I'd just like to take a minute to let you guys and gals know about a couple features that have been added to the forum.
First off is the Timeslips Database (http://forums.jpdragway.com/timeslips.php?). The Timeslips Database is a place where you can enter info such as horsepower, 60' times, 1/8th mile times, etc. You can even upload a scan of your actual timeslip. To enter all this info, simply go to your UserCP (http://forums.jpdragway.com/usercp.php) and go to "Edit Your Timeslip Data".
Secondly, there is the JPD Garage (http://forums.jpdragway.com/vbgarage.php?do=list). This is a place where you can create a virtual garage where you can store photos, details, etc. about your vehicle. Each member has their own garage. You may upload 8 pictures and provide a description of mods that you have done. You can also comment on other peoples garage. To add or edit your garage info, it's under your UserCP (http://forums.jpdragway.com/usercp.php) just go to the link titled "Edit Your JPD Garage".
Third, I have integrated Imageshack picture hosting into "Post Reply" and "New Thread" pages. This will act as a shortcut so you can post pictures on the forum with minimum hassle. To use it, see below.
First off, the image hosting option is located under "Additional Options". It looks like this...

To insert a picture into your thread, simply click browse and find the picture located on your computer's hard drive, and then click host it! The image host's site will load in a new window. Once the new page has loaded, you will see 5 links on the page. The link that you will use for your pictures will be the direct link to the image. Simply copy that direct link to use in the next step. Once you have your direct link, you can close that window and come back to the forums and click the insert image button, which looks like this...

Click the "Insert Image" button, and insert the link that was given to you from the image host's site. Hit OK. You should see your picture in the forum's text area. That's it. It sounds like a lot, but it's really not as difficult as it sounds.
That's about all for now, if you experience any problems, please let me know so I can fix it. The link to PM me is in my signature. I hope you all enjoy these new features. Hopefully we can make Jefferson-Pageland Dragway forums the best on the net. :cool:
Thanks, :D
