Random Cars In Showroom?

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 14 Mar 2004, 12:29

Hey all! I think it would be a great addition to put a randomly selected thumbnail of a showroom car on the main showroom page avery time the page is hit. Many other sites have this kind of thing and it really gives you another avenue into the showroom - just click the thumbnail and you're taken right to the car.

Matter of fact, if this type of thing was scripted such that a random car pic appeared on every car page, people could use it to take a kind of random tour through the showroom.

This could also be applied just as easily to other sections of the site, such as the vinyls area and the car downloads.

So, what do people think? Huh?

I've been thinking of that but never actually made myself do it...

Will do it shortly.

Is it generated based on a miniumim user vote or guest vote or is it trully random?

Judging from what it throws up, my bet is it's truly a random thing...

wait a second, I went there and saw nothing... did I go to the right place? I visitied just the main showroom page.. Nothing is different.

Check the right sidebar, under the poll, UrQ. You'll need to scroll down a ways... Also note that it's there on the main page and on every car, so you can just click from car to car in a random pattern. Works great!!

Yeh kinda stinks that it's not right on the top, but it's definately a neat little addition to the sidebar.

This thread happened so fast I missed it completely
