Smart dialup users like me surf with their images turned off.

What I am asking about here is the option of using [ img ] tags (yes, bbcode) in signatures. The options described on the signature page of the user cp says that [ img ] is not allowed. If that's the forums policy, I'm OK with that, but if they can be allowed, that would make me pretty happy (at least for a short time...).

Oops, didn't realize that wasn't available. It's turned on now.

[Mr. Sharkey]

Oh Yeah! Thanks! Let the slide show begin!!

Nice sig! I have a Triumph Spitfire car and trailer that resemble your set-up.

[Mr. Sharkey]

Cool. How many horsepower does your trailer have?

I still think the FORUM needs structure, with catagories for each component/task involved in an EV conversion. This way when a person has a question regarding about something in particular, it's easy to go to that topic and look through the postings, or post a question for an answer.

EV Formulas

Battery Education

PWM Controllers

Contactor Controllers

Rectactor Controllers

Motors

Chargers

Battery Balancers

Instrumentation

Open Source Projects

Video's of EV's, Projects in progress, DIY Videos, etc.

Schematics/Drawings

Haha, and therein lies the difference between your Rabbit and my Spitifire. My Spit is IC powered and the trailer is a race tire (plus what ever else you wanna bring to the track) trailer. As such, it has zero hp.

I agree, this site needs more categories. If I may suggest some slightly different category names:

+1 EV Formulas (or maybe "performance predictions" or "EV Calculations")
+1 Battery Education (or "Battery Tech" or "Battery Questions")
+.5 PWM Controllers
+.5 Contactor Controllers
+.5 Rectactor Controllers (what's a rectactor controller)
Maybe these 3 categories could be reduced down to a single controller category and then these 3 types of controllers could be described in the an FAQ board Or, maybe we could have a single controller forum with 3 sub-forums. I know V-Bulletin offers this option, but I don't know if they charge extra for it or anything like that.
+1 Motors
+1 Chargers
+.5 Battery Balancers
Could this be included in the "Battery Education.Tech/Questions" board? Or could this be included in the charger board. I guess balances are included in either situation aren't they? Maybe we could have a "Batteries, Chargers and Balancers" board. I actually think that this would make the most sense as part of the "Battery Education.Tech/Questions" board.
+1 Instrumentation
+.5 Open Source Projects (What's an open source project?)
+2! Video's of EV's, Projects in progress, DIY Videos, etc. (love the vids!)
+1 Schematics/Drawings

I'm also a new member.
How about a links section on the DIY site?
I can offer one up http://EVtransPortal.com
a site of which I'm the editor.
It's just a suggestion.
I'm also always open to suggested links for the site I edit.

I'm intending to add categorized links to the wiki soon. I want to make sure they don't turn into a total mess though. That helps no one.
