New Forum Look

kwilford · 06-23-2005

I like it. But improvements can always be made. One thing, re-name the "General Discussions Forum" to "The Lounge", and then have the sub-Forum called "General Discussions" (where the threads all are), versus having the threads under the main heading. If that makes sense...

Done!

We are open to other suggestions for improvements.

I was hunting around the other day and noticed there is no real wagon forum. I know it shares alot with the 1900 ascona and kadette but not all of it crosses over. Keith, Gary, I know you both have ones so I was just wondering. I was wanting to ask a question about glass compatability and didn't know where to put it since the wagon isn't listed.

i think the new look is a major improvent. 2 thumbs up from me

My thoughts... Wagons are just different body styles of a particular model. So post to that models forum. We may be consolidating some of the lesser used forums in order to make site navigation easier.

Gary;
Is there anyway to make the "Search" window more prominant? Something that will make it stand out and get more attention so it can be used more?

simplemind7 · 06-23-2005

whats changed? it looks the same on my computer

simplemind7 · 06-23-2005

nevermind, it suddenly changed...

I realize that I am a new guy to this, but I find the new structure easy to follow and may a lot less confusion when trying to post

I find the site to be amazing and it has helped me through many little issues in the last few weeks.

I do agree that the search should more visable.

Baz - Do you mean the menu that is in the upper left of the main page or the search block in the center?

baz · 07-20-2005

menu box upper left this one

I am new to this site so probably don't have a say here. I find it a lot easier to not log in in order to see today's posts. I log in to see see pics or respond other than that it seems easier to just lurk.

spdkilz02 · 07-20-2005

on my computer it saves my password and sn, and logs me in everytime i come to the site, i never have to log in anymore.

simplemind7 · 07-20-2005

thats how it works for me too, just click "remember me" (i think it says) and it will log you in everytime you come onto the site

spdkilz02 · 07-21-2005

nice fix on the menu, alot easier to read the writing now that it is bold.
