    You can do the same thing I did....


    Just start doing it

    I started by with posts saying "Unofficial VTCoA Truck of The Month" and went from there. There is no rule that I'm aware of that prevents any one from doing this

    So what about the main page? I am assuming only one person can do this? It can be set up with minimal effort so that someone else can deal with just that.
    Just have it point to a spot that keeps a file called "TOTM.jpg" then that file gets changed every month.

    Jeff, I am seriously up for this. Whether it be to help you get this back up, or to take it over.
    Let me know and I will put up a poll to see what others think about getting it back up and running.

    Maybe even start it where it can be passed every year to someone else to keep it going.. :dontknow:

    No problem Jeff, apology accepted. I realize it came from a place of frustration, just pissed me off a little. ;)

    I just was playing around a little and haven't been able to find a way that I can change the picture. I think only administrators are able to do that. If I do find out that I can, I'd be more than happy to take that over and change the pics every month.

    And I apologize for the crack about quitting.

    I for one enjoyed TOTM even though I knew bigred would prolly never even get nominated. I voted every month and I like pictures of VT's so this was the perfect outlet for that. Viper Jeff I want to thank you for all you have done for this site and its members.

    Wes

    I would just say to ....... "Just Do It"


    Get yourself some nominations and then a quick poll an September can have a TOTM. I will not stand in your way or interfere with anyway you would like to run it. This is after all for the Members


    If you want or need to talk, send me a PM and I'll send you my phone number

    I think Sept is out of the question, but October is a definate possibility.
    Shoot me your number and I will give you a call some other night.
    I want to go over the rules from the past and on a few other forums before jumping into this. I also want to do a poll and see what kind of interest there is. That way I can get an idea of how many of the "interested" people are actually doing the voting.

    As strange as this may sound, I'm with Tony on this one. You either do it or you don't

    I learned from asking questions the water doesn't get clearer, it just brings the mud to the top and makes what your thoughts harder

    I'm sure Bob will help me on this one and just delete my post on rules, I don't care about post count anyway. Come up with what you think is fair and run with it

    Put the front page image in a garage called TOTM, whoever runs the TOTM has the rights to place photos in that garage, then have the main page point to that photo. Each month, the photo in the garage gets replaced by a photo with the same name, problem resolved. The person running the TOTM, is responsible for uploading the photo to the garage each month.

    You're looking at 15 minutes to set the whole thing up.

    Exactly what I am thinking. BUT I need to see if it can get set up or not.

    Jeff,
    Im not thinking of a set number of people needing to vote. I am just curious who is really interested in gettting this back up and running.
    If I had 10 people vote it would be fine with me. If no vendors supported it, it would be fine with me. There are people who want it, so I am simpily providing it.

    I know it can be setup, I use this same process on my web sites. The garage thing makes it easy, just upload the graphic each month and it replaces the old one. Simple stuff.
