OK, It was yesterday. How long do I have to look at that notice even if it is once a day?
With the high Tec programmers they can't remove the notice after I entered my car info?

I am disappointed that links don't lead to larger (full-size) pictures. I don't see real value without them.

There is a full-size picture section to this forum (though it takes formal submissions + a wait to get pictures in), but that's still better. BTW: I've never posted a large pic to the pic section because of the wait. Not sure why that matters though.

The garage seems like a collection of links to each person's profile page. If I want profile info, I'll click on a person's profile. If I want good pics, I still won't go to the garage. Add a link to large pic and I'd find it way more interesting. Otherwise, I may not go back.

I also agree the garage msg should be hidden, a menu bar option, removed after access, or something else.

Hmmmm....verrrrry interrrrresting....

OK...I went back and tried it again.

There's an edit/delete/add photos option under Your Garage where it has your vehicle, nickname, updated and those options I already mentioned. Clicking on the "add photos" link takes me to my Albums. The only link on that page is something called "Add Album." Clicking that takes me to a page with two white boxes with the heading Title: and the second one "Description: (BB Code is not allowed). Also an option for Album type Public or Private. No provision for searching for a photo let alone a way to upload it.

Any help coming from the creators of this Garage section? I like the concept...and would like to take part.

Great idea, but not quite yet ready for prime time.
Did my "whipple whipper" yesterday and I am having the same problem. Uploaded a pic but it doesn't show up.

Need to sort out the teething problems................

Are you attempting to upload more pictures when this occurs?

Oh - I recall this issue, its not an issue with the garage, but with the vbulletin albums and a seperate plugin that is used on Corvette Forum (vbseo)

It uses the default forum galleries, and I don't think they have a "sort order" arrangement within them. Sorry.

I like it, it was easy to use. I think it should be seperate from the albums, since it is suppose to be different.

Cool idea but I have successfully uploaded pics but they cannot be seen when clicked on. PM me to discuss.

Thanks for the effort.

Still having problems but it's not a big deal. The pictures load correctly but when you click on them they don't always come up. There's a warning to contact an admin.

Oh well.

Thanks. I didn't realize I had to click on avatar pic, then again on pic in "garage". (For most people, this means clicking on the same pic twice before you get to the full-sized pic.)
