Linking to a classified ad in a forum post

[maffski]

I've just written a forum post, and wanted to include a link to a car on the classifieds.

Would it be a good idea add a button to the share icons that gave you to Pistonheads forum code - e.g. a link to the ad, with the thumbnail image and title.

This would make it easier for people to link to ads from Pistonheads, which would hopefully get those ads more views and more chance of getting sold. Should be fairly easy to do.

Good/stupid idea?

Rule 4 : http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/rules.htm

The forums would be overrun by "My car's for sale" and "Why won't this sell?" posts.

As marshalla said, it could cause issues, we are however looking into something similar
