Hi Everybody!
In about 6 weeks VTT will be a year old! We are going to celebrate by asking you all what would improve the board, what might need to be gone, new categories and suggestions.
Keep in mind we have a Lot of categories, so some might need to be removed to make room for new ones.
One I will add is SPAM, to keep our members up to date. That will include the actual Spam itself, ideas to limit it and how to protect one's content.
Here are some things we might want to discuss:
1. Adding/deleting categories 2. Features we might want to enable. (NomadicMe will be able to direct us here) 3. Privacy and PMs 4. Links section 5. Anything else?

Thank you Vikx for starting this wonderful forum to bring us all together. I love the forum and the people who post and share. I wish that the hundreds of guests who visit everyday would register and post. Going to give some thought to suggestions although it's pretty awesome as it stands.

I would like it if you could click on peoples profile photo and it would link you to a few photos of their trailer, or even a bigger photo. Not sure if it is possible, but as a newby I am always wanting to see everything bigger and more. Also, I don't know if you have this as a category, but if you could have an actual section where there is a map that shows little pin dots where members are located, that would be cool..

Thank you Lamacki. We try.
LadyW, I like the idea of photo links. NomadicMe may chime in about that. I believe it's up to individual members to post links and am not sure it could be done just by clicking on a person's profile. Posting links certainly could be encouraged, tho.
Mobil always has available links. We love him for that! LOL.
We did try the map but it ended up backfiring. Gonekayaking kindly did all the work on a Google location map. However, anyone who could log in could move locations and add/subtract members. We all decided that is was too public and too easy to edit to remain. (need I mention we had complaints?)
That being said, if we could have a restricted access map with anyone who wanted their location known pinned, it would be acceptable.
Great that you both posted so soon!

Personally I don't have any complaints,I enjoy reading all the post by different members and appreciate everyone's willingness to help with encouragement and advice,,I especially like the lack of drama that is so prevalent on many internet sites.
Good folks all around.
All in all you have created a great site for like minded individuals. Danny

Danny, go to the home page and look at the very bottom. Can you see who is online? I know it tells you how many members are online.

Hi ladywendolyn, It can probably be done but each member would have to have a photo or gallery to link to. Currently there are those that do have galleries that have them linked in their signature. I'll look into it further to see what I can come up with. A afterthought,it would be cool if there was a icon to show if a fellow member was online. Danny Hi Danny, I had this showing on the Simple theme but overlooked adding it to the default; have it sorted now. Shows " Member is Online" or " Currently Offline". It isn't an icon but can be if you and others would prefer. ETA: Note that if a member has set their privacy settings to be invisible, they will appear offline.

Okay, I think I have it sorted. Members can go to Profile > Edit Profile > Personal (tab), scroll to bottom to Trailer Pic or Gallery URL and input the image URL or site URL then click Save Personal Settings. Members that have a URL listed there will have a clickable avatar that opens to the URL put in. NOTE: URLs must start with http:// to work properly. My avatar is setup with an image link so feel free to click away.

Also, if you want your location known, you can edit your profile to reflect that...

LOL, I'd like to make a suggestion on mobiltec's behalf. Under our screen names there is a status title based on number of posts. I'm proud to say mine is "FULL MEMBER" and I will have to limit my posts to keep it that way. I sure don't want to be tagged like mobiltec as an "ELDER MEMBER"! Maybe change to senior member, silver member, wise member, or honored member. (sorry, just joking, I couldn't resist LOL) Thankx again Vikx for starting this forum when our beloved Vintage Shasta forum was melting down.
