Your journal...

[flip]

Is now a little more private. A good idea was submitted to us moments ago. In hopes of keeping lurkers out and keeping theft down, the members journals are now only vieable by registered users.

Hope this helps...

does that mean as soon as they sign up they can see them or after they have been a member for a while it would probably be better as far as thieves if it had a time period involved too so they couldn't just sign on as a member one time and then take thier picks of cars to go after..... just a thought

[babowc]

^good idea.
Maybe... pw? lolol, thats pretty wack.. noone would want to visit the projects subforum..
hm..
Jester has the best idea i think.. lol only idea :P

[flip]

I'm not sure if we can make it only work after a certain # of posts without using some kind of addon. I will check tonight tho.

[babowc]

if it doesnt cost an absurd amount of money.. i can definitely pitch in to make that change happen!

i like the idea of a private journal but at the same time if its viewable to registered members i dunno, maybe have a members list and for each specific journal that person can click...... sorta like the ignore buddy list on here.

well, we get ip's of everyone that logs on or visits the site. so if theft becomes an issue, we can give ip addresses to the proper authorities and they can track them that way.

[JDM Steve]

true, good point..

[Infinite]

mmhm, it also logs every ip every user signs in from, so there cant be any tom-foolery with anonomiziers

[babowc]

lol.
of the thousands of ip addresses people will log in from, how are they going to narrow it down to the thief?

dynamic ip addy and each computer can/will change ip address everytime they reconnect their internet.

ip-logging is pretty much useless if the theif wants to be anonymous, they can go to a lan-center or library.

^ pretty much yep. There are things you can do to find people but most of the time its difficult...

[JDM Steve]

thats crappy

[babowc]

Just dont post too much information about your car..
thats one mistake i made i believe.

just keep it vague.. dont make a shopping list for theives to check through, LOL!

especially if you have fuel cut-off/battery cut-off/fuse pulled.

these things should be remained in private messages!

[JDM Steve]

true that

[babowc]

i dont believe there were two more stolen again..
