20 years of GBodyForum? What's Next?

Would it be worth adding a category in the For Sale/Wanted section called 'Rides'? If someone is doing a long distance trip and has space or an empty trailer one-way, that could a useful resource to post. It may need some kind of time limit feature so that old news does not get someone's hopes up.

Yeah, it needs a lock on it after a certain time. There's always that one necromancer that pops the old ad up 7 years later asking- "You still heading to California this weekend? I have a part I need carried back..."
 
Ya know, whenever I see a G-body, even a crummy one, I ask if they are on G-BodyForum.com. They are NEVER on! I find it amazing. How are they struggling along with parts and repairs when this is the place to be? My first G-body I was looking for info, was led here, and never left. I do talk up the site but I rarely see that car owner again.
 
Oh btw, it took me 5 minutes of looking around to figure out how to become a supporting member; I would suggest taking a page out the ol' corporate playbook and making it as easy as possible for people to 'part with money' , i.e. support the forum - e.g. add a 'Support GBodyForum' button or something to the header next to the profile-notification-etc icons, or something. Just a thought 🙂

As a sidenote, I'm a software engineer and I feel I have a pretty good feeling for usability and making software interfaces intuitive and user friendly, so if you ever want a second opinion or to spar on something related to the layout or functionality or what ever of the site, just holler 🙂

I also really like the idea to have a 'suggestions box' sub-forum where people can post ideas about improvements, new features, etc., and members can discuss the idea and give input and improve upon it. I think it's an excellent, free resource for how to improve and stay relevant, even if you don't end up doing most of if.

This is a valid point. On the desktop there's a nondescript "Upgrade" link that really doesn't say what it is.... 🤔 On mobile its hidden in the hamburger menu and you probably didn't even know it was there.

I'll try and find a way to make it more prominent without being ridiculous. I'd like to do a periodic pop up that once you dismiss it, you wouldn't see it for a month or whatever. Not sure how that would be received, and those have a tendency to run into technical problems and just show all the time for some people.....
