*** Featured rig added to front page & others ***

[Steve St.Laurent]

I added a feature today that I think you guys will really like. On the front page and most of the others (where it could be done) I've added a featured rig. Each day at midnight (server time) the server will choose a picture at random out of the reader's rigs section and put it up there for the day. Your name, a link to your gallery, and buttons to send you either a private message or to view your profile are also shown. We have to turn on a flag whether a particular picture is in the pool to be choosed from or not that way miscellaneous pictures (like graphs, interior shots, etc) aren't shown. We will go periodically go through the new submissions and sort them out. I just finished going through the ~3000 pictures in the database and sorted all of those. Enjoy and good luck on getting chosen!

Steve's already the "Piers" of websites IMHO.



I had to look to make sure it wasn't Rob Thomas' truck today, then I'd have think something was fishy around here. Don't get me wrong I like his rig.

... . drawn at random (as long as it is a Rob Thomas pic) yada yada yada,.....



(A TDR's worst nightmare )

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Maybe I should pull all of Rob's pics out of the pool for now . Otherwise if one of his happens to get picked (I have no control over which one gets picked - it's completely random) I'll NEVER hear the end of it!!

We have to give Rob a hard time, I'm sure I read it in the site guidlines.

 

[Rob Thomas]

Steve, no problem, remove my pics from the pool, I don't care { )

We don't need to see my heap on the front page (who visits the front page anyway ) I don't expect favoritism Steve, (next time we remove your transmission, I'll be a big help :-laf :-laf) so go ahead and give the babbies they're bottle, MY TRUCK IS STILL IN CHAT!!! :-laf :-laf



Later, off to locate my kneepads, Rob

Ok Amy, just so things don't get to outta hand, I'll answer. Back when there was a flammin' red '03 in the chat backround, I always complained about it (moreless just to annoy Steve), then Steve finally said, send him some pics of my truck, so I did, the 'ol squeaky wheel trick.



Later, Rob

steve,,nice work as usual on adding the "todays featured rig" to the website. it may need some tweaking though. seems like it keeps picking the same members over and over and just using different pic's from their albums.

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

It's a completely random number draw. The reason your seeing more pictures from some individuals is that they probably have more truck pictures in their album. If they have 12 truck pictures in their album they've got 12 times the probability that they'll be picked compared to someone with 1 picture.
