In the last 90 days our little site has grown from three members to nearly sixty and from one post to over 1200. We're bumping our head on adding one new member every day now and more and more people are joining our classic motorhome community. A number of members have requested some features to help identify information about our members. No personal information, but simply information about the rig they own, if they are interested in helping a fellow member with a breakdown in their area, etc.
I've been working on some new technology which will allow us to find other members using Google Maps. I know when I've been on the side of the road it would be nice to click on a map and see the other members near me that have expressed a willingness to help with a mechanical breakdown...or even some overnight parking.
In order to make this work I need to ask for some more information from each member. Namely a city, state and zip code along with some YES/NO settings for questions like "I Can Help Another Member within 50 miles" etc. I'll also add some additional address info as we might do some mailing in the future...but it won't be required.
I wanted to post about this change well in advance so everyone has a chance to weigh in on the subject. Once implemented, the next time you log in you will be asked to enter the required information into a profile page. Again, only some of this info will be required. For new members, they will still register quickly with the a username, email and password - but when they get their confirmation email and log in they too will have to complete the profile.
So, I'm looking for some feedback, concerns, comments, etc on this change.

This weekend we'll be implementing the new expanded user information. When you log onto the site again you will be presented with a "Profile" page. You'll need to complete this page in order to log in. Only a few fields will be required. This is a one time change, so once you complete your profile, you won't need to to it again.
If anyone has questions about this, please post then here. Thanks for your cooperation. |

| Hey Steve. Nice looking family! Great job on the profiles. Can't figure out why you claimed my wife when yours is so pretty. Mystery. Okay, for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about. When Steve was describing the new profiles he said "take a look at one, Mine" and the link went to our picture. Been teasing him since. Okay, I'll quit now. |
