It may seem like a small thing to most but... I can't remember the last time I viewed someone's profile (apart from a handful of members) and actually saw a picture of a car. I can't believe that that many people don't have either a digital camera or a phone with one built in. For me, half the attraction of this site is the fact that you can not only share friendly and helpful information on these awesome cars, but you can see them...or at least that used to be the case. Before the ALSC>>>Soarer Central migration, there was probably only 10-15% of profiles without a picture in their profile. Now, there's probably only 10-15% with one!! This is a car club right!! Let's start including a few more pictures of cars!! Surely one of the reasons ALSC/Soarer Central got so huge is because it looks great. Get off your ass, go take a photo of your car, whatever it may be, and share it. It's all about eye candy after all.
Yeah, I agree guys! Go grab your camera or your neighbour's and snap away alrighty? There's no fun looking at ppl's profile if there's no car picture on it

Peter, Just a suggestion, can a photo icon be shown in the profile column of the members list?
Even better. On the members list screen there is a link "Show List Options". If you click on that, you can change how the list is formatted AND what the list contains.
Now here is the tricky bit. Scroll the "Display Columns" down until you can see the word "picture" which isn't highlighted. Now, hold the Ctrl key down on your keyboard and click in "picture" to add it to the list. NOTE: If you don't hold Ctrl, you will lose the rest of the details - which you might want to do, but initially you won't want to do it.
Lastly, click New Search button, and Bingo, the pics are shown in the list with the other details.
The Members List is actually a very powerful tool if you care to play with it a bit
Next trick. Just select "Full Name" and "Picture" on the left, then in Sort Mode (on the right) select "Picture" and you see all the ones with pics, as the others drop to the bottom of the list.
