Copy that and save it as a bookmark.

Thanks!

here is the default "new post" link, http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/s...ew&exclude=159

if you add in the forum numbers to the URL with commas as separators it will exclude that forum from the results. for instance, 332 is the number for Private handgun sales.

A 'Like' button for posts.

V-neck tshirts.

That or a clickable icon for thumbs up or down that show running tally on each post, reply or comment. It would be a great way to quickly leave praise or critique without having to type comments.

Firearms search by region. Perhaps I only want to search for firearms in my region, I don't want to see what is available 300 miles away. Maybe it could be by zip code or county.

Can we uncensor the word ****hole, as CNN is fine with saying it every 10 seconds?

[sorensen440]

Tacos

It would be nice if Calguns start to moderate against racist post, and maybe revert to how it was few years back. I used to love coming here to chat about whatever was trending, but lately this place feels more like a KKK forum than a place for gun owners to meet.

I would like to see the marketplace, broken down into smaller sub categories. Perhaps in the handgun market place there could be additional folders for off roster, and/or compact, sub compact etc. I being a person with specific tastes and preferences, find it annoying to thumb through all the different posts when I'm looking for specific types of hand guns firearms. I understand that could be quite a task given the limits of Bulletin, but user friendliness is paramount this day and age.

This definitely goes along with my last post

Or maybe even by your neighborhood street names?

Can you cite a thread or post which you'd define "more like a KKK forum..."?

You could combine that with neighborhood street names and give everybody else a market place with thousands of sub-forums. Apparently, some users need more "friendliness" than others, given they're persons with specific tastes and preferences...not to mention that all of us have different tastes and preferences.

V-neck tshirts.

I have a neck like a ice cream carton. Crew neck shirts dont look right on me.

Auto resizing images to fit the page.

I stopped coming here for the most part because of the toxic hostility that members like Caligula manage to repeatedly get away with. This place has gotten to be and remains really toxic for outsiders and newcomers.

It has been a lot better in the last year or so.
I suggest you try again for a while.
Use the red triangle as needed.

The old adage remains true to a certain extent:
don’t dish it out if you can’t take it.

Avoid OT and politics for a while.

Edit:
Member Caligula has not posted in almost 3 years.
I assume you are calling out member CALI-gula.

[DoctorWhy]

Please add a new category to Marketplace: "Shotguns"

Not me I hope?!? Id like to know what I said if he is referring to me.

Character limits on the Location field in your profile.

I know people like being cute, but it breaks tables all over the forum and it looks ridiculous.

You are right, my mistake in typing rapidly. CALI-Gula was whom I was referring to.

[theLBC]

a Like button would be good.

also, not removing quoted text from replies would be helpful to understand what people are replying to...

[readysetgo]

Kes! Fix the top banner!





Please.

I would like to see a search box in each individual category. Such as, once your in the handgun market place, your given the option of a search box, to narrow down the type of pistol your looking for in that market ONLY. I know that would be very helpful to us Calgun users. Thank you..

You can already select individual forums to search...check out search settings and go from there.
