I know on a few other forums, there is a way to see if other members are online rather than sifting through the horde of names at the bottom of the list. Honda-tech for example just says "online" or "offline" under the persons name. Would this be easy to implement? Or even just a small green dot for online, and a red for offline? Just an idea.

Also, when buying or selling things, I REALLY wish there was an easy way to look up a persons selling reputation. Could this be put in each persons profile, and when a transaction is completed, each party rate the other and leave a small blurb about it in their profile so when someone else wants to deal with either party, they could click their name and see the feedback? This would help A LOT to cut down on scamming and bad sellers/buyers.

^ See that lightbulb next to your name?? If it's yellow, you are on. However, it can be disabled for privacy, so not a sure bet.

 

Ahh, no way. Well, then my other idea! Haha

Yup..

that's the way to tell.. light on.. online.. light off..offline.. (but there is a way to disable that when you initially login).

 

Thoughts on seller feedback then?

There isn't one right now, just the bad seller feedback thread (which is long-winded to be honest).
Filters I use whenever I purchase something

*must be a member
*must have someone vouch for them
*must provide photos
*must provide contact information

and of course, some common sense... if you think a deal to get a "brand new in box Mugen exhaust for $500" sounds too good to be true.. that's because it probably is..
