OMG. I can't believe somebody took a suggestion of mine seriously and actually implemented it. Watch out world!!!

I was lucky a few months back my car was selected as the random car of the day

Just another suggestion - is there a way to limit the random car of the day selection to those with at least one picture? I just think it looks a little weird on the front page when you get a car of the day without a picture.

I'll have to sit down over the weekend sometime and set up some favourite cars, LOL most of the Tickfords will probably end up in there.

It was a great suggestion.

Dauphin, you never cease to amaze. It works like a gem. Time to change this thread title too!

It's back? First I didn't know there were ratings, then I didn't see them removed, and now it's back. Wow, you guys work fast.

As the website is the official "face" we like to keep it up to date, fresh and moving if at all possible.
This new ratings system cant be skewed by multiple votes each day so its much fairer for all I think.

Just had a look at the implementation of it, well done guys.

Another idea, when you click on a members' profile, do you think it should show their favourite cars in there? So say somebody clicks on my car then clicks on the "Posted by Riksta" bit to see the cars I have on display & blog etc, it would show the cars I have selected as favourites.

Dammit my head just swims with ideas for the site LOL

I thought about that but I'm not too sure if everyone would be happy about showing it. Maybe we can have an option in the account details to choose whether we wanna show our favorites.

I can't see why anyone would have a problem with it and if they did they can fix that by simply not selecting any favorites, nothing wrong with letting others know what you like. Good job with the way you've gone about it too, that goes for you too Casper.

what were you thinking ricksat?!! one good idea that we listen to and actioned, and you think all your ideas are worth using!! :
seriously though, thats not a bad idea......perhaps worth thinking about, once the favourites section is running well. one step at a time
BTW thanks for confusing everyone casper!! i saw the "...Ratings are back" title, and thought it was a new thread! :

One thing I noticed on AUFalcon web site is the events. You just pick an event your going to and attach yourself to the event. Thats an excellent function.

We are always looking at improving the website. Even though most of the interaction occurs here in the forums I think its important to constantly improve and enhance the website so people go back there and have a look.
