for their post.

[McChook]

I like it how it is now

Easy enough to see everyhting in one place.
I might be looking for wheels, but if I see a wicked bodykit that I wasn;t looking for, I might buy that too!!

I think it is right the way it is - saves confusion, easier for everyone IMO

[panda[cRx]]

easy? its a jumbled mess atm imo

[kenshin]

like to hear what the traders think about this idea...

[Sp3rMz]

Hmm good call toan. I might PM each trader and ask them to have a say if thats alright with Wyn. In the end he has the final say on what goes on around here.

[hondar]

i dont mind to have each trader having all his stuffs at one sub-section. i prefer than separating traders into section such as rims, performance parts etc etc. this gives less headache to put the many items in particular category. and there is no need keep bumping as well.

[newbie]

... i fink probably sub section as traders. ish easy for the people sellin.

also easier to see if a trader has something new.

Another sugguestion ontop of Tiens...
if possible (im not a scripter or anything so dont know how if it would be possible) but in the CP you can change how many posts you want per page... thread display (ie - oldest or newest first) etc.. all that.. if possible make it an option for those who like it how it is atm, or those tho who want tiens idea or something, make it an option in the User CP?

Personally i dont find it too hard at the moment.. the traders section is pretty good.. they say which trader and wat the product is in the title... if your interested you click on it? having them in sections could just mean alot more browsing thro for ppl lookin for somethin specific?

Personally im not fussed either way =]

[Sp3rMz]

Dam you James, you're suppose to back me up not say you're not fussed. As for you're idea it's kinder confusing to understand but i find it a no need anyway.

[wynode]

User CP --> Edit Options --> Look under Thread Display Options

Everything from number of posts per page to display order (oldest/newest first) is in there. If you want me to increase the option to more than 40 posts per page (don't know why you would) then let me know.

[SiR JDM]

Not sure if people understood wat i was trying to say..
Was just suggesting that if it is possible... an optoin in the user control panel for *For Sale : Traders Section* could be available... and lets each individual user set it the way he/she would like to see the Traders Section..
eg.
have options:
such as .. *order by date posted*, *order by trader*, *order by product type*

That way those who like it how it is can keep it, those who want a change can have it their way
ie -
MrChook can have it how it is atm
Tien can have his trader sub sections
Andy can have his product sub sections or somethin of the likes

That way everyone is happy... like i said before im not a scripter so im not sure how plausable it would be.. just an idea
If possible =]

[Sp3rMz]

Oh i get what you mean now. If its not already part of the script, sounds like a pain in the arse to do. I don't see whats wrong with how it is atm.

[SiR JDM]

I don't see whats wrong with how it is atm.
Wasnt the whole point of your idea to change the layout of the For Sale : Trader Section ?

My idea lets people have an individual choice of how THEY want the section to be presented to them.. as alot of the other forum is via the User CP ...
Weather is functionable or plausable is upto the admin team

[Sp3rMz]

My idea was to clean up the trade section yes. Yet to me it just sounds like a bit of work for the scripters. If it is easy for them fair enough, where as my idea quick sub section for each trader sounds more simple :p In the end what ever is easiest for us as a consumer, easiest for the trader, easy for whom ever is in control of the web design. (just woke up, if it doesnt make sense tough titties. goin back to bed blahz).

Fair enough...

Im with MrChook tho.. i rk'n its fine how it is atm

[Sp3rMz]

Think I'm going to give up this debate. I've been out numbered. James watch out for a nice brick in your car :p

[SiR JDM]

not jus cuz of your threats tien.. u got nothin on me! :p

[Sp3rMz]
