Suggestions

All start off and say this site is awesome and the people who are a part of this forum make it that way. There's always room for improvement however. Being a member of several other forums you tend to become a custom to features that are useful. This site lacks a few of those features which I will piont out and maybe we can get someone to adjust the settings

1- When a new thread is started and you first view the title it is in boldface telling you that you have not viewed this thread. If you read it, the title becomes normal upon reviewing. If you do not view, close your browser and return those new threads are no longer in boldface so becomes more of a challenge to figure out what you've read. I know the boxes on the side tell you this but, every other site keeps the titles in boldface until you view the thread. I would like to see the same here.

2- A start date/time posted next to the thread starters name would be very helpfull. Many times members will pull up old threads and you don't have any clue when that thread was started unless you go inside to view the first post.

3- Selling fee. I know this has been brought up several times and my one post here will do nothing. I just want to take the time for my view. The advertising here is on par. There has to be somebody getting paid for it. You know when I search something on my iphone like a new matress for instance, the advertising on this site becomes related to that recent search. There is some time and money being invested there meaning money is being generated. The few who actually do pay I'm sure make a very small dent. If you open up the classifieds (like every other forum) then you would have more of an audience to view the advertisements.

Thanks guys!

Hope someone reads this

We'll that went over about how I thought

I forgot one thing

Having "thread starter" posted under the thread starters name throughout the thread would be very helpful too.

A suggestion for those using the "search" function.....a general search only searches the last few weeks/months of posts.

Go "advanced search" and select at least "one year" to see more threads/posts.

I agree with most of the points, and I suspect to make most of it happen it would take a forum script upgrade plus someone to actually set everything up. I wonder if the admins are active and reading this.

About the search (which is the weakest point), just use the google site specific search, like this:

Code:
string you are looking for site:xoutpost.com
This will return the results from xoutpost.com only and works way better then built in search function.

no, we can't do that. Sorry to see that the $35 (about a half a tank of gas) is not worth it to you to pony up and support the site via a Premier Membership.

$35 gets you three full tanks in Kuwait!
But a point well made, I will put my money where my mouth is; I have been here long enough to do that.

Wow

I thought I was being helpful here. Never expected such a smart ass comment like this from you, the mod. To top it off you wish me luck in another thread for starting my own forum! WTF? This is a Suggestions area. I'm giving you suggestions for your forum which you asked for by having this section and you come at me this way. Real professional.

In my other thread I was asking a serious question (with a little ranting). I honestly had planned to become a premier member that day. No joke. Until YOU posted your defensive comments on both threads.

Here's another suggestion, if you are offended by suggestions then get rid of the suggestions box

Because of YOUR comments directed at me, this site will NEVER see a dime of my money.
