How do I create a Member Journal?

1) Register or Login;
2) Click this link to start your SoCalSubies Member Journal;
3) Name your member journal by filling in the 'Title';
4) In the message, area, tell us the story about how you came to own your Subaru, share pics of it, and continue to update the thread with your modification wish list (wheels, upgraded suspension, or performance parts) and tell other members about your experience as you spend more time with your Subie.

How can I feature my member journal below my avatar?

How do I feature my member journal in my postbit detail below my avatar?

1) Go to your member journal and find the complete URL. Identify the thread number.

Here is an example URL:

PHP Code:

 
http://www.socalsubies.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138 


The thread number for the above URL is 138.

2) Go to your User CP and click Edit Profile.
3) Scroll down to the section titled, "My Member Journal" and paste the thread number (not the full URL) into the field below it.

Once you paste the thread number and save the changes, then you will notice that your car (as listed below your avatar and above "Fav Mod" in the post detail) now links to your member journal.


To discuss this , please do so in this thread:

How do I feature my favorite image in the Member Journal Forum?


The image that appears next to a thread in the member journal forum is a thumbnail of the first image attached to the first post of that particular member journal thread.

If you are creating a member journal for the first time, you will notice that you can attach files in the Additional Options are when creating your member journal thread. If you want to take advantage of this feature for a member journal that you have already created, EDIT the first post in your member journal and then click GO ADVANCED. You can attach the image to your post. After you click save, the server will automatically resize the image and display it as a thumbnail.

You can update this attachment any time to reflect your new modification, paint job, or graphics.
