Hi guys and gals,
We are in need of some new content for the main BUGA web page so we are inviting anyone and everyone to help out.
Does anyone have any ideas about what we should have on there?
I've had a few ideas about things we could have on there but I have never had the time to sit down and write the articles. I'm actually not very good at writing anyway so this puts me off.
Some of the ideas I have had are:
Van of the month.
We could have a small article about a members van and the exciting work they have been doing to it.
Meet and greets.
We could have a quick description of the meet and greets that have been planed.
We could also have an article on past meet and greets with photos etc
I'm pretty sure I had more ideas, but I think think of them at the moment ???
Anyway, would anyone be interested in helping out with this? I'm sure with the amount of talented people on here that we should be able to put together some interesting content.
Thanks

Strez,
One of my favourite features on my Yamaha IT forum is the Google Member Map.
I have members from all over the world but I still can't figure a few things out...
Why are there only a few IT's in Western Australia?
(http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s74/leathermo/Australia.jpg)
Why are there none in Central America?

It is a wonderful little piece of software...

I'm not really sure that I understand? Please explain? :-\
-
Oh, I see ;D
-
Jock that Google Map looks great. How do you fill in the locations of members?
-
Well for the lazy buggers I do it for them. Upon registration they must select a country and once I
get the email saying they have registered, if they haven't already done so I ask them where they
are located. I then go into their forum profile and update their location info and out them on the map.
For the organised and a litte more computer savvy they can do it quite easily themselves by going into
their forum profile and changing the info in there.
I usually have to do it as most of my members aren't the best with computers. In saying that they navigate the
forum easily enough and post images without drama.
It is a great tool to have on the forum. I use it all the time.

You can zoom in and make the map a satelite image aswel. You can pin point it down to your actual house - if you want.
-

Because you haven't selected your proper location?
-
the river is a stones throw from me, after my break up with the missus I moved back to my parents for a bit. will need to get a place soon to hold 2 vans and motorbike
-
quick question,
should the pointer be set to where the van is located or the driver lives?
unfortunatly over the past four months there has been all most 1000k's difference, I do miss her dearly.

You just put the marker where you feel comfortable.

gday im not sure about the front page but heres one for your link page its a great site.it would probably pay to let them know the old bugga site link on there link page could be updated to this one .cheers http://www.bedford-cf.co.uk/

Come on guys, Someone must have a little bit of spare time to write something for the front page.
-
enlarge the gallery photos on the home page or put 6 or 8 blocks on and run random photos through them...
-
fantastic idea craig:)
-
I can have as many pictures there as you like and as big as you like, but they wont extend to the centre of the page, they'll just make the page wider.
-
hey craig we have not done lost van for a fair while.. maybe we should put up lost vans on the main page or something, 1 a week or something..
just an idea
ben
-
great idea IM hooking scanner up today so ill be starting up the polls and stuff again.
-
The front page does need something more, but I dont have enough imagination to suggest anything. >:(
I really like the photos on the right shame they cant but spread over the whole page, but all the same should be left there
I like the van and bedford logo on the flyer so they should figure somewhere.
To fill the rest up how about a van picture by Nigzy, perhaps the one originally suggested for the tshirt. I prefer standard van looks but this is to many peoples taste and it would make a good change.

Hey what about a feature "van of the month" it could be a completed van or near completed, or it could be a project van.
put up the main pic on the front page and then link that to a few more pics and a bit of a blurb on the van, maybe with an owner profile, with the owners permission of course.
It would entice people to spend more time looking around the site, visiting the gallery etc.
The cool thing about doing this is that people then understand you dont have to have some hot looking finnished show van to be involved.
Anyway just a thought.
Cheers

Westy
Under "profile" click "look and layout preferences" then "Show most recent posts at the top"
this wont fix all the issues, but it will put the messages in either order depending on your preference
cheers
