Bump!

Bump....... This is a great new feature. Read and enjoy! Do you remember making long posts that got very favorable responses and became hot threads? Go back and make them articles! At the bottom of each post in the lower left corner it says...Promote To Article. It's easy! Beth

Rock n Roll! Beth :groovy3:

So did you guys enjoy the new chat room? We hope you get LOTS of use out of it! Beth :cup:

Why should I BLOG on The Grime Scene? What will it do for my business? The answer to that, is it will do only as much for you as you allow it to. Look, social networking is HOT. Blogging is hot. Articles are also hot. The search engines look for this type of content and it boosts rank. Each blog post you make will be added to your profile and linked to you. Anyone who visits your profile will see what you are all about, and you can get business this way. Many of our users have gotten business from TGS and many work together on jobs. This is one more way to sign your song, dance your dance, sell your service! We suggest your BLOG posts be meaningful to those who may seek you out. We also suggest that if you have written articles you consider adding them to our ARTICLE area on TGS. Both of these features allow you to add photos etc. to enhance your message. In the case of Articles they appear inline as they would in a news story. Very slick. Enjoy! Beth

Bump!! :groovy:

Hi Rick, Since 4.0 is so new (its about a week old so we are really on the bleeding edge here) not all of the modifications an dhacks have been upgraded to be compatible. As they become compatible, they will be added back. Thank you for letting us know how much you liked that feature, that is EXACTLY what we need to know. Speak up people...pretty please!! :sunshine: Beth :cup: :groovy3:

Here are some screen-shots of how to do it.

Too dark for pics but I did see the construction. We have Velcro going part way up on the 4 corners from the bottom up to allow for things like hoses and so forth that protrude. It has grommets as wel at the bottoml. Rod uses a strap that ratchets about midway down. Never had any problems. Beth

Give me 10 mins to get pics.... BRB.... Beth

If you have any errors or are denied access to an area you previously believed you had access to, please post it here: for ERRORS we need the error information and what specifically you were doing (link, forum, feature etc) when the error occurred. Also can you make the error happen more than one time? for Permission Denied messages we need to know where you were (link helps) and what you were trying to do - what you clicked - where you were trying to go Saying you got an error and giving us no info doesn't help us enough to help you. Saying you have no permission without telling us what you were trying to do or where you were trying to go doesn't help us help you. We can't respond to requests for help that do not contain this information. Thank you, ALL the TGS staff

It's not a grill cover. It's a custom skid cover and I have never seen a material as heavy as this...it's amazing. Beth

Home page is still under construction, the Articles feature will be there once it is done. :) Stay tuned! Beth

Move info from VB about articles.... Beth -------------------------------------------- Promoting Articles from the Forums One of the innovative new features on vBulletin 4.0 Publishing Suite is the cross-publishing "Promote to Article" functionality. In the spirit of promoting content discovery, we wanted to create features that will allow content to flow between Forums, Blogs, and Articles. For example, there might be a really popular post in the forums, but unfortunately it is buried inside page 13 of a thread. We will now have an option (if you have permissions) to “promote” a forum (or blog) post as a new article on the homepage. Here's how it works: 1: Users with permissions to publish a forum post into an article will see the “Promote to Article” button on each forum post. This user can push the button which will then bring up the “Add/Edit” article screen in the Content Management System. 2: In the “Add/Edit Article” page, the user will notice that the Article Title and Article Body is pre-filled with the information from the Forum Post . 3. Also note that the original author of the forum post is attributed as the new article author. Clicking the save button will save the new article publish it live to the CMS powered website. 4: After clicking “Save” the user will be taken to the Article View page. In this screen, visitors of the website can view the article and also leave a comment about the article. 5: Please note that at the end of the article, there is an attribution that this article was: a. Originally published in a forum thread (with hyperlink) started by a user (with hyperlink). b. And there is a hyperlink to the original forum post. 6: The article is also published on the front page of the CMS-powered Website.

I am opening this thread, and unsticking it so it can be a useful part of our content. Beth

:lol: Make your posts LONGER silly. ;) Seriously, glad you all like it. We will be working on it again lat this afternoon. The upgrade is not complete, more features are coming. This site is no longer just a VBulletin forum, it will have a full blown CMS (content management system). The articles feature is installed and I will be adding a help post soon so everyone can see how it works. I am going to tweak the categories today. Any suggestions are welcome!!! Also we will be adding Blogs. You will have (once added) the ability to create your very own blogs. Both blogs and articles are heavily SEO'ed and this is a very good thing for your business. Our site ranks VERY well. What else is coming? CHAT. We are adding back the much requested chat. BLOG - everyone gets a blog What's missing: Arcade - until the 4.0 version is updated Gallery - until the 4.0 version is updated Bulletin - you'll miss your weekly bulletin until this gets updated to 4.0 Link Directory - until the 4.0 version is updated Are there any other surprises? MAYBE...but if we told you about them, they would not be surprises! Enjoy! Beth
