Title: New Profile Layout/Contents - What do people think
Post by: les.tansey on 26 December 2010, 21:41
I was thinking we could make the profiles a bit like a facebook/bebo sort of layout so you can:

 - Post comments on each others page about there cars etc...
 - You could have like a tagline/status of what you've been upto with your golf - as not everyone has dub project threads
 - you could have like what car you drive and its spec, upgrades you've made etc...
 - you could have a for sale section of what each member has for sale if at all
 - although were all friends on here i suppose you could have a friend section aswell
 - You could upload pics and have a profile pics etc...

I don't know really just a thought, I know most of or all of these features are available on the forum anyway but could be alright

Could be a new forum addition for the new year, I don't know


What do peolpe think

Regards, Les. :smiley:

Plus there is already a section on here to post pics of your car in each mark group, there's a section to post pics of yourself, there's a section to post what you have done to your car today and there's a very good for sale section. It's all already here if you take a look around.

a lot of those requests would be covered by a move to different forum software, invision for example, as used by e38. it's something i have been thinking about, expanding the social angle etc, just takes a bit of doing!

o'right sweet, is it definate?

To cut it short, was just thinking we could have our profile pages with a layout style such as bebo/facebook with some pf the relevant features they have.

Cheers, Les.

yeah, sorry i messed you about with that, I bought a size too big to give it some le-way to shrink to the right size after my mum washes it but it seems you are much more generous with material than I expected :tongue:

Thanks, all the best, Les.

I see where your going with this and it could work..but i don't like that idea!  :grin:

In principle that's a good idea, but majority of that would get abused..

 - Post comments on each others page about there cars etc... PM Function
 - You could have like a tagline/status of what you've been upto with your golf - as not everyone has dub project threads...Make a Dub Projects Thread
 - you could have like what car you drive and its spec, upgrades you've made etc... Signature
 - you could have a for sale section of what each member has for sale if at all...Classifieds (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?board=67.0)
 - although were all friends on here i suppose you could have a friend section aswell...Really? lol!
 - You could upload pics and have a profile pics etc Avatar or This (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=38289.0)

That's the whole reason i deleted my FaceBook lol!

tbh this is the most usable forum I know... its not cluttered and is easy to post replies etc

I have tried lots of other forums, edition, DW, caddy2k etc and I always give up or don't post much as they are so difficult to navigate

Really its because we are so used to it that it becomes second nature.

Spot on, this has to be one of the easiest most usable forums to use.

Fair enough, on second thoughts - it probs ain't the right thing to do

We fear change.  Change is bad.



Thats true actually why didn't I think of that :tongue:

Looks like its a bad idea then..

cheers for opinions either-way

Cheers, Les..
