Fernando, l could not get any of the buttons on the membership page to do anything, so I just donated $100. I am on an iPad, just checked on a PC and there the membership button populates and activates the PayPal button.
Thanks again for getting this site set up!
While I have your attention.... Would it make sense to have a catch all topic in the public area (perhaps named FYI or PSA) for stuff that we WANT to be searchable by Google? I have a DIY for gun storage that I would like to offer up to the world that I think would be useful, but if I only post it in Armory, only members could see it. This does get into the question of whether we want to drive outside traffic to the site, but I think that to be successful long term, a bigger community is better. Cheers!
Thank you so much for your generosity!
With the membership module, the use of it might be a little confusing. You click on the selection you want and it won't do anything but update the amount on the right side. That's then where you click to make it all happen. Is that what you did and it still wasn't responsive?
But in any case I will add you in with the "Hall of Fame" membership.
Going forward I'm looking at a more robust module for membership that will be a little easier and more intuitive.
As for the public content, you read my mind and that's why I created the "Articles" section. Right now we only have an automotive section but I see value in creating topics around anything that the same individuals who appreciate fine machinery like Porsches would also be interested in. The forum is great for ongoing conversation but I think if we want to archive something then the Articles section (and this can be renamed too if we feel it's not representing what it is) is where we can use more sophisticated SEO tools and also it has the ability to create PDFs and social-media shareable links.
I'm actually going to add an "Opinions" section there soon as I have a couple of driving-related topics where I'd like to speak my mind on :)
Thanks again for your support. If you do want to submit anything go to
https://openroad.site/pages/articles-home/ and on the bottom there's a button for submitting content. Of course I'll give credit to the author unless you prefer to remain anonymous.
