Hallo,
if I got it correct, I'm the first non US citysen to reply to this about the remaking of the steel soldier apperiance.
I did read me through the 86 posts. Many good ideas, however, some posts simply show the users and not knowing, how much work is behind some programming. For it is not only the programming, ist MUST work problem free, which is the point.
The post with the for sale section selction suggestion "next to me, lowest price, selcted vehicle category, vehicle type"; this is a data base programming requirering a professional for several weeks work (if not month), for the map must be in the background. And do not forget, steel soldier is WORLDWIDE, so the world must be behind it. So we are at the next problem point: Address with ZIP code, city, street etc. for the member list. If only inside the US, that might work. However, as mentioned above, steel soldier is world wide. And f.e. German addresses are written different than US addresses (as all european addresses, Britain and the Netherlands are much different than Germany). And do not forget Japan (I lived there for 6 years, so how to handle 3-36 Honamanuna 3-chome, Suginami-ku, Tokyo, 0031-0167, which is the mandantory spelling for the address were I lived in Japan. This has nothing to do with any US-address. Next we try to handle f.e. India or Turkyie, how about Egipt or Tawwan, Indonesia etc., just to mention some.
This is not to claim: you never will make it. My intention is simply to show how many problems are behind some simple appearing suggestions; and to calm down the expectaitions of some members.
O.K., I would apreciate to make the upload of pics a little easyer (one or two clics less). But I think the actual form is relatively easy to handle. I needed some time to get used to it. Now it is o.k. for me. (remenber, it is not only SS which changes, the daily use software changes withoput notice in your job; nobody care for your personal ungrade. So I think, we do not need more upgeade and new procedures as realy neccessary for the required computer safety.
Recently I saw in a Hotel in the US a computer with a non upgrade fire wall, for the fee was not payed. This is the main problem, unsafe computers. Fire wall protection is not free of charge! However, this is not a problem of SS, it is a problem of the members.
Now enough!
Hope this helps also the administrators a little with their work.

Just imagine the SHOCK AND AWE (aka PUCKER) FACTOR that a gathering of OD IRON outside his/her window might provoke.
