Suggested convention for those who post trip reports-

[Greg]

I added two new post icons:

Camera:

I also edited this thread to include the camera so you get a feel for how it looks. Thoughts?

I like it, now all you need to do is get people to use it. Since most people don't follow any convention at all when posting a TR that might be a bit difficult.

BTW, can mere mortals change the icon of a thread once it's posted? I remember trying to do so once and not being able to...

Definate start to let people do what they originally wanted.

Agreed. To be frank, I am not a fan of such conventions. Though if this is going to get people's you know what's in a bunch, Mods can always edit posts I assume. Then again, I am of the disposition that I read words as well as look at pictures for any reports that I am interested in reading.

Agreed. It's there if you want to use it. I know some folks hate to follow a specific format and that's cool...

ok but now you need to add some kind of steezy icon for gss trip reports.

I like the icons a great deal Greg, but were you going to modfiy the sticky at the top of the TR section to make members aware?

Or maybe post a new sticky about it in the TR section so it grabs peoples' attention?

BTW, thanks.

Great Idea...Great Icons.

Most of the time I look to TR just for the ski pr0n, and I know I'm not alone, so I'd appreciate it if it were easier to know where the pics are and where they aren't.

Who's with me?

Nah that sound pretty anal..I really don't care if it's pictures and text or text only..I read all the TRs..even if I'm not going to the ski area..because I like to read about others ski experiences..Just my 2 cents..BTW 98 percent of my TRs are non-picture text only since I don't like to stop and take pictures and don't like the extra bulk of a camara in my jacket pocket..
