Alright, here's my pitch:
A classifieds add-on that links to a forum.
Way it works:
Regular forum, few enhancements added on. User creates a new thread in the forum, the add on automatically adds "For Sale:" to the beginning of the thread's name in the Forum Display. Thread author then has the ability to click a link later in the thread's history that signals the item is sold, hence the add-on then changes the thread title's prefix to "Sold:" it would be an easy enhancement to do, I just don't know how to do it. :laugh: It definitely could be extended and enhanced from there by someone with a good creative touch.
Other classifieds systems just doesn't work the way I want it to... I want the new ads to appear in the new threads listing so that everyone sees it... the only way to see the new ads is if you physically go to that section and look it up yourself. Most people don't do that, they look at the Top 15 Statistics and see the top 15 new posts and then go from there... that's why I want to remain with using a forum for classifieds.
