i've updated the Members VIN number page to be more "user friendly".
this is the beginning of a major overhaul in how we're going to collect and maintain the members VIN list.

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=memberVINs


when i'm done with it, you'll be able to:

- add as many VIN's to your accounts as you want
- edit/delete your VINs
- add comments to your VINs
- add VINs of crushed/parted out/dead cars
- add comments to *other* members VINs (clearly marked as non-owner comments)
- search & sort using various criterias

Does this new format extract the data from the individual control panels Andy? How come none of my 3 cars shows up on this new list...?

yes, there is ...

the display comes out of the new database structure i created to support the additional functionality ...

the "old" system is still in place on the signup page and in the members profile page.
once i got all the new functionality built, it'll all go into the new system.

i do have an "update" script that (for now) i have to run manually ...

PS: as my first post suggest, this is "work in progress" ...

No, don't take it down. A few little problems to iron out is all. Probably about time to urge people to update their profile. Perhaps nail a thread for a while to encourage people to check and update the profile. There are lots of VIN's that are incorrect in some way, perhaps if they are not valid numbers, they don't get posted in the regular lists but in a 'junk' list. That way people are inclined to correct the data.

yepp, that's all on the list. i'm already filtering out a lot of "junk", what i haven't done yet is to filter out obvious problems with the range, like for example:

4762961159 baycountrymotor
4762961159 dhopkins

i seriously doubt there were 61159 914s made in '76 ...
