Title: This group or Facebook
Post by: Charlie Gotta on April 03, 2019, 08:15:29 am
I believe this platform for the LTV group is much better for many reasons over Facebook. I understand why some people enjoy social media. Facebook and Instagram and others certainly have many good qualities  But I would rather have a dedicated web site than being diluted in the Facebook platform. Facebook like Instagram's agenda is to hook you into their site as long as possible, that is how they make money. They take the information your looking at and sell that info to their advertisers.  If there are others that agree and you're also on facebook perhaps a mention about this site from time to time on the LTV group would help to promote this page.

I agree this format is better for organizing ongoing discussion topics.

This has been a slow growing site. Just look at total members on this site
versus  Facebook LTV group.. I believe if Facebook LTV group would try this site they would see the benefits.. There are some staunch    Facebook LTV users.

Who is the admin?  Perhaps they could contact LTV and have LTV send a mass email to owners notifying them about this NON-LTV associated website that could benefit owners.

I also much prefer this format to FB - so much easier to search for information and to have similar information in one topic.  I think the FB group has pretty much become a collection of personal travelogues for destinations and less about the LTVs themselves.

It sure seems a shame.  I have a few items that I could use some help on and Facebook doesn't seem like the place.  Searches may find a post regarding an item but actual help isn't necessarily found - just opinions.  And I'd rather add/fix things myself as opposed to driving 5 hours to a dealer after setting up an appointment weeks out.  I could fix it with a little help and spend more time enjoying the RV.

Yes much easier to use but I have not figured out how to post a picture here..
It keeps kicking out my photos, is it my iPad?
I reduce the resolution way down but still won’t post.

What are the steps you're doing to try posting the photo? 

I use a laptop, not an i-device, but this format is similar to other forums I follow.  The default "quick reply" might not let it work, but if you do "preview" to preview your post and then scroll down to where you can "Drag and Drop" or "Select", that might help.
