Suggestion for the for sale forums

[mark]

When I put the pointer over the link (thread title), I get a preview window of what's inside.

Seems with the preview window function, the thread title could be general but if the first few lines had a summary (what, where, how much) of what was for sale...

Yeah, but it still takes like 1 second for the little preview to show up. Not everyone's gonna wanna sit there and move their mouse over each thread to see the preview. I personally like to keep the cursor off the screen whenever possible, and just use the wheel to scroll up and down to see everything.

It's much easier to just glance at the whole listing and see the titles all in one shot.

this is a waist of time plain and simple. a title is simply that a title.. it is a quick statement.. if you want info read the thread, thats why titles are limited to a small number of characters.. other wise what would be the use in having a body to the post.. just put everything in the title.

now something constructive would be banning topics like "testing the waters" or "gaging interest" If you want to sell something say for sale as the other two imply that it isn't for sale and you just want to know if anyone would be interested if it was to come up for sale.

I personally think that we should look at a feedback type system as well.
that way people can let others know how a person is to deal with
However, I can also see this becoming a hassle for the moderators cuz god forbid someone didn't agree with something someone said about it
So yea, I can't really see it happening, but I just thought that I would throw the suggestion out there
Just another one of my 2 cents

What's so difficult about putting an extra two words in the title to give a general idea of what you're selling? Nobody said you have to list everything in the title.

We're just saying that ANYTHING is better than only "for sale."
