Why have you chosen NOT to include the information field that contains what model we ride in the upper left corner of message posts ??

<<<< The information over here.

I think that would be really helpful.
Most other forums I frequent are set up that way.

The information is usually available, but takes more of a look. To see about a particular poster just click on their name, a menu with four choices will pop up. There is an "about me" which usually gives all the information that the poster wishes to share with the site. Other places include pictures, or signature descriptions. It's all about what the person wishes to share.

Agree...

:agree: the avatar on the left is a picture only. If you share the model etc you best do it in the signature otherwise follow steps above...:thumbup:

I know all of that......and it does not change my question in the least.

And...it does not change my answer. :thumbup:

Easy Rider. you might get a faster answer, without the flack, if you sent a message to Lamont, since he is the one in charge. I've only been a member here a little over a year now, and this is the first time this subject has come up. Maybe you are the only one who finds this important.

I reckon it's much easier just to put your info in your signature. That way people know what you ride and what particular mods you have done to your Spyder.

I assume the forum is based on an off-the-shelf software and can only be customized to a certain extent. I don't know if that is something that can be modified or not, but I'm sure there's a cost associated with each mod. I've never heard this request before, either. Lamonster would be the one to make the proposal to.

Given that other sites using the same software have it that way, I assumed that it was possible.

And given the title of this sub-forum, I assumed that the owner/operator would be responding to questions like this. But it appears that I might be wrong on that one.

I don't know that a response to this question would be at the top of my priority list if I was overseeing this forum, Easy Rider.......especially since you can show this info elsewhere on your profile info.

Next you will want to make it mandatory to put it there.

Yes you are absolutely right.

And this comment coming from someone who does NOT choose to show her ride in the signature either......like a lot of folks it seems.

I wonder how many people on here don't realize what a "signature" even IS ??

 

[Bob Denman]

You are trying very hard to make a "mountain out of a molehill..."
By having the info in your signature line: it gives folks a chance to personalize things a bit...

I am doing no such thing.
I am making a simple, serious suggestion.

Note how many people do NOT show anything (or anything useful) in their sig.
Also note that having the ride information displayed with the avatar in NO WAY prevents you from customizing your signature.

Seems to me like it is YOU who is turning this into an unnecessary argument.

If you really want to help the discussion along, how about telling me exactly how I contact the admin./owners here.......since they don't seem to be monitoring their "support" forum ??

 

[Bob Denman]

:shocked: Wow...
Not to flip out the "newbie" card on you, but how long have you been in here?
(and I already know the answer...)
Give yourself a little time in here, and you'll see that Lamont has it all pretty well figured out...

 

[PrairieSpyder]

Easy Rider, have you even tried to contact the forum's administrator with your request?

Well yes. I thought making a post HERE would be a good way to do that.
Guess that idea was wrong.

Then I asked if someone would give me Lamont's username; that didn't work either.

I just now sent a comment to the "administrator" and it said that it was sent to the "webmaster".
I have no way of knowing if Lamont is the one who will get it or not.

Lamont's handle here is Lamonster. I think the admin link goes to him too.

 

[ARtraveler]

I am guessing the administrator (Lamont) has received your request as you surely sent it through "channels."

The site has been around a long time and things change slow once they are deemed to be "good."

As mentioned earlier, members usually post what they are willing to share with others. I am one who probably shares "to much."

There are a lot of "one hit wonders" who have a particular rant or issue they want to get off their chests. They go through the "minimum" to get on the site...and then we don't hear from them any more. Others have a lot of the information that you are requesting.

It will be interesting if the "rules" get changed... but that will be up to the administrator. You have definitely done your part and made your request known. :thumbup:

It does... :thumbup:
Or at least it should. :shocked:
But on the off-chance that it doesn't: the other fellow who keeps an eye on this stuff would definitely forward it right to him. nojoke
