I have an unpublished hack that does this for 2.2.9.

This is how it looks in the main page.

http://www.ls1.com/forums/index.php

Look at the 3rd forum from the top (Featured LS1 Submissions). You can click on the hyperlink to see the currently featured car. Also look in the forum (http://www.ls1.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=141) for the red sticky thread (http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=243805).

I have made a form that allows registered users to upload up to 9 pictures. The form submission automatically creates a thread in that forum with the submitted info. The entries are queued and can be activated/modified from the Admin CP. Also the Admin CP interface shows you the entire gallery of featured entries. Inactive entries must be activated before they can be featured.

The only thing is that the currently featured page and the featured gallery is made specifically for my site. :(

good idea but just doesnt look right fue to it being just another forum catagorie, i want mine to look like a completly different section from the forums look

mate maybe if u installed that hack that can change the 1st post's postbit design you can achive a better look for your feature cars ? just my opinion cheers 4 your input mate

BTW, this is how the individual featured page looks like: http://www.ls1.com/forums/featured/index.php?featuredid=97

And this is the gallery: http://ls1.com/index_featured.php

Not sure what you mean by that. But the last 2 links I showed are part of the main web site. But all the information management and data entry is VB integrated. It's a little past my bedtime now but I'll make some sceen shots of the entry form and and admin CP interface and post therm here. ;)
