Several of you have asked about having a section where you could post pictures of your car and/or describe all the awesome specs about your car. Maybe even the trials and tribulations that you've gone through to make your car what it is etc. Technically there is a place each and every one of us can post a picture or pictures of their car and include a complete list of what makes their car their car.

Hover the cursor over your avatar/name box near the top right side of the page (it's the blue box), when the box drops down click on "Profile Page", below the blue box where it reads "Post Content" is another selection that reads "Post to this Wall". Click on "Post to this Wall" and a content box opens up that reads "Create Wall Post". Give the post any title you want. For Instance Will Hesch could title his post "Will Hesch - White Cloud" and in the dialog box you could list all of the attributes of White Cloud. You could add as many photos as you want. I made a sample post last night and checked it this morning and I could still edit/delete the post. This is nice because a standard forum post can only be edited for up to one hour. You can delete posts until @Theron closes the forum (I think). 

Anyone could click on your avatar or do a member search and when you're on the member's profile page go to your/their "Wall Posts" and read/see what you've written/posted. I posted a sample on my profile page. Give it a look and see if it'll fit your needs. If not maybe we can convince Theron to make some adjustments.

 

If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much space!

Well done, Robert. You didn't tell us too much about your car, though...

I plan to Al. I was doing Beta testing and didn't have much time. LOL

I was too excited to tell everyone. That and I had to leave early this morning to help my son move. He's studying at San Jose State University which is a few hours away. His other apt had mold so we moved him today. I'm looking forward to using the Wall Post section. I hope everyone tries it out.

That's apparently because RobertM is a gun owner and wears a kilt (at least from his profile avatar).   

All I did was go to my profile page and click on "post to your wall" or something like that.  Once there, it provides a window for adding text (my car description) and photos, although it it only allows three photos.  Not a lot, but I'm OK with that.  I also have to mess around with it to figure out how to edit stuff later on, but, so far, I'm OK with the results.

Once all that is done, the description shows up in my profile and below the description the 3 photos show up, too.

Before this, I had no idea.....

I will say that this site software allows much more (and does much more) than I had previously thought.  It's kind of like Microsquash WORD - most of us only use less than 10% of what it is capable of.  The rest of the functions are mostly used by professionals (which I ain't).

@Gordon Nichols

That is correct Gordon. I am a gun owner and a kilt wearer. I shoot in several different competitive shooting events every month and when i compete I wear a kilt. I shoot in USPSA, IDPA, 3-Gun, and US Steel Challenge.

To edit a post on your wall go to the post you want to edit and open it. On the right side of the page is a box that reads "Manage Wall Post". Click on that and you can edit/delete that post.

I went to my sample post and managed to get more than that Gordon. The photo dialog box said I had the same 100mb capacity as a regular post. 

So I went to your Member Page and you posted those photos on the wall of your profile page. That is why you had a three photo limit. Move to the right where the "Wall" tab is and open that and make a post on your "Wall". That will give you the ability to add more photos.

Here's a link to your "Wall":
