Go into photo albums, select users photos or what ever its called then use admin options to create yourself an album then you can upload photos into your album.

Mike, all paid up.... Am I the first UK member then...? If you don't want to / can't post the stuff over here then let me know and I will give you a NZ address. I guess the only advantage of being over this side of the world is the exchange rate :D :D....

Sorry guys, was just fixing something critical that locked one member out.

Ok to answer questions. Nope you wont loose anything just yet, It will take me a month or so to get things going, I aint superman ..... well not yet anyway(still working on that)

Caps hi vis things T-shirts, jackets etc all wicked ideas but we definitly need a logo first. ORE dont have a logo to speak of, just those straight blue stickers and that funny weird pic I did in photoshop 4 years ago in the top left corner(and would you believe its a LR!!!) So maybe we need to run a competition for a logo. and the winner gets a free?? t-shirt mug and a cap :lol: kidding membership for life or something :shock:

Also it would be great to have help organising this stuff as I pretty much have all my spare time going into modifying the site for the member benifits. I've still a few things to do to the recovery DB to set that live and the major upgrade of the gallery for the gps photos etc. I need to get fix my CV as well before krawlr comes around and chops my surf up for spare parts :evil:

Just a little clarification note, forums will remain open to all, avatars however will be switched on for payed members(just nice to have it there), gallery uploads will be for payed members(a lot of the bandwidth goes into that) and members 4wd creation and viewing (for security reasons) will be only for payed members also, as will be the recovery squad (again security) and classifieds (a privalidge for payed members) Also when the new server is up and running, every payed member will get either an USERNAME@ore.co.nz or USERNAME@offroadexpress.co.nz email address with virus and spam filtering on it. Plus the membership discount card with a page on the site listing the busninesses that offer discount and what it is.

Ok heading back to it.

Mind if I run a vendor giveaway (Freebie... Zero, zip, nada :lol:) for the new "paid up" members then? I have one last 12V in-cab fresh brew coffee maker - very last one I could get. Maybe a random draw from all those paid and signed up before midnight Sunday? Might be an incentive for some to blow the cobwebs off the credit card... :)

Just a thought...

Well done Mike, big up's to you and all your elf helpers. Im just off to buy a Penn real and more dive gear as well as a chest freazer, getting prepared for the upcoming fishing/diving season.

Will join next week.

Mike, I remember when joined this site it was all about the South Island and Central districts (not being critical to you guys). Good to see Wellington showing it's colours these days. This is mainly due to you moving here (I think). So if there are any area's that have flagging membership we will send Mike there :wink:

Membership Number 59.....
DAMN!! Wopass beat me by ten.....
Hope there are enuff cofee machines to go around.

Mike, can you make the CITY or AREA feild of the membership form mandatory? would make it easier to track peole and possibly contact them for play times. Or to do targeted mailings for a quick trip?


Regards.....

thats just a transaction number. It jumps all over the place and has no corrilation on forum supporters. I'm going to put something in the users block on the front listing how many forum supporters we have. In the mean time ill just check the DB(database, not dieselboy :wink: )
