    To follow Angus on a couple of those, I understand why forums like to have a short edit window, but it is embarrassing to see a dumb typo the next day that you can't fix.

    I'd say my number one request would be a larger PM mailbox. Other than that I think everything is fine the way it is...can you tell this is my favorite forum?

    I agree Mike. The reason for the short window of time for editing a post goes back to 2009 when we had a few bad apples on the forum. Now that they are gone I've already increased the time limit to an hour and we're open to suggestions like the title of this thread states.

    How about an easier way to post pictures? The current 16 step process, salt over the shoulder, click your heels like Dorothy, etc just isn't working for me - literally. Could be user error too - don't rule that out

    A post without pics isn't much of a post IMO.

    I would like to see regional sections as Autopia has, but much more active.
    I'd like to see the "how to make money" section grow, when I started my company that was my #1 resource but now I see a lack of organization (due to users).. everything seems to go into "Detailing 101" or "The Water Cooler." It would be great, I think, if professional detailers could talk about the differences between AG products and different brands of production quality products (PRO, Car Brite, Auto Magic, etc). I also would like to see more discussion on marketing and business management.
    Like everyone else, I would like a larger mailbox.
    I find the picture uploading process to be buggy and complicated. Maybe it's because I use a DSLR but it never works for me, and lately the upload page wont even load. I've just resorted to cell phone pics and using tapatalk.
    I'm glad there isn't an AG Facebook group because I've seen the damage that has done to so many other forums. The beauty of a forum is the organization and ability to search old topics and quality comments. I love the quick responses you get on FB but it's not worth the trade off, especially with a great forum like AGO.
    Overall my biggest gripes are the picture uploading process and lack of user organization (I know it takes a lot of time but maybe we could get the mods to move posts around to the correct categories, I see a lot of posts in random categories that should be in a Brand category or How to Make Money Detailing, etc)

    Here's to making 2016 the best year yet!

    Honestly I am overly happy with the way this forum operates and the way it displays. Not to mention the upgraded avatar size. (which I have not gotten too yet.)

    The first thing that popped in my head when I saw the thread was the first three things mentioned by Ian. That's why I simply agreed.

    I understand the time limit in place and think its a good idea not to extend it past the current 60 minute window.


    Either way, Im happy to be at home here.
