    Attention Nhtoc Staff

    We REALLY need a gallery. Our links back to world and online don't work as they are blocked. Picturetrail only lasts so long...

    If storage is the issue, let me know and I will send you guys a HUGE hard drive on my nickel...

    If it is something else, let us know and I'm sure other users will step in and try to accomodate you guys.

    In order for this to be the only or primary site, we need galleries... Every time we link to a photo off site, or thread that contains a photo offsite, it encourages the user to find what they are looking for elsewhere...

    Get that gallery up and let people link back to it from elsewhere and that will drive people HERE instead... Do like world did -- stamp it with a "courtesy of National Harley Truck Owners Club www.nhtoc.com"


    I know it is supposed to be coming for paid members, but I'd suggest making it available for all members -- or at least those that have reached 50+ posts or something to keep trolls from posting stuff...

    Thanks!

    Ken

    The logistics of a gallery are being worked on as we speak. However there is no time frame for the completion of it.

    This is a priority on my todo list, both for here and the NLOC.

    cool,i'm sure it will be well worth the wait.

    any chance i could make a few suggestions? just so we can have the best possible gallery out there

    1st one is any chance the website can be setup kinda like ftw, so the address would be www.nhtoc.com/harley356 or something like that so we can tell people our galleries easier and not have like "1509ulfmlsrt820u85tnl;askdnlaihroi4wr.com" LoL.

    2nd one, not just 3 albums like f150online, but multiple ones like ftw? it just makes the pics more organized instead of 500 pics in one album, 50 pics in 10 albums. LoL.

    3rd one, a place to list your mods? kinda like ftw galleries again, and this should save on sig space since you can just put your mods at your gallery and don't have to list them in your sig.

    Just a few idea's i thought would be pretty cool, i like the copywrite idea too, that way if people see the pic, they'll know the site it came from.

    Josh,

    A lot of your suggestions have already been considered. I basically went to many sites with galleries, and took notes on what I liked and what I didn't like, things that worked and things that didn't.

    In the beginning the galleries will be for NHTOC members only. This may eventually change, but that has not been an item of discussion.

    Any other ideas/suggestions will be considered.

    I've written a Gallery with MANY options. If you want I can give you the code. Its written in PHP and uses a MYSQL database. Just like the forums do.
    I can give you the link to take a look at it as well and let me know if you are interested or not.
    Ain't nothing to it but to do it!

    I think it should be for paid members only. If not you will end up with people using our sit just for storage.

    I speak from experience. There was time that I kept pics posted on a certain site because I was to lazy to set up an account at picturetrail...

    Click it ^

    I agree, keep it for paying club members only. Just adds another incentive for joining i think. and maybe not make them so you can't cross link? like f150online used to be?

    Just thought of 2 other things that would be neat.

    again, modeling off ftw (LoL, the 2 things i like about that site....the gallery's to an extent, and the profile) it would be cool if when we do have galleries up, they could automatically be linked under our screen name with our NHTOC# and Locatoin and post count and all that.

    And maybe as another addition to the profile, make a choice thing in your user cp to pick "2000 HD-F150" "2001 HD-F150" "2002 HD-F150" or "2003 HD-F150" as which vehicle you have, and it can show up under your screen name (maybe use that text as a link to the galleries eventually?)

    just a few ideas :bo:
