Title: Making the GroupBuy Section easier to browse.
Post by: wakamoe on Tue, 12 May 2015, 08:01:12

Hi all!

I have actually been browsing through the Group buy section for a few weeks looking to see if there is anything interesting to buy but there has always been something that has been bothering me. So I have decided to make an account post this suggestion.

It is that the fact that most titles do not show if their current group buy is still open or closed. I know I can just click the link and see if the group buy is over but I feel that if there is a "[Open] or [Closed]" in front of the title it would make things so much easier instead of most threads having a [GB] when it's already in the group buy section.

I think that the thread starter may not be able to change the title so maybe require them to ask a mod to change it from [OPEN] when it first began to [CLOSED] when it ends.

Maybe something like this.

[STATUS][PART NAME] <name/brand/info>

[OPEN] [Keycap] Cherry mx Thick PBT keycaps

Sorry if this has already be mentioned before or if I have placed this in the wrong section.
Thank you for taking your time to read this post :)

Welcome!

The post SpAmRaY linked is actually pinned at the top of the Group Buy forum, and it's updated frequently by the moderation team. If you see anything that's missing or inaccurate, please post about it in the thread and we'll add it as soon as we can.

Just for reference, thread starters are able to change the topic of their thread by editing their first post. New posts made in a thread will default to using the new title as well, although replies to posts using the previous title may also use the previous title.

Thanks for your feedback, and we hope to see you around!

Thank you for the replies!

For some reason I have never noticed the post that are sticked until you told me. Will definitely be using that from now on! :)

And not that long ago (or was it?) we had someone complaining that there were too many stickies :))
