vb garage

[prakashkamath]

what do you guys think of organizing the vb garage so that is is alphabetical by user name. or something better than what it is. everytime i have wanted to look up someones ride, i have to go through all the pages till i find it. there are currently 17 pages of just names.

It is sorted by the order you signed up. What I do when I want to view a specific users garage is to open their profile, copy their user id #, open vbgarage, click one and then change the user id to their number.

[prakashkamath]

i'll do that, but vb garage could be much easier dont you think?

[Marc93lx]

I don't think you can change the way the names are sorted.

[prakashkamath]

ah well, thanks for listening.

[prakashkamath]

how do i find a members id number?

[Marc93lx]

click on the user name and open up their public profile. Look at the link in the address bar, should look like this: http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/member.php?userid=20

The last number, 20 in my case, is the user id.

[prakashkamath]

got it, thanks a lot.

[prakashkamath]

so, apparently the user number in the vb garage starts from 1 on every page. not much help.

[Marc93lx]

No, that isn't the user number. In vbgarage, click on a user name and look at the link in the address bar of your browser. The vbgarage link will look like this:

http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/vbgarage.php?do=view&id=20

Look at the end of the link; id=20. That is my vbgarage user id as well as my forum user id.

Now to view your vbgarage, I would do the following. I would click on your user name in the members list, which opens your public profile. Now, I would then look at the link in the address bar. It looks like this:

http://www.wihandyman.com/forum/member.php?userid=3887

Look at the end of the link; user id=3887. That is your user id. I would then copy 3887. Open vbgarage, click on a random users vbgarage, and replace their user id with "3887" and hit enter. Now I am looking at your vbgarage.

[prakashkamath]

ah, eureka!

It'd be nice if our vbGarage were like this: http://www.mazda-community.de/team.php?page=ba

I also agree that the way to look for members is cumbersome and irritating.
