Gary Lewis Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 There's been some discussion about having a monthly photo contest for our trucks. We did this a couple of years ago when the forum was quite small and it kinda died out. But maybe now we have enough activity to warrant it. So, let's try this. I've created a new pinned folder called Monthly Truck Photo Contest, and within it I put up a folder for April. And I added 66gtk's truck's pic. PLEASE DO NOT POST IN EITHER OF THOSE FOLDERS AT THE MOMENT! They are to sorta figure out what we want to do, so let's keep the discussion in this thread. I think we need a vote process each month for the next month. Yes? I've added a poll in this thread to get our juices flowing. Please vote. And please reply.

Gary Lewis Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 I've set the Monthly Truck Photo Contest folder up so only admins can create topics w/in it or reply. But I think I set up the April 2020 folder so you can reply to it. Please go see. If that doesn't work, then I think I'll have to kill the April 2020 folder and make it just a reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And once I figure out how to delete a folder I'll delete the one that's now named Mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm guessing GSM tried to post in the locked folder. Well, what I had planned and how it actually worked were two different things. But I think I got it fixed. The plan was that the pinned folder, called Monthly Truck Photo Contest would be locked such that only admins could create a thread/topic in it. And we would create one per month. But the threads would not be locked, so after the admin created it and posted the pic of the truck for the month any member could comment. But, I didn't tick the box in Permissions that let people reply. So, when someone tried they got "You can't do that, please request permission", which GSMBlue did. I've now fixed that and proved it with my Test User login. HOWEVER, we don't have a way to determine what the next month's truck will be. And we need to be discussing that right now so we are ready for May. HELP, PLEASE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Do we create a poll? I'm thinking of one particular to-tone-truck myself p Not sure which truck you mean, but I can create a new thread with a poll in it. However, I don't think I can change the questions in the poll once I create it. And the poll has to be in the first post of a thread, I think. But, let's give it a try. First, I need pics to post so they know what they are voting for. So, folks, please post pics of the truck you are suggesting for truck of the month. Just one pic each, and after we get a few of them I'll create the poll. Will that work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsmblue Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I'm guessing GSM tried to post in the locked folder. Guilty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Guilty! But, it wasn't SUPPOSED to be locked. You were meant to post in there. I logged in with my Test User account, saw the Reply button, and called it good. But, after you had problems I tried to reply and got the same response you did - ask for permission. So I fixed it. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
