Now I feel like I paid too much ($60) for my Oakley A frames off of overstock.com. :sad:

I picked up the smith fuse regulators the first time around (pre bottomless) for about $30, then of course they had them for less bottomless. Whatever, I wouldn't have purchased if I didn't feel it was a good deal.

In looking at it, I think you should create a seperate section- the other Gear posts will be buried within a week. If you do that, is there a way to maybe lock or delete posts after a set number of days? They are irrelevent after a fairly short time since the product represented is no longer available.
Just my 2 cents.

no you do not need "longer" poles in the BC, you need adjustable poles. you need a longer pole when skinning but regular alpine ski legnth pole for actually skiing. helps for the pole to telescope really short (2-3') for climbing gullies. i will adjust a slight bit longer for steeper terrain, adjust slight bit shorter for bumps and flatter terrain. i almost never use adjustable touring poles when doing lift serviced, fixed legnth are definitely better suited for regular lift serviced.

one problem with posting bottomless sac in the forums is that the links for defunt products stays on the forum. nice idea though, i like it. it is just hard to keep track of when i load up the forums and see six S&C links.
Good info. Thanks. I'll save those adjustables for when I can enjoy the BC.

greg, the S&C posts in the forum are rather annoying. i bring up new posts and half the links are S&C. i do like the idea, but it seems too invasive in its current state. can you have the S&C posts not pull up in the new topics link?

Okay. I think I sorted it out. The SAC threads will now appear only in the Daily Gear Deals sub-forum of the Gear forum. You can choose to monitor that forum or not. I hope to add special deals from other vendors in the future. The SAC threads will lock automatically after 24 hours. I wish I could lock them after they expire, but it's not possible at this point.
Well, the first iteration of this system was screwed up as it would pulling every item in the feed each time it checked it so there were duplicates. The SAC threads should be limited to only actual new items now. The Daily Gear Deals forum is set to sort by thread start date versus last post. I'm not sure whether this default sort will also apply to the New Posts search. Hopefully, it does. I hope this works better for you.

The SAC feed link URLs seem to change randomly even though the product hasn't which causes vBulletin to think it's a new product. That still results in duplicate product threads. Working with the SAC folks to sort it out...

better now greg, thanks! theoretically, if it only posts each new item once then the threads should drop off the new post link once i have viewed new posts, which will allow me to see the updated item and then discard the thread upon revisits. i think the issue i was seeing was the duplicate pulls so i was seeing multiple listings every time i checked back. looks good!

Again, I'm working on it with SAC. The link URLs in their feeds ramdonly changes even if the product doesn't causing vBulletin to pull in duplicates. Working on it...
