Our biggest compaint and downfall is a Regional search. Mike as you can probably appreciate is our Mustang owners have regional forums and would LOVE to have a way to search the classifieds by region.

I was thinking if I could name an extra field 'Region' then create my own Drop Down select list in the uploadproduct.php for the given extra field, then when an ad is submitted they would choose their region. Then if the extra field is searchable by URL string, I could make direct links from the Forums to the regional search in the Classifieds.

If extra fields could be setup as to allow us to choose the options that a user has, would make it easier for all to do, but I imagine it could be done manually as long as the extra field is a. searchable and b.URLquery.

Thanks for any input!

Cheers
Mike
