I'll work on it. I tried to add some additional smilies when I got the first request, but it looks like I'll have to get my forum development guy to do it for me.

I know that the forum is somewhat "bare" without any signatures or avatars, but I've been careful about the image of the forum since part of my "target audience" is Dealer Principals who may not have had much experience with Internet forums.

Thanks for the smilies link, I'll see if I can get them added.

I appreciate it, but I agree that we want to keep this a professional place where DP's will feel comfortable and welcome. It would be very nice to have their perspective on things.

Now I don't think smilies are all that important in the grand scheme of things, but they do lighten the tone at times. The important thing here is the information.

My apologies for getting sidetracked that fast, I want my posts to be informative and helpful, not juvenile garbage.

No worries, I like your smilies and plan to add them.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to explain to anyone else that reads this post why the forum has its current "look."

As the membership grows I want the site to evolve and show a little more personality. I just don't want to scare anyone off whose never been a member of a forum, MySpace, Facebook, etc.

And as before, I'm very happy to have you here and welcome you to our community.

Great site here! We need additional members with great input... and it appears our recent additions (newbies) are exactly that! Kewl!!!

Smileys, Avatars and Signatures are only icing ... this "cake" rocks just as she is.

Well thank you!

It's been awhile since I've been called a "newbie", but that's fun too.

Further greetings from Wisconsin! Those who know us, know that Miles and I are engaged.

Look forward to interacting with everyone.

I did F&I on the auto side for about 8 years, and then in Power Sports for about 2 1/2. Come to find that most of the "impressions" held toward PS from the auto side, are based on false assumptions. More on that later.

I've worked at dealerships for all the domestics, plus Honda, Toyota, VW, Hyundai and Suzuki re autos. In PS, Honda-Suzuki-Polaris.

Questions? Ask them. I'll answer.

Howdy, All!! Not from Wisconsin, but I can spit and hit it from here. Great forum X, thanks for a nice hangout for those of us who love the car biz.

I already know a few of you (Miles, JimD) and am hoping to meet many more.

I'm the F&I Director for a 7 store group in Northern Wisconsin and U.P. Michigan so I get around a bit. The running joke in the company is that my office has a windshield instead of a PC screen and a steering wheel instead of a keyboard.

Anyways.... HI GANG!!

Tom

JimD and Snowrider - Welcome to DealershipForum.com

It's great to have some new members to the forum, especially ones that aren't afraid to jump in and start sharing ideas and information.

It's all starting to make sense now......

I was reviewing some posts on the other forum and I kept seeing "I love you Jim" in Miles' signature.

OK, X-man has me set up now in the vendor section. Yes, I'm a vendor. Although I am a vendor with a decade "in the box", so I know where you folks are coming from.

Looking forward to the inter-action here!
