Lol there is skinny? I dont think Ive ever noticed. Youre right though, but honestly a search form is pretty simple. It could be started from scratch and made better than what they have now in a day. The big problem I imagine would be with the actual classifications already on review pages. I don't know what the backend of this site looks like so I don't know how easy it is/isnt to add/remove/change provider's classifications on their pages and old reviews.

Sorry if I haven't looked hard enough to see uf this has been suggested already.

I feel like certain search criteria, for example body type, should be gives checkbox options rather than a dropdown selection. This and a few other fields could use the functionality to support choosing multiple search tags rather than just one.

I may want to search for a thin provider, but that doesn't exclude athletic or in many cases "average" either.

Thanks for reading :)

But no harm in suggesting it again. Sometimes it takes a whole bunch of times before TER finally listens. Lol.

Yes it is a good idea. They have multiple options for height, age,  breast size, breast cup, and hair length, but for all other parameters you only have one choice and have to do multiple searches. Why not multiple selections for build, hair color, hair type, and breast appearance?

I agree, too. I mentioned check boxes in the "Toys" thread, below.  

It's not like the code doesn't exist out there. I get plenty of web surveys with the "check all that apply" forms. Coding a new database structure or even just one new data field (Toys) would be relatively easy.  

Of course, when updating any old database to a new database structure, you need to make sure that you're old data is properly ported, too. Sometimes, that can be a big problem.

TER first needs to do some careful planning, preferably with our input. (Do we really need "thin" and "skinny" and what the heck is the difference???) Will it be acceptable to users if the ability to search some old data is lost? And so on

Build: Thin or Skinny.  And other oddities.

There is another ongoing discussion on the General Board.  

I do think that the biggest problem is porting the old data and structure to a new system. I think we just have to bite the bullet and accept that some info will be inaccessible or incomplete (but not necessarily lost!).  

There are 1.2 million reviews and not a single one of them has a data field entry for "toys". If looking for toys, will they all get skipped over? Or should they be included as "Don't Know" or maybe "Don't Know - Predates database revision"? And so on.  

There might be a rough patch, but I think it's worth making big changes (check boxes, included)
