The admin or mods dont need to make this one happen its reall easy for you to do and it should help clean up a lil.

Ok I have noticed that there have been multiple, upon multiple questions about, is this guy good to trade with, should I buy from this person or not.

Easy solution. Start a thread in the good guy bad guy section, and then hyperlink that thread onto your Sig. That way if someone wants to know what your dealings are they can without starting a new thread, or getting the dreaded search it been covered a million times answered. Hope this helps out some. To see what I mean my feedback thread is in my thread click it to just see how easy it is.

 

Surly I am not the only one who thinks this would help clean up some

 

+1 to this notion.

 

It would be nice to hyperlink the name search in the sig... That way when you click on it, it would be just like you searched their name, and all the threads about them would come up... I tried hyperlinking my search but when I clicked the link it said nothing was found...

 

I also tried that.

But when I changed profiles on pbnation, I just took all the post on my old on, quoted it and posted it on my new one.

 

I could be wrong, but the problem with linking a search is that it seems that the search is only valid for a certain amount of time.

I don't have access to the code, but what it seems like is happening is that when you enter a search, it builds a list of threads that matched your search criteria and assigns it an id. This way, when you view a thread, and then return to your search, it just has to find and display the records with the id you were assigned, rather than having to perform your search again. This is done to make viewing your search results faster.

Because of this, the set of records associated with your search id would be incomplete even after just one day (theoretically, it could be incomplete a few seconds after it's created). Considering this, they're not going to keep this set of records and search id around for more than probably an hour or so.

So, when you want to reference a search you made, you need to reference what you searched for, not link to the url that you're given (since it won't reference any threads after an hour or so, or whatever their timeout is set to).

Oh, the suggestion is a good idea, too. Forgot to say that.

hmmmm..wish more peeps would leave feedback when I sell them stuff..lol..

 

lol same here.

 

Agreed. I've done close to 100 transactions on here and have probably 5 feedbacks left for me. I guess it doesn't matter since no one has ever had to ask for feedback since the few comments are still there, but it would be nice.

 

I do zero business unless they have all postive feedback or at least 2 pages of mixed feedback, they are a known member that is on the forums alot and are easy to contact, or work for a company that is well noticed and respected.

Most people do not add feedback cause:

1:people are to lazy to start a new thread
2:they think it is unimportant
3:dont know exactly what to put in the feedback

So to show you what feedback is supposed to look like here is mine off of Pbnation.

This is what it should look like. Its easy and everyone should do it. Its easy, it cleans up the feedback section, makes everyones feedback damn easy to find, and you wont have the constant "is this guy a good or bad seller" threads popping up every ten seconds.

Example:

*Generic Engine Builders* is this a good company to get a rebuild from.

Seach in the good guy bad guy section *Generic Engine Builders*

Upcomes his consolidated thread with all good and bad feedback in one place, you have just saved time by not having to go though all his threads of feedback, space isnt wasted on new threads telling about the how good the service was.

See its that easy.

 

This is a good idea adopt it.

 

Werd.

 

Bump for those who havnt seen it.

 

FYI to all we now have iTrader installed on the forums. Hope this helps a bit with the feedback issues.
