I was expecting the actual garage

[jasonmx5]

I dig it. Good resource to get a better feel for who the folks are (or at least what they drive) when you chat with them (every day??!?! - don't tell my boss or wife) via the forum.

Good stuff!

Great, but how do we add to it? Maybe I'm having a DUH day, but I've scrutinized the obvious places where one might hope to find the "Add to the garage" button.
Wasn't apparent to me...

Oh, wait... UserCP.

having trouble uploading pics. first car would not load pics, second car loaded pics just fine.
how cum?

The system fairly easy to use. I do agree it could be a little easier to find where to enter info, garage, etc. but it is a nice feature.

Question, are we able to (as of now) load an excel file if we have created a build sheet or restoration list? This would be a nice feature that could show people exactly what has been done to the car. I have a file that I would like to load but no place to load it. Do you think this would be a good idea or an easy thing to do?

Thoughts? Keep it up!!!

Are these heated garages for the guys back east?

Thanks for the PM... I spent the whole day tunning my "Garage" up. My head is spinning and my wife is about to kill me, her fault anyway... as posted in my Garage History.

It's great and I log in at about # 5 (behind someone who happen to have 8 cars in his garage...) and it's seem to really taking off.

The only minor problem that I encounter, is in the Advance Search;
because the way the car are ID by the users, especially in the 911 group, some SC are register as 911SC while other are register as 911 SC (I was tempted to put mine under 911 Super Carrera but did not want to start another never ending thread), so when you do an Advance Search, depending if you put a space between 991 and SC or not, you are loosing some of them.

Maybe in the Advance Search it should be limited to Model leader i.e. 911 and you would see all of them no matter how the user list his specific model.

I encourage all Poster not only to Park you car in the Garage but also copy the URL into your signature block (see below... after my photos that I shamelessly display at any occasion.

Cheers

Its growing fast.

Free Bump; I noticed that in the 1st 12 pages, some of the photos shows as X (and the same for all of them on the rest of the pages) but the Garage details as well as the Photo Caption are still there.

OK, now I want no one else to join that has a user name earlier than mine in the alphabet as I am front center on page one now..

[Wayne 962]

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I will forward this link to the people who created this plug-in for the forums.

Our Photo Gallery has about 4000+ entries and photos in it, I will be converting it today over to this new garage format.

Thx,

Cool idea, I'll give it a shot too!

Help please!

I clicked on "user cp", but can't find anything having to do do with the "garage" Anybody willing to do a step by step for those of us who can barely tie their shoes!

Sorry about that, I turned it off for a few hours while I was importing all of the profiles from our Owner's Gallery. It's there now!
