Freebird Posted November 7, 2007 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2007 OK folks...if you look at my avatar and other information on this post, you will see a note that says "VenturRider Meets Attended". I received a request from Jeff and Beer30 asking if I could add something like the "Awards" system to show how many eat and meets, rallies, maintenance days, etc. that a member has attended. This is a far cry from what they asked for but is the best I can do at this moment. I will try, in the future, to come up with something closer to what they really wanted. At any rate, this will work on the honor system. All you need to do is click on UserCP and then Edit Profile. At the very bottom of the page you will find a box to select how many VentureRider meets and eats, rallies, maintenance days you have showed up for. I just put 20 in there for now but can increase it if and when I need to. Heck, some of you may have already made more than 20. If so, just let me know. Sorry Jeff and Beer, but this will have to do for now and takes the pressure off me and/or the moderators for adding this info. I will try to make it fancier some time soon.

Eck Posted November 7, 2007 Share #6 Posted November 7, 2007 Well Don, I think you will need to add more than 20 so the Alabama members can keep up... The Huntsville Al VR group meets "some place" just about every saturday for breakfast...in and around the Huntsville area, and more and more new members keep joining up with us too... We just got another new member (DaveCB) who joined us last saturday for breakfast, then a ride and to a bike show... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted November 7, 2007 Share #7 Posted November 7, 2007 Does this mean that every ride we go on with another VentureRider we get to post another number? must it be an eating place for a rest stop? maybe we should define it some more.

Thom Posted November 7, 2007 Share #8 Posted November 7, 2007 how about we can count a meet and eats that are posted here ? oh and we need pic's for proof :rotfl:always need pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Terror Posted November 7, 2007 Share #9 Posted November 7, 2007 I dont like the idea. Its not some kind of competition. For the same reason that we dont show the post counts I dont think its a good idea. We area all equal here regardless of post counts and meets and awards.

Freebird Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share #10 Posted November 7, 2007 I'm not sure how best to do it. Maybe only our planned and major rallies like Fort Collins, the Dragon, VentureRider East, VentureRider West, Pig in the Park? I could also do away with this version completely and just add it to the awards section. Creat a new medal or icon for rallies and etc. but the problem with that is that I or SOMEBODY has to manually put those in. The advantage though is that you could see in somebodies profile which events it was that they attended. I don't know.......it's just ALL SO CONFUSING... For now, I've increased the number selection to 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Ghost Posted November 7, 2007 Share #11 Posted November 7, 2007 Freebird, I probably won't use that section, but I really appreciate the way you have gone out of your way to give us options in the ways we use this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggler Posted November 7, 2007 Share #12 Posted November 7, 2007 Pig in the Park? Uh, would you be thinking of the Venture Inn Rally and Pig Roast. I know we changed names from last year (Pork in the Pines). I'm not sure why they changes the name, but the name does have other meaning if ya know what I mean. Nudg, nudg, wink wink. Anyways, thanks for the new feature. I'm not sure it's a good idea. IMHO. Some people consider meets to be brunch with another VR member every Sunday. Others are counting the annual rallies.

Rocket Posted November 7, 2007 Share #13 Posted November 7, 2007 IMHO. Some people consider meets to be brunch with another VR member every Sunday. Others are counting the annual rallies. For me, I had included meeting a California member touring my area, Carl's meet. I did not include meeting up with Sailor,, as he is located in my general area.

Squeeze Posted November 7, 2007 Share #14 Posted November 7, 2007 Am i allowed to count my "I seriously wanted to be there, but i have no Bike in US or Canada ?? " Events ?? :stirthepot::stirthepot: Seriously, i second Tartan Terror's Statement. I do not need such a Count to consider another Member more or less than others. Of Course, there ever will be some 'Primus inter Pares', or 'more equal than the other Equals' but that doesn't bother me. And, i do not see anything what makes this Feature usefull or helpfull. And for those who i do not like to read, there is the Ignore Button. Nobody on my List so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted November 7, 2007 OK....reading all the responses here, maybe this was just a bad idea. It was meant to simply be a fun little addition but maybe I didn't think it through as well as I should have. It may go away tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now, I've increased the number selection to 40. I agree with Scott about the competition thing, but if you need a benchmark for attendees, why not keep score by patches? That'll keep it down to just the majors... That'll also keep that Alabama group down to a dull roar....... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegscraper Posted November 7, 2007 Share #17 Posted November 7, 2007 My first thought at Don's very first post here was - we removed the post counter and now we're putting this up? Maybe this could be put in the profile instead of appearing by the board name all the time. Isn't that where the post counter is now? I never look at it.

Freebird Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share #21 Posted November 7, 2007 Naw...I don't think it's important enough for a poll. We did fine without it, I think I'll just make it go "poof". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcarl Posted November 8, 2007 Share #25 Posted November 8, 2007 Now 'THAT WAS EASY'!!!!! But if we could set our fonts to our own standard so that each time we posted it would just come out the way we want it, THAT WOULD BE EASier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
