rtbiscuit Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 this was muted a while ago, i can;t remember if it was via PM or in a thread, but i had a look and couldn't find it. is this still going to be a possiblity, it was a function i loved on other clubs where you had your own garage on the forum, and you could list all your mods and info, even put pics up etc, made searching for mods easy, made showing others easy. and could even link to sellers off it. was a great way of tracking what you did or had done etc. *** ADDED*** Following Chris's reply about 8 replies down, there is now a vote for a garage function on the forum; for ideas of what it might look like please check out the following examples, i'll add to them as i find them http://www.r32oc.com/garage.php http://www.mr2roc.org/phpBB3/garage.php ... 433bedd3eb http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/vbpicgallery.php http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/garage/ http://www.nissanownersclub.net/viewforum.php?f=69 http://www.skyline-owners-club.com/forums/garage.php http://www.outlawjapclub.co.uk/forum/garage.php if you would like this function please vote Yes, if we get enough votes, then the powers that be, may put it in to action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown7758 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 now that does sound like an awesome idea would make things alot easier when you see someone's car and would like to know how they got it that way.. and as RT said, your own build progress is something alot of people are really proud of so somewhere to show it off would be great.. worth looking into to be IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Mcgoo Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I miss this from when I was active on the Supra forum. As above, it was very handy and was a place to show off mods and pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Doesn't my350z.com have the garage function. Never had a good look as I was trawling through endless other posts, but it would be a fab idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 We did look into it and I think we even found and installed a mod for it but it was highly unstable. We since havent found a stable mod for this software that can do it. We've looked at moving forum software, but its a hell of a lot of effort for not a lot of gain. Put it to a poll and gain critical mass and it will get the powers that be attention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 although that r32oc example is cack, looks dull, boring and confusing. alright princess, i've added a couple more, the only issue is that alot of the good ones you cant see unless you are a member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brown7758 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 just thinking Mr Biscuit, if you put all the ones people have uploaded on your post, may be better to compare and then when most are inspected decide (as another poll) what layout looks best.. ive edited an earlier post with a few and like both the Skyline OC and Ford OC's ones.. i think this would add a great dimension to the Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 already on it robin as a side note, does it not say alot that so many other clubs offer this function and we don't? the FTO org have it, but you need to be a member to view. and i'm sure there are more.

rtbiscuit Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 the mr2 forum is the best example in my eyes, the amount of options it gives you cures alot of the issue we have with people asking stuff sbout insurers costds, and garage reviews http://www.mr2roc.org/phpBB3/garage.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 http://www.garaget.org/lillnicke I like above layout, no clue who that is in the example btw. It's a bit more of a blog page for the user though and not a 'garage' per say. I like that you can vote and post a few comments etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 the othe advantage is that the mr2 garage is phpBB3 which is the same as our forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Absolutely not. For the gains you get for the first 5 mins of excitedness, you lose an incredible amount of stability on the forum and the amount of forums I've seen hacked that had a garage mod you wouldn't believe. ROC was done twice, IMOC was done too, and I know the guys who ran both sites at the time and they're no fools. Not worth the risk IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Don't care either way. If you're looking for ideas, the 300zx club over in Kiwiland has one. http://www.300zx.co.nz/phpBB2/garage.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
