Indeed they weren’t. That was a lesson well learned lol.

i dont see why we couldnt use a pic of a badge on a car though as the logo. Its not a copy as such and therefore cant be copywrite

[MarcusN]

Yeah that would be a good idea but they probably wont allow it.

Just a quick update on this:

>Also on the Photos info section the vw syncro photo archive doesnt work – link – http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk/p.asp?p=4%2EPhotos%2F%5F

> And none of Chris’photos work – http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk/p.asp?p=6%2EPhotos%5FChrisS%2F%5F

> Also LD50’s photos dont work – http://www.vwsyncro.co.uk/p.asp?p=9%2EPhotos%5FLD50%2F%5F

Those are now all fixed, and I also fixed a bug where you could look at individual photos past the end of the list o/

[ld50]

Also jsut fixed the rest of the dud links you mentioned marcusn. The onyl one I left is syncromotive.com sicne that’s one of our members’ sites and I’m hoping it will be back soon

[MarcusN]

Thanks for that LD50, i am going to go and have look at those photos now.

[ld50]

I also recently added “keyword clouds” – i.e. a selective list of the keywords covered in each photo archive – if you see something you like you can just click and it’ll take you directly to those results.

I’m working on making it so that folks can add comments to the photos…not quite there yet though

Well, considering that I just renewed the syncromotive.com domain registration for another 9 years, I guess I need to find a permanent host and do something positive with it! []

The only reason that the site is down is because I never pursued a replacement host after the VWsyncro site was moved from it’s original hosting service. Syncromotive was hosted on the same system at the time and got lost & forgotten during the move.

I just need to find a low cost host and a few days of my time to set up an interesting site. My problem is that money is tight and time is tighter, so I doubt that I’ll be able to tackle the problem for a while.

My own Passat project had been on hold for quite some time while I attempted to complete some other automotive projects. Now even those projects have been put aside so that I can focus my efforts on more urgent issues around the home.

you should have mail…

Well something we’re doing has worked – we just jumped to Number One In Google for “syncro”, “vw syncro” etc

before we were listed first for “vw syncro” but not “syncro” on its own. o/

Google results will depend on what region you are from. I did a search on the following google sites and came up with different results for the word “syncro”

What is impressive is that vwsyncro.co.uk generally ranks quite high in the search results irregardless of what search engine you use.

google.ca
Google.com
google.co.uk
google.de

[ld50]

hmm I noticed my search results varied depending on whcih machein I was using – I must have some filtering on or off or something.

I’ve had an idea which I think I should be able to implment *reasonably* easily which should make posting pics easier. The plan is to tweak the forums to make it so that members can upload photos to the “everything” photos section directly from the forums (e.g. during reply). I’m not sure of much more than that yet but it should be able to give you a url to copy/paste into your forum post. It may only get activated once members have two star or something to prevent spam.
