Filling In Your My Cars Section

[Silent1]

I've already posted this in GG, but i thought it might get viewed a bit more in here:

There's quite a lot of people on here without anything in their car section of their profile, this being a car website it makes it a bit dull when you want to read about someones car to find they don't list it.

So i made a short how-to to fill it in.

Go to:
Edit Your Profile

• Then on the left about half way down, click My Cars

• Then on the bottom right, click ADD car

• Fill in as many details as you can

• Add a URL to a photo of your car, or a stock photo if you don't have any photos, i suggest TinyPic to host your photos as it's idiot proof and doesn't require you to sign up.

• Then click ok

• You can then go back and fill in costs, like servicing etc, for example i've filled them in for my MINI Cooper S and my VX220

Et Voila, you are now actively contributing to PH being a nice place

If you made the car ownership able to be hidden except to people on his my mates list that might work.

One thing that would be really appreciated is on the Big Blue skin is having a shortcut directly to My Cars, maybe next to the RSS Feed or the My Mates Button.

Agreed there are quite a few functions missing from Big Blue, links to the member search would be useful too.

Both of those can be reached in two clicks via either the 'My Profile' or 'My Mates' links, but we will bear it in mind and try to add them when we next update these areas.

Do you know what, I've never clicked "my profile", always click on my username at the top right so never realised that they go to different places.

They used to go to the same place, until i and a few others asked that one went to edit your profile and one to view it

Noticing a lot more profiles filled in now, hopefully some of the less clued up people will see my how-to for it

Thanks mr will!
