Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Forum Help and Information forum suggestions

I think the site would benefit from a photo gallery. I know there are a million post on bobbed fenders for instance. So how bout a photogallery where you can see the pics. Etc etc

At most I think we'd just be willing to add a "sticky post" to the customs forum for bobbed fenders (and/or other themes). We don't want to start adding forums willy nilly.

Ideally, someday, we'll have a photopost type gallery module for such a thing.

how bout a real time live chat

No.

a service manual page?

There is a lot of information or links to information in the Tech Vault. Actually hosting a copy of the service manual here is probably copyright infringement and not a good idea. But it does exist electronically and there are several members that could probably send you a copy.

ok then how about a photo uploader? being that someone asked.

You're really not paying attention, are you.

sorry

No worries. I just wasn't sure if you were messing with me or not.

That's a great idea. I'm not sure if it happens to anyone else but the "search function" is hit or miss at best, for me anyway.

This is an idea. in the classified section after something is confirmed as sold removing the post, but add a section for transaction rating. So some one could say hey I bought the doodad from Joe and I got it in good order, and am happy with said doodad. Or Joe you scmuck this thing is not a doodad its thingamoebob, and a tangled up mess to boot.
Or some kind of thing like that. Maybe its a good idea maybe not.

You can add your comments about the sale/transaction already. Most guys/gals post if their item is sold and there is now the 30 day purge.

Regardless, there's no way to implement that.

What you're talking about is reputation management. There might be some sort of plugin for the forum software that does it but it wouldn't be limited to classified ad transactions. And with such a small tight knit community I foresee it causing more problems than it would solve.

I mean, really, what problem are we trying to solve here?

I just tought it would be interesting to to be able to see the transactions of those dealing on here. You could bolster those who do well, and easlily see those who don't. I thought it may add to the trading fun on here.
I was a little tipsy last night, and may have not been as clear as I thought

I still think out would do more harm than good. As soon as someone got a bad rating the sh!t would hit the fan.

yea your probably right

I agree with John. I think transactions between members here go wrong very few times. I have had nothing but good dealings with members here except that 1 vendor. In many cases we trade or donate things when a member is in need too.I remember a certain member couldn't make payments on his bike and was going to lose it and members took a collection and he was able to keep his bike. Haven't heard from him in a while now so not sure if he is still around or not.

yeah, that dude came back on here and listed his bike for sale after the forum members paid for a good chunk of it

That's not the same guy whose "house burned down" is it?

Which guy was that? I'm drawing a blank.

Maybe someday, how about getting the forum hooked up with Tapatalk.

Someday, perhaps, if there's a plugin available for this forum software.

Ah yes. That was entertaining.

That was certainly an interesting read. What a scammer! He was still stickin to his story after he was caught out. Unbelievable. I think he mighta had couple roos loose in the top paddock if you know what I mean. mmm I guess you dont. How about a couple of cans short of a six pack?

The simple fact is that if it was a misunderstanding, i.e. wrong pictures the "second" time, it's easily fixed and then Biker would have egg on HIS face. As it happened, it was seriously sketchy.

sounds like the kinda guy who is cruisin for a bruisin.
