Hi
I agree about the photo issue, I go to another VW forum (SBO) and you can load up to 1000k in photos to each post. 3 photos per post is a pain at
times.
Other VW forums I go to have no photo posting option so you have to use photobucket or similar.

Hi
Participation in this forum seems to be dwindling, I think Facebook is partly to blame for that. I make a concious effort to post in this forum as
well as Facebook.
If people don't post in here there will be nothing to read so members wont be coming back

not sure how that works as fb limit your post if they are not seen often enough.
they then make you pay if you want more viewers to your post.
I see less and less people on fb than before, or maybe I'm not seeing their posts either they didn't pay or I didn't look at hem often enough?
Anyway, is it really that bad there is less people here? I see it as a good thing. I am on one forum where the members are very little mostly to do
with advance stuff that weeds out dickheads because they have no understanding 
But everyone get to know everyone to the point of face to face too. Good people, and nothing is out of hand.

If photos were as easy to post here as on Facebook then I'd be here more often. resizing seems to old school, and frustrating for us kids these
days :P
WOO! 1000 members...lol

Re pic posting, there was once a time that I had no trouble at all posting pics here but out of the blue I was getting messages telling me they were
too big, even though I had previously posted the exact same pic on AVD, gave me grief for ages then I found a setting on my camera that was meant for
pics that were to be emailed, now I use that setting for anything that I may want to post here, still a problem though if I take a pic that I have no
intention of posting but then decide to post. Plenty of people have tried to guide me on the paths of righteousiness re resizing but it's all lost on
me, never seems to work. 
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

Facebook is a much easier medium so I think a lot of forum activity is switching over to there...
I don't post often but still daily driving my bug  I've also noticed
as I've been here over 10 years now (scary thought!) that slowly there is more of a switch to people having new daily drivers the air cooled dubs
being weekend only cruisers which could also contribute to the drop in activity. Also this used to be the only place but now there are multiple aussie
vw forums which cater to their own niche group. |
