How would you make FerrariChat.com better?

and it's a quote from Rob replying to Dave

 

I somehow missed that reply. Thanks for that. I'll just shut my trap about the IMG tags.

lol didn't even notice

 

So, forget that, let's move on to Quick Replies. Pretty please with a cherry on top?

 

How about a Travel thread in the Lifestyle section?

 

How about sub forums for modified Ferrari and race cars?

How about letting original posters moderate their own threads?
-Being able to delete(but not edit) posts that the OP may find to be inappropriate, or unnecessary.

Is there a way to re-read sent PM's?

 

Yes there is.

When you go to your Private Messages, you will see how much you have used, under that, there is a drop down menu that says Jump to Folder:, click that and make the Inbox go to Sent.

That's about it. You should see your PMs below.

 

You should allow larger images to be hosted then. I have amazing photos I took at the Canadian Grand Prix this year but I can't post them because I can't use img tags to link to where I have them hosted, and the system you have doesn't allow for large enough images to do them any justice.

 

Here's my tuppence worth! (and I'm trying to express this with a certain amount of Tongue in cheek!)
Tidy the forum up.. eg: go into many sections and you will see individual threads, often, with the title..
Thinking of buying a 458
Went and test drove a 458
Sold my left kidney to fund 458
What colour 458 should I get
Ordered my 458
Waiting for my 458
What's the current value of a 458 should I sell my order
My 458 arrives next week
Here's some pics of my 458 at the dealers
My 458 arrives tomorrow
Here's some pics of my 458 being delivered
My 458 arrived with 20miles on it, WHO'S BEEN DRIVING IT?
I have driven my 458 for 3 miles and I'm now worried about it's resale value
Washed and polished my 458 and parked it in the garage, here's some pics.
Went for a drive in my 458 this morning and it's now done 59 miles, what's it worth?
Noticed a stone chip on my 458, will it affect it's value?
Took my wife out in the 458 for the 1st time this morning, she likes it so I took some pictures
Went and met some F-chatters for a Coffee this morning talked about depeciation of my 458
Noticed my car has 99 miles on it, needs a service or should I sell?

OK.. They all seem a bit pedantic but if you look at the forum without rosso corsa coloured glasses on that's what you see!
Look in the Lamborghini Chat section and there's a thread for each model and that's it!
In the Ferrari model specific sections just have single threads for single events!
My new 458 thread.
Driving your 458, post pics here. Thread.
458 depreciation thread.
458 service costs thread.
Why didn't I get a fire extinguisher installed in my 458 thread.

Ok, I know a forum of this size takes some looking after but it's not helped by members starting threads everytime they have something to say.. Is it not better to have one individual thread where owners can eulogise over their purchase than a lot of White noise of threads recounting members every individual thought.. It sometimes seems as though some members are so desperate to be noticed/recognised.
What happening is that all the real important stuff/threads is being diluted because of the sheer quantity of 1 or 2 page threads of meaningless dross.

 

Maybe a first step is to relabel "Architecture, Design and Visual Arts" to include a reference to Real Estate/Home Improvement.

 

I've said it before, but.........it sure would be nice to have 'previous thread/next thread' at the top of the page also. It seems to be a given on other sites I visit.

 

Thats still really low to give these shots any justice I feel.

Just tell me that this doesn't look stunning at the resolution its at, which is reduced quite a bit from what it came out of my camera.

At 300k it wouldn't look so great. You wouldn't get the rippling from the heat.

 

I know what you are saying.. and its your forum!

my thoughts were just that when i hit the new posts search facility i get 5 or 6 pages of the same stuff... it there was a "458 Random discussion thread" and then a "458 new arrivals thread" then it would condense it all down an awful lot.. sometimes theres an awful lot of, dare i say it, dross in there..

yes condensed threads would take some reading after a few days away from the place and yes there is some tooing and throwing trying to catch up..

Its just my bit of utopia but i suppose the logistical issues of policing, constantly tweaking and moving threads in the place precludes that!

 

Skimming the Beating Procrastination thread I saw Wax's offer to "temp-ban" folks at their request.

It got me thinking that a self-ban feature would be useful for me. There have been many hours (and days) that I've lost to FChat when I should have spent at least part of the time doing other things. Fortunately I finished college before I discovered FChat!

So what about a self-ban/hibernate account feature in selectable 24 hour increments?

 

That USED to be called "self discipline"

LOL!!

Thank you for your support!

 

Perhaps its been brought up elsewhere, but when people post a topic about a part, a repair, a fix for something, it may be helpful for people to be able to put in certain key words somewhere that allows an easier search for that topic? Add an option at the bottom of the post for people to add those search terms.

 

I've seen this in other online forums...the ability to view all of the images in a thread rather than click through the pages to see them. Not sure if that is an option on VB.
