Got bored.. the new classifides section I've never really liked in terms of how its laid out on the display page. Always thought it could be done a bit better, so here it is.

Think this is much better and everything is a lot clearer, but then again I would say that :)

I've tried to keep it to the same basic theme.. without going over the top with too much graphics or anything like that. Just making it nicer to read.

I *could* make it very pretty to look at with further revision, but that raises some other issues in terms of size to download, etc.

What do people think?

If the admins on here like this can cut it up into HTML and I guess a VBB template that can be used on the site. You'll have to give me a bit of time to learn how the VBB templates work, as I've mainly just worked on phpBB before.

Its all up and running after a bit of fiddling around.. looking a lot better on the display page.

There are a still a few things I want to try and put in there to tidy things up - but for the most its a big step forward I think!

i still greatly prefer the old method of for sale in the forum based, not photo post.

but Gordon here has done a top job! at least i wont cringe as much when i see the nice new template :)

As for trader rating... It requires both parties to take the time to make the trader rating, If you want to run a trader rating it should be enforced. I peddeled a dick load of stuff on these forums and my rating is 0. It doesnt worry me, but if the ratings are there, they should be enforced??

I'm not so sure about photopost myself, but I think people are gradually getting used to it. It has ups and downs like the old system... The look and layout previous definitely sucked, and I thought that could be improved.

I agree with the trader rating thing.. You will see it next to the person as a star. But as you say skyrine, nobody bothers to update it - so it is a little pointless and frustrating.. as I though that was one of the main reasons for moving towards the new section.

Hopefully if people start to use it, just PM them and request the feedback. Eventually it will catch on and like ebay, those that don't have a trader rating you'd give less trust than somebody with a much higher rating.

p.s. I have noticed my new theme doesn't work greatly with the other forum themes other than "vivid blue" and you get things like black text on the dark blue which is hard to read . I actually use the XP Luna Silver often as its a little easier on the eyes in the white, but the classifides template needs a few things changed in the style sheets to make it look a bit better under different themes. Will see what I can do.

You did a great job on the re-design,

But i'd go back to forum based in a heart beat.

The only reason why its growing on people is because you either use it, or go without.

I will continue to use photo post classified, but only because the forums based sale section is closed down. I'd really urge for the old method to be re-instated.

*these are my opinions only and count for SFA :)*

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
