Making HL better - Page 4

theburan · February 25th, 2008

Maybe if we have something where the average forum goer could submit a review, and if it was good enough, maybe add it to the front page or something after it is reviewed, might be an easy way to increase the number of reviews on the main site, without really spending or doing much.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a section in the forum just for user posted reviews, although I can also see that it's probably just as easy to have people post reviews in the proper section (cpu, cooling, etc.), so I don't know if that's something that would be nifty or not.

What would be really neat is if we could have a bbcode that would allow us to put our wishlist ID# in it and it would port over the list with prices into the post. All formated nice and neat of course!

Wow, I totally failed when I looked through the list of forums, since I tried looking for something like that before I posted.....

Have you ever seen Capper? I would say he looks like a cross between Mr. Clean and Shreck.

Yes ... you asked what I would like to see ... I want more in this specific category ... kind of like ... "watch for these items we tested" with perhaps some notifying service of specials as they come up ... or something along those lines.

BBCODE is allowed, but not HTML, which there is zero chance of allowing as it can be used to take down the site

Then code the BBCODE yourself. All BBCODE is is a front end for something to be plugged into html.
