jft69z Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 We have added a new section in your profile to include what type of Monte you own, broken down by year, engine size, transmission, SS454, 72 Custom, etc. Also included is the option for none, and Other (LS, 5-Speed, etc). Many times someone asks for help on something, and fail to list the year, engine size, etc. This may help eliminate the added step of first asking for the info, when trying to answer someone's request. You will also be able to select multiple vehicles for those of you that own more than one (or 7, or 8 like Willie). This is only going to show up if someone selects your profile to look at, so it didn't clutter up the main forum posts in general. In the past when we added another field, a few people were asked to complete their profile, or something like that. No worries, you can either complete the fields, or click through it. I think if you scroll down that box a little, you'll see the new fields to choose from though. Any questions or suggestions (good, bad, ugly, not needed), please don't hesitate to say something. Joe T EDIT: It even asked me to complete the profile, lol. All I did was click what car I had, hit 'Next' and done. This happened to a few, when we added the 'Veteran' status a while back as well.. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to add more, try it and see how it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 Here's a quick picture of where to go, if you want to edit your profile. I used the phone screen shot of Willie's profile as an example, but on a laptop/PC it's the same principle. Click the edit symbol, next window pops up, select your vehicles, and save. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC1of80 Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I thought my account was hacked! It wouldn't let me log in to see this post or any post. Luckily I was with my brother and asked if his phone had the same thing and it did, so I answered. Lol Ummmmm no option for tributes/clones. For those that have them. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably should have warned people first, but a lot of members don't log in as frequent as we do, so they'd get it down the road. When I added the 'Veteran' tag, most people didn't get the pop-up. I think it's because I did make it a required field for new registrations, it carried over. I tried to make this one just for new registrations, unchecked it elsewhere, but it apparently doesn't play that way. Once we get past it, it'll be nice info to have moving forward. I can add a clone/tribute category if you want. People could manually add that in their info spots too though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jft69z Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 So, after talking with Tom F., I'll add a "Tribute/Clone" selection box near the bottom of the list of choices. I'm not sure if it'll trigger the message to complete your registration again, so I'll hold off for a couple of days before adding it. This may give people a little time to possibly expect it, before it happens. If there are any other suggestions to add to the list, let me know soon. Thanks, Joe T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
