Hey, does anyone think it would be a good idea to have a 'My system' drop down?

A lot of people don't put their system in their sig for various reasons. It eats up space and whatnot... but in a lot of threads when people ask for help, they need to be asked what their system includes.

I think it would be cool for everyone to be able list their system without having to have it show up in everyone's faces in their sig line. It would be much more organized, everything would be categorized and what not...

example:
systemspecs.png


then here is how you enter stuff in:
systemdetail.png

what do you think?

    That would be just dandy.

    Is there a way to actually do it within the CP forum system?
    Sounds good to me...

    You can do that, just post a link to your system showcase...I used to do it and it works great.

    But that's not really a "dropdown" just a hyperlink.

    (not to say it's not a perfectly good way to show your system)

    The showcase is broken.

    I cannot claim to have any experience with vBullitin, but I believe drop downs are possible, so I can't imagine why this wouldn't be.

    I guess the difference is that a newbie can be asked to enter his/her system, or it could even be an optional step in registration, with ease. I've never done a system showcase, but just thinking about it makes me think of having to take pictures and this and that... just another level of difficulty. Having it this way would mean that everyone could easily and uniformly list their system specs. NOt to mention the ease of which people could look through your system for possible weak links/problems.. or just for fun....lol and this >>

    FIX the showcase and note you do not need to add pictures. You can just list your gear.

    It's a good idea, but we are having a hard enough time getting folks to fix the broken things like showcase and feedback system...much less add something new to the site.
