New Profile Layout/Contents - What do people think
« 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
 - 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

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