Great idea in need of tweeks , Aug 26, 2009
Review written by Robert Bates - see all my reviews (1)

First, the good news. It's a brilliant idea that could really enhance RB classified ads.

The script does a FANTASTIC job rendering an individual ad. It maintains the continuity of the ad on the left while displaying full-size images on the right. It's perfect!

Unfortunately, I immediately uninstalled it because I was unable to scan ads. I found no way to adjust image size with the script, and it displays full-size images for all the pictures in every add.

A "simple" tweak would make this a 5-star script! Rather than displaying the full-size picture with every ad, display the thumbnails in a line under the ad link. The CL preview scripts offer a great model for how it would look. RB already created thumbnails too.

=============

Edit:
Since there are some things I LOVE about this script, I found a way to make it useful. Using the Greasmonkey "Manage User Scripts" function, I edited the URL in the "included pages" box to:
http://classifieds.myredbook.com/classified.php...*
This maintains the fantastic layout of individual ads without cluttering the main menu.

For those who want to see all the full-sized pictures for all their "favorites", add this URL
