COTM

I cant seem to post this to the website questions area so I will post here..

I was June 2016 COTM and my worst pic was posted to the from TGO webpage. Can it be changed to the one that shows on the winners list thread? - this one!

Re: COTM

Well that's a first.

I pick what is supplied in the thread. I don't pick the first, last, etc., but try to pick different ones so that the front page doesn't get too boring of seeing all the same views. Seeing a slight top, rear side, angled, picture had a different touch and still shown off the car appropriately. The one you want looks like a tree is growing out of the hatch!

Changed it.

Re: COTM

Well this is pretty cool!
I would think that the COTM winner should be able to pick the pic they think best shows off their car. But JT brings in a valid point on the "same views" on the TGO home page.

This could be a great thread for COTM winners to 'request' a certain pic. More labor for JT tho...

Re: COTM

hey, sorry about not responding to your PM before. i saw it. meant to address it. then got sidetracked and flaked. sorry. i'm usually not a flake.

i was going to recommend to you that you PM JT about the issue, but as of right now, it looks like JT already took care of it.

just out of curiosity though, could you post up a picture here of the original picture that you weren't happy with. i just want to see that picture.
