How about if we keep the original format, and then list the images as child boards?
This would allow people to continue posting to the main "Hilux Pickup/4Runner 1979-95" section as they'd like, or post to a specific section.
I know this was discussed on page one. The difference here is that we'd have images which perhaps doesn't clutter the list of child-boards as much.
Something like this. I did this through enduser code manipulation only, basically only in a sandbox mode on my end. We can do anything we'd like of course such as moving the images up into the "Child Boards" section so that there are not two boxes up top. Could help with out of control Stickies as they could be moved to their respective childboard, if possible.
We could add the 1st and 2nd gen 4Runners to this section also since they share the same base platform (more on this below).
Yes, I understand your point, but what if I'm a 4Runner owner and I'm looking for posts specific only to my own model? A specific board would neatly group info for me. At any rate, my suggestion above would keep the current structure and add specifics as childboards so that people could use them ONLY if they'd like to.-
OK I got it... Let me grab beer.
First off, I think you just like the pictures, which is probably valid. I am OK with whatever you decide in the end. The great bunch of guys on here are what makes this community what it is, including yourself. A change in the way it's laid out will not change this.
However,
If you were the 4Runner owner looking for post specific only to your own model you would be doing the wrong thing, because you would be missing out on a HUGE bunch of tech that does in fact pertain to your 4Runner. If you are new to the scene, you might not know this unless you sifted through a bunch of pickup threads and realized how much of the information crosses over. In this way you would be better off not narrowing it down so much to your own model. This is why "good is dumb".
If you are looking for something really specific to your 4Runner, say the rear wiper motor relay, you would probably just search for that and bump into a thread with details in the text or title like that.
If you are looking for how to weld the marlin ball gussets on your newly obtained solid axle without warping it, or how to get your inner axle off the birf, or how to set the valve lash on your 22r, you had better not be searching in a 4Runner specific board, because there are a million good examples everywhere else, but you would never see all those threads because you were only searching under the picture of your specific 4Runner. That is why "Evil always wins..."
Did I mention also that I like bacon?
No new taxes.
