+1 on this.
CG mobile is so lacking in terms of features that I (like many, probably) always use the desktop version on my phone.

Default Thank you Calguns!

***THANK YOU*** I do not have many suggestions in mind as this has become a website that I visit frequently. THANK YOU for existing in a state that needs a strong community of 2A supporters. If you keep the course and make minor changes here and there, this website will be worth A LOT of money. Keep it 501-c3 tho, down to earth and rooted in quality.

It would be nice if under the General Discussion area there were EDC specific general and sub-areas for example:

General EDC Discussion (and under that, the following):

EDC Pocket Knives Discussion
EDC Flashlights Discussion
EDC Pen Discussion
EDC Key Organizers Discussion
EDC Organizers Discussion
EDC Wallets Discusion
EDC Notepads Discussion

etc. or combine some like, EDC Pen / Notepad Discussion or EDC Keys & Wallet Discussions.

There are quite a few EDC threads spread out all over the site that can probably be combined into an EDC area.

Just my $0.02 cents.
Just a minor point...what you are obviously missing is the purpose on which this website was founded. Check the top of the home page and you will see it.

Calguns.net® The Home of the California Firearms Owner's Resistance

Not sure we collectively are up for what someone needs to put in their man purse to get through the day.

Not to mention the overdoses of gun pics with watches and knives...old style crap that was boring 5 years ago.

For everything you cannot live without other than firearms, countycomm.com is the place. That's all they do.

I just did a search for “Caligula“ and your post came up. (iPhone)
IDK, try clearing your cache?

Improvements ideas.

Marketplace divided into northern and southern California zones.
Marketplace access denied to anyone under 200 posts.
Less tolerance for verbally abusive members.
Easier uploads for pictures. No having to use a third party host.

I take it the version of vBulletin used is too old to support this?

Can't speak for others, but I would be willing to donate $10 or $20 to support an upgrade.

Calguns.net apparently cannot upgrade without destroying all history of marketplace feedback from both buyers and sellers. Ewwwww.

I don't see that as a big deal, we had to start from scratch when the forum began.

Temp ban those that bump their marketplace listing with sold, instead of just editing the title.

Be nice if in the marketplace sellers would help buyers save clicking time by only adding

1. Type of gun
2. Caliber
3. Price (OBO/Firm)
4. Location

All in the post description so we dont have to click on it and scroll to see price and find location. Browsing would be much faster and people looking for a certain price range or location wont keep clicking on the same posts over and over again everytime they see that specific thing they are looking for. Thanks Calguns! I bought my first gun on here.

Up for your consideration:

In the Marketplace, create a WTB subfolder under each of the following sections, it might help bring more buyers and sellers together.
long guns
handguns
ammo
reloading
firearm parts & acc.

Then change the WTB section to WTB Non-Firearm Related Items.

This would make it easier to scroll through similar types of items.

Anyone else getting a server error (http://www.calguns.net/default/500.html) consistently from calguns.net? As of last night I'm getting one consistently when I try to go here: https://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/...play.php?f=332

This happens whether signed in or not, but does not happen if I go there in an incognito instance (Chrome).

It did not happen if I sign out and clear all calguns.net site data from my browser. But as soon as I sign in again, boom...500 error. Thas was until I unsubscribed from that marketplace form, cleared site data, stayed on the offending page, signed in from there, went back from the 500 error, and cleared site data again. Looks after jumping through all these hoops, the problem has gone away for now (and I don't dare subscribe to that forum for now.)

I take it back...the problem still exists. If I'm signed in, I just can't go to the calguns marketplace handguns forum. The site fails with a 500 error

Is it just me or does everyone in order to leave feedback, have to put something in what should be the optional field?
“ Additional comments:
Visible to buyer, seller
and staff only “
I get an error message and cannot submit feedback unless I put something/anything in that field.

So my suggestion would be: If it affects everyone, Change That. The easier it is to leave feedback, the more people will do so.

<<< Full Disclosure - My feedback hasn’t hit double digits yet and some of those I feel like I had to beg someone to do it. >>>

Why not eliminate all the old adds and the ones that are sold. I have been trying to answer some of the adds and all it says is that the add is 300, 400 and some times even longer. Please eliminate the old adds and the ones that are sold. Thanks, stan.cunningham44@yahoo.com

Suggestion: When someone is added to an ignore list, the ingoree gets a notification. Yes, it's petty, but it feels good, like getting the last word. And maybe if that member gets a bunch they might get the message that they are too douchey for their own good.

If the ad is deleted, the iTrader ratings are lost.
That would annoy many here.

There are some positives there, but also likely the ignoree will get butthurt and retaliate. Ignore for peace of mind, not to send a message.

At the bottom of all pages, there is a “Top” that takes us back up instantly. Can we also get a “Bottom” selector up top to take us instantly to the bottom of the page?

Quite often, we want to go to the most recent posts.

Would like to see the PM sent items folder added to the quick link drop down box for ease of access.

Also would appreciate an option to receive a "PM read" acknowledgement option when sending a PM.

Default Expired Certificate of Legitimacy

How about if someone updates the site certificate so my browser doesn’t freak out every time I try to visit the site? Apparently the certificate expired one day ago.

There must be a glitch because isn’t that the kind of thing you don’t let expire? Not with 17 different electronic reminder calendars on every phone, tablet, PC, device...

With the constant crackdown of Gun related content on YouTube, it would be a good idea to allow embedding of videos from Bit Chute and Rumble.
