Unfortunately the Gallery was used by hackers to access the site and do all sorts of damage, so it had to be removed.. It is something we are looking into re-establishing. :wink:

Yeah, we'd love to have a gallery, but as Kazbah mentions - it was the hole a hacker needed last time... we'll have to talk to 'The Godfather'

In the interim, there is one on the FTO chat group:

Well maybe we need a new section or sticky that link to that page, so people would know where to go.

Im looking at doing this under the showroom heading on the Complete FTO Site. Have certainly talked with Bennoz about this already. While I dont have the space for the pictures themselves (imageshach ect to host), I certainly have the setup to allow specs and mods for all. Anyone that has a login (Contributor) will be able to submit their cars/details easily.

I could set this up right now, but I cant think how to break it down so that if large numbers of people get involved it isnt a navigation nightmare, I thought I could breakdown by state, but that may not be enough. I guess model might work too.

If people are interested in taking this direction, help me sort out a structure and were ready to roll.

Would go under the showroom menu (top menu) - see link below:

I'm with Kev on this. For the time being anyway.

Just make a sticky and people can upload their pics from image shack. It'll just be another thread so no hacking.

Or have a page on CarDomain.com and then you can tell us all about your baby at the same time.
