There's been absolutely no interest in this project , ..........there's been no replies to this post except from the founder of the project, Geoff & Jude ......thanks Geoff. I take it that we're not interested Personally, I think its a great idea . ....Why ....the forum is a nightmare to find members details, .......there's sooo much stuff posted on the forum, ........and alot of it in no particular order making it difficult to find out who is who, and what vintage caravan they own. The member profiles give a clear reference point for our members, .........some pics of their project or caravan or car & caravan......and it compliments our location maps nicely . www.vintagecaravans.com/member-profiles.htmThe extent of personal info you want posted is optional, ......your privacy is protected via your profile only having your forum name, ......your christian name is optional, .........your location only has to be your suburb and state, or city if you prefer (Melbourne instead of Chelsea) I'm going to add my mobi No to mine...... never know it may lead to a V V lead I've negotiated with PC Madness to do these profiles 10 at a time for $100 ....thats 10 bucks a shot !! .......pretty cheap really for the services of professional web page designers . The forum will have a couple of links to the profiles so that they're easy to find for new users, and existing users.Perhaps Geoff could back me up here, and entice members to take an interest, otherwise we'll just scrap the project . www.vintagecaravans.com/member-profiles.htmMark

I reckon this is a great idea for member profiles and happy to have our details added if it goes ahead, the cost is minimal for having your moment of 'fame' on the www and it would certainly make finding those with a like interest easier I should think. We are heading off for several weeks holiday to Canada, hopefully finding a few old vans to look at too. There will be a backlog of posts to sift through on return so I'll have to try and remember where to look this thread up and see what's happening. George

hi mark happy to back you up on this one - i reckon it's a great way to easily access members' finished vans without having to slog our way through pages and pages of information that accumulates in the members' photo albums. the photo albums are great if we're looking to see what was involved in the build and what others comments were, but the profile of the finished vans will be fantastic when we're showing friends etc what the outcomes of the vintage caravan movement are. a great way to show a "glimpse" of our fantastic hobby, all on an individual members page, without spending excessive time trying to find the photos in 35 pages of "members photo album". for example, our van, (Roadmaster - Geoff & Judes 16' van) is lost on page 11 in members' photo album with 4 pages of info on the resto - very difficult to find now and containing some unnecessary info when showing friends, but the finished van can be easily found in the members profile (Geoff & Jude - 1965 Roadmaster Luxury Liner). and mark, having a link to the profiles from the forum home page is an excellent idea. (maybe we could include a link from the profile back to the photo album for those who want to look more closely at the rebuild info.) geoff 'n jude

Well that's cleared it up a bit for me , I was thinking you would have to have a finished van , count me in, can have a pic of my Safetee Minor as was with a link to the project page for those that want to see or follow the rebuild, much easier for the public to go to one page and see what we are about.

hi humpyboy when the idea of member profiles was first suggested, it was to show finished vans without any extended commentary apart from a brief pictorial description of the van and the members basic profile. the description was to include up to 6 photos, principally 1 before photo, 1 or 2 outside after photos, 2 or 3 inside after photos and maybe one of the towcar or towcar/van combination - but not to include any progressive/construction photos. the intention is to show the public a brief pictorial representation of what we do to old vans. (please refer to the 2 sample profiles to see the suggested content/layout of a member profile.) because the profile is to be administered by an "outside i.t. provider", there will probably be no facility to update or add to the original profile submitted, so one photo of anyone's van before the resto without any photos of the finished van may not be appropriate to the original intention of the profile. please note: as the originator of the idea, these are my thoughts only and mark may or may not agree with what i have said here.if you have more than 1 van, an additional profile can be added for each additional van. geoff 'n jude

G'day Geoff, Would it be alright to have a Member's Profile if your van is nearly finished, but you just can't get that last bit to stay in place?... Better save me some megabytes...could be awhile for me yet. Al.

gooday al don't forget the profiles are also for salvaged, unrestored vans currently in use. maybe that little treasure could fit into that category. the megabytes are being allocated, so it shouldn't be long before the first 10 profiles are sent off for publishing. the rush should start pretty soon now that the work week is over, we've had a look in our pay packets and there's a lazy $10 sitting there ready to be used. better do it now, after the elections next week $10 might not go quite as far as it does this week. geoff 'n jude
