Can we

Have the car jpg at the top of the forum be selectable by member, or have it rotate?

Just curious.
 
I suppose that's possible, I'll have to check that out. I'm trying to keep the software as stock as possible (without custom code) so upgrades in the future won't break things.

That's a good route too. No worries either way.
 
I would agree with both of you. I like Kevin's approach to simplicity on here and not a cluttered site like every other. Kevin has already talked about ads and ease of use, while trying to keep the top header clean.

With that said, I'm all for making this site comfortable while adding ownership for all. I would very much like to see some nice pictures rotate through of members cars how ever we can fit them in.

Maybe on the side boarder in a square, that rotates through saved pictures linked to a folder where we can save members car PICs.

Just a thought on how to use vacant space appropriately in keeping with the clean look.
 
Well at least you picked one of the best years for the photo at the top. Love those 67's.
I added some code to change the top image and it's working for the most part, just trying to iron out some bugs.... if we can get it working we can display members cars and have it display random....

How about feature a different member's car each month.

I liked both of your ideas so I added some code to change the header image randomly. Right now there are only 2 images, so if you click on the image at the top (may take a few clicks), but it should change the image.

Both images are almost the same with one image being the original site image and the other image is one of my working images that I made the background transparent (1 image has a transparent background, and the other shows color on the sides of the car)

With some testing last night, one member was getting 2 images in the header at the same time. Is anyone else experiencing that?

The idea is to have members give us an picture of their car and it will go into an array so everyone who provides a picture, their car will be displayed randomly each time the page is refreshed.
 
I just noticed the change this morning. In the pictures I'm seeing there is one picture of my car and three identical pictures of another car in the same set. Another one had my car and a different car with two identical pictures of the other car in the same set.

I just changed it because in the web app it didn't display properly, so we are down to just 1 car displaying at a time.... if you click on the photo, it should change... it just selects a photo at random, so it could pick the same photo twice, but it will change as you click on it.
 
Yes, the picture that you chose of my car is the one I like the most myself. If you click thru the pictures I see four different cars so far as you rotate thru them.
