I'm sure that some of you, if not all of you have just clicked on the title to see some photos of an event, sorry to dissappoint you, but i was just thinking that it would be great if there was a section of the forum just for events photos. I'm sure like many of you i am a member of various other forums, although to be fair this is the one i lurk in most. But on some other forums i get on they have a section just for events photos. This i find is much easier than scrolling through various threads on the General Board looking for photos of events that people have attended. I find this to be a very long winded affair, mainly because i get sidetracked by something else completely, and end up spending hours reading stuff rather than looking at some fantastic photos of an event that someone has attended. I have no idea how difficult it would be to put in such a section, but it was just an idea i had in my head and i wondered what other people thought.
By the way, if there already is such a section and i've somehow missed it, please point me in the right direction...

Yeah but no but... Personally speaking I'd miss out on all of the event photos if that happened cause I might not go there.
Also, how would you differentiate between photos of an event you'd attended and one you hadn't. And what if they're not your photos?
The General Board is such a nice catch-all - I love going there and getting a nice surprise. Just my opinion of course.
Maybe we can start using a tag like the [pics] one where we put [event] in the title and you can search for it to filter the results?

I appreciate what you're saying, and to be honest the people who do put [pics] or [event] in their subject title i do look out for, and you're right, it is a good catch-all a bit like delving into a large box of automotive quality street, you never know what you'll find. Well Mr.pistonpopper, hopefully you don´t expect HoTWire or other staff members to search and shift all those existing pic threads into a new category? So, would you be willing to use THIS VERY thread as a kind of register for already existing or upcoming picture threads? In a nutshell Mr. ElWoody, no i wouldn't expect any of the staff members to search and shift all the existing picture threads, if a new category was created like i was talking about called event photos or something i think most people who attended events and took photos that they wanted to post would naturally post them there. A bit like anyone wishing to show off their car posts the photos in the Readers Rides section. It's just something i was thinking about because i've seen it done on other forums, and i thought that it seemed to work quite well, and as this is the forum i frequent the most i just thought that i would suggest it as an idea, and see what other people thought, clearly with only 116 views, and only yourself and Mr. EmDee answering my post i'm guessing that as far as ideas go, this was not one of my finest! btw: there is already something like you describe in the RR wiki - nearly empty, maybe because hardly anybody takes notice? As for this, i had absolutely no idea what was in there until today, i can see what you mean by hardly anybody taking notice. But this might well be because of the category title, i mean i've often looked at it and thought, well there will be nothing i want to look at in there, lets just head straight to the main forum where all the action is! After now having a quick look i notice that theres quite a bit of information thats worth looking at, which i would never have looked at before you made your comment. |

Reading this today, I hope I did not sound as if I wanted to tell you what´s wrong or right or what to do. I´m certainly not in such position and hope you did not get me totally wrong. If so I appologize. lol, no thats cool. I just had no idea how hard it is to do, or even if people would be interested in something like that anyway. Like i said, it was just an idea in my head and i just thought i'd share it to see what others thought.  |
