Bodywork Forum (?)
This may not be GL specific enough for this site but I would be interested in bodywork info. As my car is now I am sandblasting the chassis. Any concerns that I have here as I overhaul and uprate the front and rear suspension I should be able to have addressed through the forums dealing with suspension. The body is presently sitting on giant sawhorses. I need to replace the heater channels and deal with some rust and dents. I also want to prep it properly for a paint colour change. This is an area in which I shall have many questions. This is pretty generic VW stuff. It is, however, something that I could use some info on. Is this the right place for such a forum? Is anyone able to direct me to a site (or book) that could help? ... Thanks ...

website list
How about a page with personal webpages listed next to members names for easy access? I know they can be accessed through profiles, but it would be nice not to have to search all (38 at this moment in time) members' profiles to see if they do, in fact, have a personal page.

You can actually post this info in your profile. There is a field for it when you enter you car info.

I have some suggestions:
1. Following on with what bugsoup was saying, I think at some point we will need some sort of search for the members rides section. Its growing ever bigger. It will also get to the point where the list will get too big to display at once. 2. I think it would be better if, rather than uploading 4 pictures for the different parts of your car, if you could just upload up to 4 pictures of anything. Also, I don't really like the 'sorry no image' pictures. Just plain text would be better, if there are no images to display at all. Display the 'first' image in the list maybe. I understand there is probobly a bit more coding to do these ideas though! Otherwise germanlook.com really kicks arse! |

Already in the works !
I've begun to write the code to search the members profile pages. I will have that element up and running by the end of the week. I will also change the image uploading page so you can upload any 4 images of your ride. rock on .... Sandeep |

I know this can be posted through profiles, but it would be nice to have a centralized list of personal pages for easier access. Right now, its quite a hassle to find those profiles that have a personal page listed. |

That's strange. I was able to post as unregistered with my own screen name.

This is the only forum that allows not registered users to post.
I did this to get more feedback from people just browsing the main page and the forum. In the news and announcement forum Sandeep posted a while back to post links so that we can build up the links page. Some input would be appreciated. Alex |

Am I right in thinking that all the images for a page are loaded and their thumbnails are just generated from the main images? I prefer the separate and quick-loading thumbnails, which are much better for people with lower bandwidth..

Sandeep has or will test the speed with a 56k modem. If the galleries are going to grow a lot bigger we might have to look into having several pages for each category.

what about generating an email to the car owner when someone posts a reply to a member's ride? someone left a question for me on mine and it was days before i caught it. yes, using the recent posts link can solve this, but options are nice too.
also, what about putting a link to someone's profile page in their member's ride forum page. i.e. i was reading something on a member's ride question page and would have liked to just hit a link to pull up the specs and pics on their car instead of having to launch the section and find them.

Background changes
Chris,
I'm addressing the thumbnail issue as we speak. Zen, I understand how that could be easier for the members. I will upload all changes this weekend. Sandeep |
