Suggesting a new section

Post by GEJ »

Couldn't sleep and I was on a RV site.Thought to myself there a lots of members here who are campers and use their Astro's in part of their camping.So the question was why am I going to two sites when there is tons of campers here?.Could I start a thread in the GD section?.I guess I could,but wouldn't it be cool to have section here?.I think there would be tons of good info that would come out of it.Just my two cents. 8-[

I just thought what with conversion vans,Tampers,V8 conversions for towing pop-ups,this would combine a common interest in one place on this site where members could post on one section where they have been,what they have done with their vans,etc.Not on point with what this site is about,but still lots of campers.

New sub forum

Zam the new sub forum (out doors) when I try to view it gives a permission error. Say I do not have the permissions required to view any topics in that forum.

When i checked, it looked like you did not set any permissions. Since it was an all access forum I just mirrored the permissions of the general discussion forum.
