I notice there are 1000 members, phew, would it be possible to make a new forum called pictures?
Could it be done in such a way that the pictures are seen as soon as you go in (so you can scroll through) and by clicking on the picture takes you to the message part for comments? members could edit their links and keep them up to date?

I wonder how many of those members are still active as the DVLA says there are only 596 33s left in the country. There can't be 400 Minari, camper van and kit car owners here Exclamation

I've seen Pauls figures for myself Sad

........... There's a bit of rarity growing in the 33 and i'd guess many members have left the fold.

Oh yeh, lets not forget that alot of other 'members' are only trying to sell mortgages, drugs and Kittens!!

Something like this only inside forum?

That is reason why there was no pic forum Smile

yer, that would do, but if we got rid of all the gumph and only had larger pictures with a number above or below the picture that related to the users membership number. Once you clicked the first picture you’re taken inside where it shows details of the owner and mods to the car, all this can be managed by the member, so no one has to manage it.
If you modified our avatar to say our member number it would be easy to quickly look at someone’s car, or if you click on someone’s avatar it takes you to their pictures, if they have put a link to any.
You could either do it so its like a different forum, as in after you go into look at the pictures one could post comments.
What do you guys and girls think?

I'd like to see a picture lounge as described, not sure how much work it would be for the admin though.

Only 8 votes!! come on people, surely you want to see all those other 33's?
Once its all set up it will be maintained by the member, now i dont do web pages but everything is in place.
setup a new forum, put up a simular page to the current pic gallery with a few layout changes, link members avatar to a space, if they want to participate, member then adds links to their pictures elsewhere on the web like facebook or picture bucket, one of these links is then put up as a thumbnail for pic gallery.

Hi

A straight forum gallery would be easy (maybe a forum for pics with replies disabled). Doing it properly would be a load of work unless I could find an existing phpBB mod for it.

All the best

what about making a sticky, with the subject of Gallery and only post pictures with owners comments, any other comments get deleted?
How does that sound admin??

Hi

Having had to do some hacking around with phpBB for work I have figured out that some of it is easier than I thought.

So when I get a chance I might knock up a gallery. Probably do it by granting people permissions after a few posts (maybe open it to anyone with more than 50 posts).

All the best

Keith

on the 155 forum we have a members garage section, although each topic is locked, so the forum doesnt fill up with long threads, which with any forum always go off topic, so maybe worth incorperating that.

On the oldschool.co.nz forum they also have a members cars section - it's just a normal forum area like this but the rules are you make only one thread about your car and nobody else is allowed to post in it.
Here's mine: http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=10533

What does 'notion' mean?!
I apologise for my limited brain capacity. Sad

I had actually realised as soon as I'd posted it, but left it up for one reason - Where are all these 500+ owners?
It would be interesting to see how many members have created more than 10 posts over the past year.
