Can we have a new section " Trivia Of The Day " in the home page ? It can be updated with interesting facts on a particular car or a manufacturer or anything that entices interest. Also it could be about a long forgotten snippet of a landmark event or about a revolution that shaped the industry in a particular era etc

Example - the origin and backdrop of 3 point seat belt and its inventor or The Spirit of Ecstasy Story etc.

These interesting trivia must have been discussed in many threads sometime for sure. But to have all such things in one place would be really nice especially for the newer generation that's getting bitten by the automotive bug . It should have the repository like any other session where one can go back and access the previous trivia.

How would this be for a start ? Source: Wikipedia

"The Spirit of Ecstasy is the bonnet ornament sculpture on Rolls-Royce cars. It is in the form of a woman leaning forwards with her arms outstretched behind and above her. Billowing cloth runs from her arms to her back, resembling wings.

The Whisper, precursor to the Spirit of Ecstasy

The first Rolls-Royce motorcars did not feature radiator mascots; they simply carried the Rolls-Royce emblem. When Baron John Montagu commissioned his friend, sculptor Charles Robinson Sykes, who worked in London under the nobleman's patronage, to sculpt a personal mascot for the bonnet of his 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, Sykes chose Eleanor Velasco Thornton as his model. Sykes originally crafted a figurine of her in fluttering robes, having placed one forefinger against her lips – to symbolize the secret of their love affair. The figurine was consequently named The Whisper and is on display at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu along with other Spirit of Ecstasy figurines.Only three or four castings were ever made, and only two are believed to have survived."

Team bhpians can contribute to this and Mods can select them and update on a daily basis.

I think enabling the 'Thanks' button for the Shifting gears section was a bad idea. Shifting gears section sees a lot of politically inclined posts. It is difficult to avoid such posts in shifting gears section because the topics there are always related to government policies, locations, commodity prices etc. Posts in that section inflate the Thanks count pretty fast. Also, that section does not get added to a user's number of posts. So it leads to a disproportionate 'thanks to post' ratio. You cannot rely on a person's 'thanks to post' ratio to assess his credibility in automotive-related matters anymore.

Can we have a know your distinguished BHPian's thread for those willing to share. I think we will find many good vehicle and life stories.

After voting on a Poll, a text is displayed for the Logged-In User. This text is not readable, could the colour of the text be changed to white for better readability? I am on BHP Silver Theme.

Just a hostname mismatch. The cert was issued for tt.team-bhp.com not www.team-bhp.com

This server could not prove that it is www.team-bhp.com; its security certificate is from tt.team-bhp.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

When I clicked on one of the most viewed articles, the image is not displayed properly/in its dedicated section.

P.S: I couldn't reproduce the bug again.

Not sure if this is the right thread, but can we upload multiple images though an android phone?

Not a great way to assess a member's credibility in automotive-related matters on the forum tbh, since the 'Thanks' feature was introduced only in 2011. Old members must have written thousands of posts in the 7 years before that, so their number of posts will also be much higher than the number of thanks they've received.

Thanks, but I am not able to upload multiple images nor am I getting an option to do so. Have attached a screenshot of what option I get. But clicking on that enables me to select only one image.

After clicking on Choose Files, go to your folder and long press on the first image to start selecting images. After that short tap to select multiple images.

Has Team-bhp ever considered moving to xenforo from vBulletin? One major reason I find is, xenforo looks a feels more modern with more refined functionality (for forum maintenance and admins). Another being, xenforo seems multi-fold more mobile-friendly to me. Also their pricing seems more straight forward. A lot cheaper initial license and support renewals are much much cheaper with no obligation to renew.

A good wysiwyg editor and a good mobile compatibility is all I need right now.

I'm able to attach 10 images from my mobile using Chrome. Can you clear cache and see if it helps.
