I'm a fan of Marty/MSDS as much as anyone but we need a new cover page for the site. If not COTM then just pic a shot of a nice looking 914 and post. Please.

I also don't look at the front page much, but it's time to pass the torch.

I nominate Larry Phillips for COTM, that way the FB 914World cover can match this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) and what about much bigger avatar pictures so we can all have good sized pics of our cars for each post?

How about everybody submit a photo of their 914('s) under their personal profile (previewed by admin and flagged as "appropriate and in good taste" prior to being displayed).

Admin can then create a script to cycle through those photos and post as a cover page photo for a shorter time. This way, we all become vested in how this site turns out.

Is that do-able?

Outside of the collection of photos, the script would take 30 minutes to create, test, and deploy. To reduce complexity the admin can define a photo size and pixel resolution to ensure the main page experience is consistent.

Let me know if I can help.
