Multiple cars in profile

I have seen several members with multiple cars listed under their avatar. I always thought they just put a lot of spaces in and filled in the rest of the info in the reansmission field, but when I tried doing that, it didnt work. Is there some sort of invisible character you have to use, or what?

In CaysEs, all he did was use the correct amount of ····· in the transmission field after 700r4, then added the Car/Engine/Transmission and their appropriate info. You can do it without the ···· that CaysE used.



i actually think Iroc should put size limits in the fields. You can easily abuse this and screw the format. But that is not my decision.

i would then correctly add the extra fields for people who do own multiple F-bodies (such as myself) and make it optional. However, TGO may be waiting to do such when they upgrade to vB 3.x.

Correct as always, JT.

And for the record, I was not the first person to do this.

Good point, there is a member here that has 4 or 5 cars listed, and it takes up tons of room to list them all out everytime she posts.

Not a big deal though, just a scrolling annoyance.
