Default Just a thought

So, I was thinking... seeing as how this is the suggestion area thingy.

Would it be possible to have a section in the "photo gallery & project log" that a person could post their finished project?

Like OMB has a before and after, another forum has a place to post the finished product for everyone to see.

I think it would be nice to see what people have made, and what karts/bikes/buggys/whatever they are working on or finished in one place, rather than having to look through a boat load of posts...

Now, I know under the Community tab thingy there is a link "Pictures & Albums, but it only shows the recently added? Unless there is a way to view it all I dont know about?

well... I do agree that a finished is good, but seeing the progress is also awesome. Hmm. Anyone else got some thoughts?

I thought it would be neat, all the goods in one place for people to just look and drool.. or maybe get some ideas for what they want to build. I know I like to look at what people have, even factory karts.

Ive looked through Blazkowiz(sp?) kart website gallery plenty of times just to look haha.

BM's idea could work along with your concerns Robert. Why dont we have the user put a before and after pic in, and then a link to the thread. That way people like BM can see the before and after, And you, Robert, can click on the link and view the progress. Afair compromise?

on the home page you might be able to have a slide show going as soon as you got there just like there is now with the fab pics but maybe you could have a way to click on it and view all of the finished products
all without having to be a member
I don't know if that makes sense or even if it is possible but... just my two cents

Wait I'm confused..can't you just make your own album and title it Finished Projects? And Robert is right it's cool to see all the work too.

Maybe just make a "Finished Projects" sticky and us users can add photos and links to our project threads?

I like the idea of seeing some of you guy's projects before and after. Although I'm pretty sure if you were to do the slide show thing it wouldn't allow Mac/Apple/iPhone users to view your site. At least I'm pretty sure that's why those websites hate my iPhone. I just got here. Please don't send me packing yet.
