stuff about autopendium

One of the most popular parts of Autopendium is the way it shows relevant YouTube videos right there on a model’s page:

Well, we’ve updating the how this happens under the hood a bit, with the result that we’ve been able to add a couple of new features. First, you can now see all the videos for that model, not just the first 10. Just click on the more videos link and it’ll scroll you through them batch by batch.

The second thing we’ve added is the ability to add your favourite YouTube car videos to your profile page. Rather than have you submit this info all over again, we’ve made it easy. You just edit your Autopendium account and enter your YouTube id.

Then the videos you’ve marked as favourites on YouTube (and that are in the Autos category) will show up automatically.

And this is what mine looks like.

We’ve got a few more tweaks to the profile page coming soon, and some more video functionality too, so stay tuned.

Cheers

At the request of several users (redranch and dustyrumble), you now have an alternative to deleting your car (and its running report entries and photos) when you say goodbye to it, whether it’s to a new owner, or to the great garage in the sky.

Simply click on ‘edit vehicle details‘, then click the checkbox that says ‘I no longer own this vehicle‘, enter the date you got rid of it, and that’s it.

The vehicle will now show up in a separate section of your personalized home page just for vehicles you’ve previously owned, but you’ll still be able to see all the posts and photos, as before.

Incidentally, you can also use this facility to add other cars you once owned. Just make sure when you add the vehicle, you click on the ‘I no longer own this vehicle‘ checkbox and add the approx date you stopped owning it.
