Build /Work in Progess area

Would somthing like that be possible? Instead of having threads in the gallery or the Type R section, have a dedicated section.

TypeRiter · 8th February 2010, 12:39

Funny, I think I requested one of these threads too..

Oh look: Here it is.. http://www.civinfo.com/forum/site-su...ar-thread.html

Great minds et al..

Under the members avator you could have members garage which is a link to the users progress. They use this on TGTT great for spying on peoples progress lol

Now to wait and see if we get one

Smurf · 9th September 2010, 21:33

How about this.

We def need a build up section on here.

people have put up different builds in different sections but it would be good to have it all in one section for people to refer to.

griffin · 9th September 2010, 21:38

does anyone read this section..lol, i put 2 up but never got a reply....think its a great idea.

HappyMan · 10th September 2010, 20:13

Thanks for the suggestion and yes we do read this section

.

I think it's a good suggestion.

Davek · 10th September 2010, 20:55

Yeah projects forum would be good it would be alot easier to track progress than having to search though loads of pages on the gallery.

Pottsy · 12th September 2010, 11:10

I think this is a good idea (and was before). Previously I thought that the solution would be to enable the "Blogs" feature on vbulletin, so owners could run their own modification progress blog. But sadly vbulletin disabled this feature on vb3, in order to make you buy vb4. vb4 is not ready, so it never happened.

So... you'll find the section under the Gallery. The mods will try and find all the threads that need moving - if after a day or two you think we've missed some it would be great if you could PM one of us with the relevant links.

I am using the following criteria for moving old threads:

1) It has to be an 8th Generation Civic.

2) There has to be at least one "update" post from the Thread Starter, so projects which are just one post followed by comments from others are not moved.

Ths · 12th September 2010, 14:42

Will the section be limited to engine modifications only, or all styling, tuning, ICE, etc?

Any "build" which includes on-going updates.

Ths · 12th September 2010, 18:57

Maybe an idea to either put correct prefixes on the threads, or if mods add what kind of project we are talking about in that thread. Seems we all use pretty similar "My poject" kinda names that make it hard to navigate the forum

Good thread title are always a help.

Prefixes are generally a good idea, but we were struggling to come up with good prefixes to use in this section as many projects are a mix of various modifications.

Any suggestions on prefixes?

I think it's a temporary situation since the forum is new. New threads should of course be started with a proper title. Maybe give some quick guidelines in a sticky like on the DIY forum?

But as a starting suggestion for prefixes, not having crosschecked with existing:

Engine
Suspension
Styling
ICE
Complete rebuild

Seeing as I seem to have started 3/4 threads everytime I've had work done is it ok if I create one thread that brings everything upto date from the start to present day?

Yes of course, or PM me the links to the threads and I can merge them if you want.

k20_ed · 12th September 2010, 21:14

I'll get cracking on a new one
