I think I actually set the max width to 600 pixels...big enough, but shouldn't run off the edge of anyone's monitors.

Still lots to do...

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Rob, is the little &quot;shout out&quot; box gone for good?
How about the &quot;Last read post&quot; link?
So far, so good!

I think you guys confused our beloved Stefano Bimbi with the not-so-luscious aging pole dancer <span style="font-weight: bold">Stefani Bimbo</span>. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Still not liking the change. Many boards have certain similarities that can be helpful in navigating for those of us that are computer impaired. This board included, until the change. Problem is, on the Net, is that way too many take for granted that we all possess their computer savvy when they set up these boards. Remember, many us us are merely car guys with a computer, and NOT a computer guy with a car. BIG difference. Similar issues make a lot of current car magazines suck. Yesteryear, real car guys wrote, nowadays, writers try to understand cars, and therefore write some hardy understandable jibberish. As a kid, I understood more of what I read in car magazines than I do now, after years of being a mechanic/drag racer. Sad. How will today's kids get an interest to carry the torch if they don't understand what they're reading? And please, before you go on as to how I should keep a Dictionary next to my Hot Rod mag.....education in ridiculous wording is NOT why I read those magazines. If I have to stop every tenth word to look something up, I lose interest in the story at hand. Therefore diminishing the entertainment I seek by reading magazines of that type. Rant over. Back to the original issue....remember, some of us are mere car guys with minimal computer savvy when you make these changes

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Geez, are you still bitching about the site changes? You obviously need some real problems in your life if this is all you have to complain about.

So, difficulties here..... diminish the distraction from the real problems. That make sense?

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

You are entitled to your opinion, and you have made your point several times. It is time to move on.

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Would you drive without a license? How about SCUBA dive without being certified?

I'm sure you did not always know everything you now know about cars. You had to learn it. Computers are the same way. If you do not want to learn, then stop complaining about not knowing how to use a computer.

I am patient with those who are trying to learn. Unfortunately, it sounds like you do not want to learn how to use a computer better and want everyone else to cater to that. Ignorance can be fixed by learning, being stubborn is a different ball of wax.

Jason </div></div>I've navigated my way through many boards, for many years just fine, until the change on this one. I'm very passionate about cars, and love discussing them and learning about them. But, when there's a change as radical as this one, it puts a damper on that. Does any of this make any sense? Or are all you guys computer whizzes? It's kinda like stopping an engine rebuild to take a 3 hour course on re-learning the use of a torque wrench

I thought the new format would eliminate any chance of a Virus! Maybe, it's just a glitch that will go away in time.

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Some new cool features. Seems like it will be for the good in the long run. Thanks to Rob for taking on this tedious task!

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Grouchy, if you keep up with the cursing you may may get an involuntary vacation from this site. You were warned a couple days ago about the language. This is not the HAMB message board.

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Groucho made an excellent point...and if you want him to move on, why keep adding to the thread?

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

I Like the look of the new site great work Rob

Now there is a real classy response.....I'm not diggin the new format either but will get throught it for sure. I'm thankfull for all the work involved with making this site, but guys should be able to express their feeling without that kind of response...Now back to CARS

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Excellent--threads with new unread posts are now highlighted in yellow! Small changes over time keep making this site better. I, for one, am now enjoying the new format and find it not much different than the old.

Keep up the good work guys!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Lookin good Rob, keep up the hard work. Changes are some times painful, but good in the long run. This site still rocks. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/youguysrock.gif[/img]

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Is it me or are the number of posts, especially in the for sale section down sigificantly since the double wammy of the for sale rules change and the site upgrade? Not knocking either, just my observation.

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

Seems like traffic is down, but now that things have been ironed out I expect things to pick up. I know I was staying away while things were in transition.

On a side note, I don't get the roll-over preview. Seems like it is totally redundant because it you already get the preview when you view the Active Topics search.

I thought the same thing.

Re: WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO THE SITE?
 

-----I see the same thing as far as the classifieds are concerned. The changes were well meant but unless something happens it looks like the classified section may be dead or dying. Back before the classified changes I used to tell many friends (not on this board) that they should list appropriate cars on the sight as I knew of no other sight that could almost guarantee a sale. The new rules unfortunatly sort of knock that idea out!........Bill S

It should still be true. The exact same audience [market] is here, as it was before...the only things missing are the asinine comments.

The irony of it is, some of those now crying the loudest about &quot;no replies&quot; are the same ones that forced us to go in that direciton.
