How much for / to forum section

[wynode]

Hi all,

There seems to be a lot of questions going around asking how much for certain goods / services.

Hence we are trialling a forum for How much for / to ? (http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?168-How-much-for-to) threads. The trial will last for 3 months when we will re-evaulate whether to keep it or not.

If you post a question in here don't always expect a reply as you're expected to do some research of your own.

Comments welcome.

good idea.

good idea.
trial is warranted.

no one will be able to tell if it's going to work. I suspect not.

but for now, we have somewhere to dump the rubbish questions.

I was thinking of members posting about what they know this parts cost about this much etc etc.

and then once we collate those info, sticky it.

usually like engine. ffs b16a lolll

Cant hurt to trial anyway

Example

How much to install coilovers? I would suggest 3 hours labour plus wheel alignment - labour rates vary greatly though

[Bludger]

the creation of this section still won't stop the questions being asked in the wrong forum.
Just means we have somewhere to direct them.



We should try educate new members, they must post in the correct sections.

I still think there needs to be a feature for people with under 20 posts, that when they try to start a new thread, it redirects to a page that says "I see you're new here. Have you tried searching? How about the FAQ section? If you want to know a cost, check out the how much for/where to forum"

It would stop all these pointless, annoying, reposted questions.

Would rep if could, must spread more rep first - perfect idea

Good to see this is going ahead. People just need to be a little helpful and this could work out very well.

You cannot sticky prices unfortunately because they fluctuate a lot. If only life were that simple!

Well it's 3 months now and just wondering what the feedback is. I see a few threads in there with responses.

[Bludger]

the problem is educating the new guise to post in the correct sections.

[dougie_504]

Agreed Bludger, but the section itself, what do you think of it?

[Bludger]

what/where & how much for/to..........should be amalgamated, maybe.....


and moved up higher. switch it with parts for sale.

parts for sale will get clicked on no matter what.

move it up so it gets seen and clicked more.

Interesting idea
