Yupp, you heard that right. How about some 914world feature requests ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)

I plan on putting in some quality time over the holidays to add some new stuff to the site that i have been thinking about for a while.


So, if there's something you want to see added to the site, now is the time to speak up ...

I'll start:


- Add custom code to retrieve off-site images so they can be permanently added to the server.

- Upgrade the VIN pages to let people upload and add more images etc.

- Play with the search code and try to come up with a better search page.

- Look into making our own custom "Members Map" pages.

Thread 'tagging' so threads will gain 'off topic', 'classic', 'technical', 'funny', etc tags which could be used to customize which threads get seen on each user's computer.

Also, making the skins work throughout the site.

I suppose I should be helping with this stuff.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

How about a 914 safehouse area. That way if a teener is on a roadtrip, we have a place to tow to with repair facilities or just a safe driveway so our cars don't end up in a oakland tow yard and being sold !

Like you said- search feature improvements
-including all of site in a search, not just forums
-add searching off-site (google and the 914 custom search engine thats out there somewhere I think)
-add option to search text in first post only so some of the extra results are reduced if not part of original topic


Andy, you can't own a 914 nad not get your hands dirty...

Drag and drop photos onto posts being edited.

Auto scaling photo size as they are added to a post.

I like the tags idea. It would be cool to filter on "build threads" or "tech tips".

Already done!

Images larger than 800x600 are thumb-nailed to 800x600 where clicking on the thumbnail will show the original sized image.

We do have a size limit per post/image, which will not be removed...
I'd rather have someone complain about not being able to upload images than having to deal with 100MB sized images just because someone didn't understand how to prepare an image for a web-upload.

2 and 3 char search strings.

Abbreviated view of a post when you mouse over the title link. I've seen this on other forums.

I like the thumbnailing, I was thinking just resize the picture and store the resized picture, not the full picture. Maybe an option. Then people can drag their 6 MP photos onto a post and know they will get downsized automagically.

I like the total size restriction per post.

I think it would be cool if members' avatars could be automatically-generated thumbnails of larger images, and clicking the avatar would launch the full-sized image.

I'd love for all the old event threads to disappear from the quick drop-down navigation so I don't have to scroll past a bunch of stuff to jump between the more popular pages.
