Give me your views guys-just took out sidebars on the right to make the forum bigger so should be better posting videos and photos of your Syma 107 or what ever-trying to incorporate section on forum just to up load photos-hope to get that going next week: SF Confused

True CPD,However this site is built using Wordpress,so looking for a good plugin-it might work using flickr,I will have an account that you post photos there then auto updates using plug in to the blog,a lot more research yet

Could find the least-used page, and trim down the bandwith on it, or reduce the draw from the background and footer... the footer background's an easy fix for a little bit of draw, but a solid background on everything helps a lot. (or so I was taught...)

Am working on setting up a page for you all to upload your photos to,however having to do a bit of work with my host server as needs more bandwidth,fear can be the site starts to load slowly-Any how will have something set up after Christmas

I can see this site becoming extremely popular. There aren't any like this I've seen in my virtual travels. As for suggestions, well all I would do is expand the forum, it's a very important part of the site. And the Member's photo/video page suggested before is a very good idea.

Yeah, you can't have that many divisions- mods, OT, general syma stuff and advice sections with a user-uploaded photo page is about all of what's needed...

 A contest for a new heli?!?!? Count me in! 

 

 I think the forum would streamline a bit better if it was categorized under different topics such as mods, pics, troubleshooting, clones/knockoffs, barter/for sale (swap shop), news, funny stories, and off topic.

Hi,

in my opinion it would be usefull to start info about other Syma's.

Just ordered my second one, a Syma S111.

May be separate chapters for each type is an idea to get a fast fast accessible databank.

Also separating modifications and repairs will make things clear.

Succes with the splendid forum!

Yi

I did start doing that but was a little hesitant to review other Syma helis so not to take away what this blog is-the Syma s107-however I am setting up that idea and hope to have the blog expand to more helis- thank you for input.

Yeah, not sure if it's nice enough for $10/month... nice, but not THAT nice... that's $120/year more! Really need to start either selling these helis on amazon to make it up, or do SOMETHING...

 

like I said before, though, somewhere, freeforums.org has a freebe thing like this... the "clan" (really team) for call of duty I'm in has one, complete with all kinds of other pages and a chat feature. http://teammxs.freeforums.org/

 

I don't know how easy it is to maintain and set up, but it has all the features we use now, plus it can put pictures/videos in posts without a url.

FANTASTIC!!!  bottom line, chat room wow I am impressed SurprisedSurprisedLaugh

I have a Mac will it be the same as windows ?

Yes should work ok,you will see a bar at the bottom of page,as soon as you log into the forum you can then use all the chat features.I have just set up to pay $10 a month for the company to serve this-I am looking at also ability to upload photos and create groups for mods etc,of course the more required the bigger the monthly cost-I need to montor this to see if this will be a benefit for all.

I will keep you updated with what I am doing,again thank you all for advice on what you need to make our experience of Syma helis get better.SF

How do I post them here ?? Sf

On the tool bar at the top click on embedded media,the only problem is you have to have a url to your photos,trying to change that but not easy

How about a place where we can talk to each other ?

There are some forums where this is an option, when we are loged in and have a special window at the top or bottom ??

Only as typing to each other where we could all see the chat ?

 

What do you think ?

Your command is my wish-lol Just trying out a chat program today on the blog-not fully all set up as is going to cost me minimum $10 a month,want to make sure before sign contract it works ok.Then one can have avatars and much more-give it a try!!
