Show and Tell thread idea
Posted: Thu Sep 19, 2019 9:38 pm
Hey everyone, I've got an idea for the Show and Tell thread. Not sure how hard it would be to do but here goes. Is it possible to have the Show and Tell thread broke up into geographic regions or start a new sub forum under implants for said regions.
Something like:
southern states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee), mountain states (Washington, Oregon, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico), plains states (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri), northern states (Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, Washington, DC, West Virginia, Wisconsin), northeastern states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania), Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada.
This way instead of going through 34 pages and hundreds of posts to find someone in our area for a show and tell we can automatically narrow it down to at least a region and make searching much easier. I'm already implanted and love it but I was looking through the show and tell thread before I was implanted to see if there was someone local willing to show and tell and to be honest I just got tired of trying to search and find someone. This is the way it is done on motorcycle board I'm on for "rides and meetings" and it works awesome. I know there is the search feature in the current thread but that won't catch everyone if they only put the city or two letter state abbreviation. What do you all think? Might make it a little more user friendly.
