First -
Welcome to Reutterwerk!
If this is your first visit, please take a moment, poke around a bit and just enjoy! As well, there are some features on this site that are different than many other forums you may have visited, so in a nutshell, here is a short list...
BLOGS - as a registered Member of this site, you can create, edit, syndicate your own blog;
Reutterwerk Garage - We'd love to see your rides, so post them up and when you do, a link to your Garage will appear under your avatar;
New Posts - Since my servers store your Cookies, you can log on from multiple systems (home & work & etc.) - and posts you have read from any system will be reconciled;
Comprehensive Ignore System - Found in your User Control Panel (bottom left) - you can ignore people, posts, threads and entire forums;
Multiple Styles - At the bottom-left of any page, you will see multiple styles available - some with a click-drop menu system (menu option). Some are pretty cool and there are "intelligent" versions for the iPhone, Blackberry & other PDAs - and you can go back to the "default style" from any of these Mobile Device Styles;
Social Groups - After a certain number of posts, you can create your own Social Group, and make them "Public" or by "Invitation Only". Further, if you have a significant number of Members in your group, you can then create your own Sub-Forum which will appear in the
Member Created Communities Area - and
if your Group is by Invite Only, will NOT appear to those who are not invited or Members;
Off-Topic - if you don't see the Off-Topic Forum, simply
go here and request an invite! You'll need three posts or more to receive an invite;
Product Ratings & Reviews - Reutterwerk Member submitted product ratings and reviews. You can add products to be rated as well as to rate and review products others have submitted.
Mechanic & Shop Ratings - Have a good experience with a shop or service? Share your experience in this Reutterwerk site!
As well - if YOU ENTER YOUR ZIP CODE - it will tell you how far that shop is from you....
Albums - Of course, you can make your own photo albums - and as well, designating them as Public or "Private". Private Albums can only be viewed by your designated "friends" who are also registered to the forums..
Advanced Photo Albums - Integrated into the Forum software and login are "Advanced Photo Albums" which allow for more advanced Album features and for more advanced users. Of course - those pictures can, as well - be linked to your posts and shared with your friends who do not need to be registered to the Reutterwerk Forums;
Industry News Feeds - Real-time News Feeds from major news providers;
Vendor Introductions & Products For Sale - A dedicated forum where any business can introduce both themselves and their product lines
