les Posted 10, September 2006 Report Share Posted 10, September 2006 Although most of us have stock standard clios, a members rides section would be pretty cool where we can put pics of our rides, list of mods (if you are so inclined) etc. Your thoughts ?

RSC172 Posted 11, September 2006 Report Share Posted 11, September 2006 You could always just upload pics to the gallery and start a thread in 'Off Topic' for members rides, get it made sticky and we can all post away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted 11, September 2006 Author Report Share Posted 11, September 2006 I dont like using the gallery LOL but if it's too much effort, its cool ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClioF1 Posted 11, September 2006 Report Share Posted 11, September 2006 If its done by application only to the Admins surely this would spice up the front page if there was a link to member's rides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted 11, September 2006 Author Report Share Posted 11, September 2006 How cool does that sound "Member's Rides" Any particular reason why you administrateurs are so "pro gallery". No one likes to use it ! I can vouch for at least 80% of users that will use the members rides section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC172 Posted 11, September 2006 Report Share Posted 11, September 2006 I don't really like using it either but unfortunatly I'm not a website developer otherwise I'd lend a hand to make such changes.

D82 Posted 11, September 2006 Report Share Posted 11, September 2006 .. or you could just put your entire photo collection in your signature... so we can see you car every single time you post. Seems to work for a select few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted 11, September 2006 Author Report Share Posted 11, September 2006 Yeah as I said, members ride section only good for some people, not all. Not everyone could be fuked posting their ride up .. i.e. me .. but would like to see pics of other cars, in a photo bigger than the avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biologist Posted 12, September 2006 Report Share Posted 12, September 2006 Dave, wasn't there a thread somewhere where we decided sigs were ok as long as they weren't too big? As long as the sig pics are hosted offsite they are fine. I've tried to upload to the gallery but the IT people here have put a stop to uploading files through the firewall. I don't mind the "member's ride" thread idea cause the pics will be hosted offsite anyway. Only downside is some pages could take a while to load if the pics are too big. Maybe try and keep the pics under 300Kb? cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted 12, September 2006 Author Report Share Posted 12, September 2006 Well, I much rather a 10+ page of 'Member's Cars' than a 150+ page thread of bloody sightings. Editing works fine ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made a mistake. There won't be 10+ page long threads as each New Topic serves as each Member's personal rides page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D82 Posted 12, September 2006 Report Share Posted 12, September 2006 I see where you are going with it now les.. I thought you meant like a gallery page.. but a reader rides section that we just do a post for our own car would be interesting. However all you need is somebody to say "I have a blah blah blah" and somebody else goes "well wtf did you get that for" and then threadwar 2006 is on, and the individual thread gets ruined with off topic banter etc. However allowing comments would be good. Dave, wasn't there a thread somewhere where we decided sigs were ok as long as they weren't too big? My rant is here http://www.ozrenaultsport.com/forum/vie ... php?t=1557 and I think both kb and pixels should be considered (yes, I have a 700kb avatar.. and will be scrapping it) - Hows about Max. Width 650 pixels Max. Height 95kb, Max File size 100kb. Are these reasonable. I'm not the boss around here by any means.. so just a suggestion And just to prove you can fit plenty in an image that size I have included 18 frenchies (and 1/2 an Astra ) in mine (635x65) While we are going off topic, My shoelace got stuck around my accelerator on my way to work this evening. Interesting to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to say the least. HAHA .. while the car is stopped I presume .. did u look like you were trying to pleasure yourself when trying to untie it ? Though not quite as bad as having a thong (the sandal type) wedged between the accelerator and the floor .. which has happened numerous times!

biologist Posted 13, September 2006 Report Share Posted 13, September 2006 Oh, I see, sorry Les, you want a Members Ride Forum, alongside Off Topics etc. Then eveyone can post pics of their car as a single thread within that forum. Personally I'm all for it as I cannot for the life of me get the Gallery to work but essentially its the same as a Gallery. If a more easily found link to the Gallery was available from the forum page was setup and the gallery sorted out would that suit? I've tried a few times to get the gallery to work and its just stalled me every time very frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted 13, September 2006 Author Report Share Posted 13, September 2006 Tell you the truth, the Gallery is very hard to use .. given I have not tried very hard to use it, I just think it'd be easier with a Dedicated Forum - like a lot of other car forums have. Just a suggestion though !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC172 Posted 13, September 2006 Report Share Posted 13, September 2006 I've used the gallery a few times. It is hard to use but usable all the same. I'll chat with the admins and see if a dedicated 'Members Rides' section can be created. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les Posted 15, September 2006 Author Report Share Posted 15, September 2006 I say don't worry about the number of posts per thread. Really, how many comments CAN be made about a ClioSport ? They all look pretty much the same. I'd say that there would be 5 pages of replies max for someone hwo say has some decent mods done ..
