Wheel Whore Woes

Post by NafemanNathan » Fri Dec 28, 2012 10:58 pm

Is it just for unregistered users or is the classified ads on Wheel Whores jobby?!...

http://www.wheel-whores.com/classifieds ... .php?cat=4

It's a forum dedicated to wheels, yet when searching the classifieds there's absolutely no way to specify diameter, width, offset or PCD etc! You can't even say "No I don't want to see which wheels are sold already!" :facepalm: Just seems ridiculous for a facility dedicated to the sale of wheels :roll:

You can obviously put a description in the advanced search, but unless you match whatever the seller wrote in the title or description perfectly it won't find it :x

Actually, typing a string of words into a search will return results of any post containing all of those words at some point, in any order.

It's only if you encase the search in quotes is when it will match the exact phrase.

But yes, their search is crap if it doesn't offer that facility to registered users either.

Yeah that's kind of what I meant, I just didn't explain it at all well :lol:

That search box rodeo jobby is annoying.

You'd think googling "goat saliva amylase percentage" would give you a decent result. Maybe I can find it on Wheel Whores?

It's probably pointless, because according to my well-established prejudice, those that are into Rimz have NFI what any of the numbers mean, or their importance. Might as well simply rate wikidness on a scale of thumb to thumb.

:lol:

I don't know, the majority of them get so close the point of impracticality that it can't just be coincidence ;-)
