    Maybe I'm dense, but I can't figure out how to add or change pictures to the My Garage slideshow for my cars. I can add updates, with a single image per update down at the bottom, but I can't see how to adjust the pics shown in the big window with the left/right buttons.

    Thanks!

    The update images are a little spotty as it relates to the garage overview. I haven't figured out why some seem to go into the garage slideshow and others don't, but there's only space in the administrative "back end" of the site for 5 photos in a garage. I think the site is adding one from each update to the main garage slideshow, but I'm not exactly sure.

    We're working on a comprehensive solution to this and many other site mysteries. It's still a few months out, but it is definitely coming.

    It's been a long time now since I built it, but as I recall, it simply grabs all images you've posted for the car (when originally entered plus updates) and cycles through the lot of them. That's as I recall, anyway.

    Tom, it's a pretty simple function that should make perfect sense when you look at it. I believe it's probably in rides/templatetags.

    There are no mysteries, only things that are not yet understood. This system is actually much more straightforward than most. You could be stuck trying to troubleshoot a Drupal site (like I am). THAT'S pain.
