Did mine on day one! Guess some are too worried about security or something. I do find it amusing when someone ask for a shop in their area and no one knows where they are!!

Just trying to help. I know some real C5 experts here who won't even reply if there's no profile info.

When asking a question, it's a good idea to add your signature to your first post as it makes answering questions so much easier without the need for a crystal ball. Answers can be tailored according to your model/year & mods that you have.

Tick the 'Show your signature' box in 'Additional Options' when posting.

Don't add your signature to further posts as threads will become overly cluttered.

You got to love it when someone is selling something you want and they say "pick up only" will not ship, and you have no idea what city or town the seller lives in.

Filling out your profile is very important and gives other members a better idea of who you are, and what mods you have on your car!

Maybe someone can talk to a moderator and have them put a big red flag on members avatar if their profile is not filled out!

And I will also bet that their are members that do not know how to fill out their profile!

Its usually the same people who post photos of their cars and blank out their license plate. Yet they drive around every day with the plate shown in public?

I always thought blocking out the license plate was of no use also, but a while back a friend of mine had pics of his C5 online and about a month later people were calling him wanting to buy it. Seems some scammer had put it on Craigslist for ABOUT $5500 and people were getting his info, probably from Vin checks. Might be a good idea to do this after all.

Understood, but that can happen to anyone too outside. Someone can take a pic of my Vette while im in the mall and then post it up for sale.
