Suggestions

[Jus Cruisin]

Just a couple of things I wish were required when registering or when making a first post.

One - location. A lot posts refer to "here". Where is here when the member doesn't Indicate where they live.

Two - signature. Just plain helpful.

We do have a thread that asks people to fill out their signature, (Thanks @mikemcfarland )

https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/a-helpfull-hint.764/

and I started a poll to see where people are from.


https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/where-we-are-located.1313/

Some people seem to not want to disclose the info of where they are from...so not sure if you could make it a requirement, @Jared B any thoughts.

We have been trying to get people to do this though.

Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe they will see the post and do just that

I moved and sticky @mikemcfarland thread, and mine about location was already there, in the new member section

 

[Blazn]

Maybe incorporating it as a subtext to the username automatically:
Blazn USA
Blazn TX
Blazn USA, TX

I personally don't have an issue with that but I wouldn't necessarily go any further than that...

I've seen other forumns with regional sections/groups. As this site gets bigger that might be a route to take.

I didn't specify my city but I do have province and country.

 

[Jus Cruisin]

I don't indicate city. For me Central Florida is enough to at least give members an idea of where here is for me. I do like Blazn's idea.

 

[Jus Cruisin]

I'm on a big Corvette forum and they have regional sections..... They are ghost towns and not worth having.

I actually thought that I had it set so location had to be put in when registering, I will look into it.

There is no way that I could prevent someone from posting without a signature but mikemcfarland did write a post about it as described above.

I appreciate the thoughts for sure.

It's already there, but you have to click the little arrow beneath the user's name to expand their details and see it. I like the 'subtext' idea as well.

The subtext would be really cool, I'm just not sure whether it is something this software can do or not.

Yeah I didn't know...in mobile mode chrome doesn't show that. I had to switch over to desktop to see it.

what can we do to improve the signature. look at mine and reply - once again , most people will NOT know to click the lower arrow. this can't be this difficult.

My sig has had all that in there since that thread...?....

Also no arrows:

 

[devildodge]

Yes I was wondering what he meant by arrow. On mobile the signatures just show up. @Jared B had addressed this earlier when we started the signature talks. I do not have desktop, so I can not check into this.

 

[mikemcfarland]

sorry guys . the arrow is under the account details? original account info under everyones (but mine) avatar.looks like it does NOT show up an a cell - only desktop.

Yep...I'm reading kelowna b.c. under yours.

On mobile you just have to hold your finger over the screen name.

I was using the signature today to make my post in the tire and loading thread. Very helpful.

But also on the member info spot, you can put the info for your truck there also.

Glad people did get on board with this. Hope more do, and others keep them updated.

Thanks

Another epiphany...my phone turn to the side shows up in mobile
