Just wondering how many times you have wondered what i'm wondering? lately i have noticed many of us have an album of our ride pix but there is no info posting your album name or any direct link for us to easily acces the pics. i would think if we improved this loophole we would have much more use and enjoyment from the albums. example; why not have an info line posting the album name right there where we already have the region info, join date info, # of posts info? even if it were not a link and just an album name i think it would be very helpful. i even went to member list page and noticed there is no column there with any info about an album, i was one of those who had an album but it did not match my user name so if someone wanted to see my ride pix, they had no way of knowing where to look unless they wanted to maybe search through every generation?! i have also tried to check out pics of others here and only been frustrated to not be able to find any pics even though i know they are here somewhere. has this happened to you and do you think there is a need for improvement or am i missing something? please answer the poll, and Thank You

Since the gallery program is not part of vBulletin but rather a bridge between it and the forum software there is no easy improvement. Basically, it's what you see is what you get. If a user does not bother to name their album or at least their photos then there is no way of searching or sorting queries. If a user wishes, they can post a link to their album or photos in their signatures.

Or does it only show on a new posts that has been posted after I have started to use it?

...no... So where's the problem? I have a signature and when I edit it, preview shows it, but it doesn't show up on my posts?

After you edit your sig and save it
Go back to the User CP page then go to Edit Options and click it open
Scroll down to the third box Thread Display Options
put check mark in the options you want, scroll to bottom, click save, your done.

Lemmy I fixed your signature. There should be a spot when you post that says "Show your signature" there should be a check mark there. And it should start showing up.

Thanks guys! Seems to be working now. And Just got news that my El Camino has arrived and waits for a custom inspectors visit, that she can be decleared and they can determinate taxes and what not. :nanawrench:

Congratulations, Lemmy! The wait is about over - but if she is registered as a truck, do I understand that she's limited to 80 kph? What a BUMMER!!! That's just idle speed for a '70 El Camino. Check and see if there's a "Cruck" category - If so, the speed should be limited only by common sense and the open road............Ken :beer:

yeah, we have this silly 80kph for trucks, so that you can't import a vehicle with cheaper taxes and enjoy full benefits. I have already talk to my importer that I want her as a normal car, not as a truck. I'll pay little more taxes, but then again I can enjoy my El Camino fully.
