I agree, possibly two chapters.....TRIP PLANNING & TRIP REPORTS.
I've been wanting to suggest this for some time now, so I think it's a great idea to split the planning and report stage.
The other thing I have been thinking about is to have a sticky in the Trip Planning section (one for each region) that is purely a notification thread for new threads about up coming trips.
For example...
QLD trip notifications
WA trip notifications
NSW trip...
... etc...
These are made stickys, you subscribe to the one in your area and when someone posts a new trip thread, they put a link to their thread in this one... (mods delete any chatter without notification) so people don't have to miss last minute trips.
What do you think :idea:

Good suggestion Leon, I'll get onto it.
can all please send me your trip dates and I will add it to the sticky section. We will give it a trial run for three months.
The threads will be sticky but left unlocked so members can insert their trip details into the thread. As suggested by Snaga, all chatters WILL be deleted without notice.

Looks good so far Kel...
So you or the mods don't have to up date the first post all the time have you made it so the thread can be added to... one extra post each time with new trip details by the person posting the trip??
Thanks for adding the stickys

Sorry Kel... should have read it closer ops:

Oh Good... lets see how that works.
And must say its good to see more trips going up Aus wide.
Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.

I would like to bring this up again...
With people now starting to plan some trips well in advance and also a lot of people are asking advise about up coming trips I think it shows that a 'Trip Planning' section would not go to waste...

Qld Chapter
NT chapter
Given this suggestion was made a few months ago & hasn't been implemented probably means it's not going to happen, however.... I can vouch that it is successful on many other forum's I frequent. It is a great way to bring fellow local enthusiasts together.

PradoPoint might not be big enough at this stage to bother with those chapters (which worked well on the Honda CRV forum I used to frequesnt before buying the Prado)... but I was specifically referring to the 'trip planning' section.
But we'll see what the powers at be think

It is more like regional groups... Lcool got those. It is doable once there
is enough activity in all the states and once (and if) websuite gets upgraded....

Just to confirm... I'm not talking about the state chapters...
Maybe a new thread is in order discussing the merits of a 'TRIP PLANNING' section.

It's about time we start making financial contribution towards the maintenance of this forum. This way, the site administrator can afford to implement the mountain load of suggestion.
If it's not a case of hitting a few buttons and typing a few words I'm happy as it is...
as noted... it's just a suggestion.
