I personally, don't think it's a good idea. I'm the type of shopper that impulse buys, instead of looking for somethign specific. So if alot of parts and stuff are put out in front of me on one easy to read page, it makes things easier for me, and for other "customers" like me, the AMM / AV's might gain more product sales that way.
I know there are some marketplace-specific vbulletin plugins that might help out.
I think instead of sectioning everything off, maybe implementing tagging and then you can browse by tags? It's kinda getting away from the forum system of doing things but I think they would work well together.

Not to steal anyones format, but I really like the way these guys have their vendors set up near the bottom:

It kinda looks like what we have now.. except that that forum main page is WAAAY too busy with graphics and crap. Oh and they have the vendors way at the bottom so that even at 2048x1536 I have to scroll down forever to see it.

Thanks for the recap...Well, I can tell you that's NOT what I had in mind.
The whole point is that it makes it easier to shop and BUY the parts you WANT or easily checkout what's on the market...All the while supporting our AVs and AMMs who not only help fund the site but also...ARE our aftermarket!

Yeah definitely. Keep them up near the top of the page for sure. I think if anything, the car-specific for sale forums that no one really sees should be a part of the marketplace AND their respective model's forum, if that is at all possible; a symbolic link if you will. That way, the general for sale forum can be specifically for items that are generic or non-automotive.
Yeah this forum is really active but I see a lot of duplicate forums. It's a bit off-topic since it isn't marketplace-specific but with the how-to forum, 90+% of the articles are 3rd-gen protege specific. Again, maybe the how-to forum should just have subforums for each protege generation and then all the other mazda models, and have symbolic links so that they also appear to be in the respective model's forum so that searches work better.
That probably didn't come out right because I'm really freakin tired right now.

i dont really like the idea of moving AV/AMM forum to the top of the page...i think it should still be in market place...seems like a lot of people wont see it there...but thats just me

seriously, like we have that many vendors. lol
i said the bottom of the page is where the vendors are. they have a nice little banner for each vendor. its not like we can get crazy with the layout, theres only so much you can do.
