AULRO

[incisor]

Okay boys and girls.

looking for insight...

what is it you all would like to see added to AULRO

previous polls indicate that the Forums are the most popular feature.

what is it that you think would make the system more popular or increase the post rate.. (bearing in mind i can not vastly change the look or feel of the system)

spill your beans ....

G'day Incisor,
For my money it's just about right. I like to read the forum because that's where I get answers to the problems that I haven't had yet but probably will next week. I'm not as organised as Zorba who keeps all the good info on file. I need to be able to find it when I'm caught by surprise, and my Rangie does that to me often.
An archive would be excellent. I realise there's already a knowledge base on the web, but I personally find the individual responses from owners like myself to be far more supportive when problems occur.
The gallery is also great, and I'd post photos if I had any. (Why don't we see photos of the owners ... why is it only their vehicles?)
We've had a couple of false starts with this site, but if we can keep it going this time I'm sure it'll grow to meet your expectations.
Rgds
Kevin

Perhaps a technical page on the forum to keep tichnical "I need help fixing this" topics seperate to ther discussions.

Maybe a few more rescource files. What is there is great bus it could be expanded.

cya Tr https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

at the top of the gallerys page where you have just uploaded pics, click on add new sub folder

then click into that folder and upload pictures by clicking add photos.

once you create your folder you can change the permission so only you casn add to that folder if you wish.

[tracker]

thanks.

[bigbugga]

The layout and the forums work well.
But lack of input make's for a slow site.
There are a lot of members who have never posted.
Even if they just introduced them selves then it would help.

Something like that new topic that just went up :wink: :roll:

G'day Guys,

Can we try to make sure people fill out their Profiles fully.

There's nothing worst than telling someone how good a garage is in Sydney and then you find out they live on the Gold Coast!!!

[Pedro_The_Swift]

Hey bigbugga,
dont you know most landy owners are the shy retiring type?

[bigbugga]

Damm, maybe I have the wrong brand of car then. :?:

I stand out in a crowd ( stand above them to be honest) https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Am normally one of the loudest in a room.
and will speak my mind on a lot of things to anyone who will stand still long enough to listen. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

They should all stand tall and be proud of their cars.
I know I am :twisted:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

bigbugga,
I have a mate ( no- really! ) who is 6'2 and he literally cant see out of my disco from the drivers seat,, has put him right off upgrading to a Disco.
How do you get on?

[bigbugga]

I have never had a problem with it.
Heeps of head room and shoulder room as well.
I was 6'2" last time I checked, or maybe a bit more.
This is me with a few friend's
Next to us is a 100series Tojo

http://www.aulro.com/albums/album10/KALtrip.jpg

Look closley,,, I am hiding behind those other's :twisted:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

got a group discount on the sunnies I see,,,, :wink:

[bigbugga]

HEHEHE...they were free for us.

We were on our way down the bottom of the super pit in Kalgoorlie.
Had to ware all the saftey equipment.

[TSR]

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ Mate they must have had a "Fire Sale" on down at the local council , it's nice to see that a family that plays together , dresses together ha ha ha ha

[bigbugga]

OK just to clear up a little bit of confusion here.

I am the rather large gent at the back and my son is standing in frount of me.
On the left side of the photo is my girlfriend and her sister is on the other side.

I understand that because we have all dressed the same it might be hard to see me at all, :twisted:

[landrovermick]

Guys is there a chance you can either add a field to the title of the reccomended suppliers that would make the state manditory, or is there a way you blokes can sort them into state by state/web based suppliers?

Its a bit of a mess down there and would be lots easier if people put the area they are talking about in the title....

just an idea

Guys thanks for the congrats, I just hope i can keep up the standard held by the other Mods on the forum.

So here goes -

How would everyone like to see the the Recommended suppliers forum sorted, I was thinking state by state with a special one for web based / overseas suppliers ?

thoughts and comments ?

Mick

PS would help if everyone when posting added the state or city to the heading for easier sorting .

Anything which makes it easier to follow gets my vote. Matt

[VladTepes]

Mick - that sounds like a plan.

Dunno if it's too complicated but how about

State
- Metro
- Regional

and as you say a seperate web based and o/s one.

I'd like there to be a page where all the suppliers have an icon linked to their website. Sorted by state would be good but not a deal breaker.

gee talk about bringing up old threads:o Some of the posters on it are no longer here:)

It's always interesting when these old threads get revived.. I get to see names I never knew existed! Ace and his huge advert.. Regular poster, but not where I've been!! Never seen him before! :)

Hey Weeds... you keep digging up threads this old, I'm going to change "Swaggie" under you forum name to "Archaeologist' or 'Historian' ! :D:D

Sitec, there was a time many moons ago that Ace was like punctuation.... he was everywhere :D Just look at his post count and think how quite he has been while you've been here ;)

Mrs. HH... you are right lots on memories in names in here!

I do wonder what happened to Bigbugga..... he had a lot to do with helping the place in early days...nice fella.

[Fifth Columnist]

In an age when forums of all subjects are giving way to farcebook and twitter this one strides on strongly.
You must be doing it right, don't change it.
If you must change, reduce the number of subjects rather than increase them. This would concentrate the attention of the readers and make searches easier.
