Many times I'll be using the Search function to find a post that contains a link to a website that has some great information or products and I cannot find the post because the post says something like "check out this link". There's really no good way to search information within that post.

Is there any way to list the web address links within posts? That way we can at least look through them.

Lomag,
I have a suggestion for the software developers. When a link is added to a post a requireded "keyword" box should pop up after the web address and description boxes. The "keyword" box would have two parts. The first part would be for the user to chose from a standard list of keywords provided by the forum. The second part would be for the user to input a keyword that related to his post.

Then in the future members can list the keywords and choose which ones to search by.

Mayber there's a better way to access the web links within the posts so at least we get some info one way or another.



Thanks,
Jimbo

For an example of a forum that does well in organizing related links, check this out<---.

Acctually I was thinking to add a Links section to the main e60.net web site but never thought of allowing the links to be user-added, etc...

Like a bunch of links, bmw dealership sites, aftermarket sites, parts sites, other stuff. Havent gotten around to collecting links!

What I am also referring to is a method for searching for links embedded in posts. This would be very helpful.

Maybe user suggested links can PM'd to you for your review and classification.
