How about images of recent airshows, progress of ongoing or completed warbird restorations, artwork or photos depicting events in military history for that particular day; stuff like that (in addition to recent posts).

Country: | I may be pushing my luck with this but how about "The Experts" section or something similar. There seems to be members who are experienced in one subject or another. Wurger and Erich on the Luftwaffe, Thunder on R/C, Syscom on Naval, etc,etc. Maybe a section where it lists the members expertise. Or as a sub-header to each section.

Country:  | This has been eating my mind for (shut up! I heard that!!) quite some time now.... Why is there only Luftwaffe aircraft in the picture at the top, with ww2aircraft.net? Would it be possible to have it changed every now and then??

I was once a moderator five or six years ago and I noticed a pattern of some types of folks entering the forum, then note a flurry of 'negatives' showing up on another poster's 'rankings'.. then off again... life is too short for adult behavior sometimes.
I'm old enough to realize that not everybody is going to love my point of view (no matter how charming I know myself to be) so it didn't bother me to see some printed brilliance of mine get 'downchecks' - but it got nasty.. for different reasons than disagreements on POV.
I would offer that ranking is not such a great idea. (that should get me a mixture of 1's and 5s) |

Another thing I was thinking, what about a maximum size for photo's & attachments, if they are larger than that they are automatically downsized. Otherwise when someone posts a "huge" pic, it expands the text on the whole thread so that you have to scroll back & forth to read.

Country: | It is supposed to work like that, and does for photos that are linked in. If they are directly attached, they are not resized. I think there may be a way to do that, I am just not sure how yet. It'll be a couple of weeks before I can actually sit down and concentrate of looking into it, but I will see what I can do.

Country: | It just occured to me that every few months or so, someone changes their siggy. I thought maybe we could have a place for old siggys, like "Njaco's Sigs" or something. Some old sigs were pretty cool. Of course, you can always just start a thread and add to it as things change. Just a thought.

I would give it a try (if the Admins give the ok), but I bet Wurger and Njaco would be best at it.
