This thread is for discussion of the new forum upgrade.
If you have any questions, comments, problems, find a bug, something doesn't look right, etc., please post them here. Current issues that I can think of now:
I'm sure there are more, but I'm on the end of a tiring, stressful, five-day, caffeine-fueled, sleep-depriving programming binge, so my mind is a bit fried at the moment...I'll be online for a bit longer and then I am going out to skate and then getting some much needed sleep.

I didn't even realize that this functionality was available yet. Pretty cool though. I don't know if you guys have discovered this, but you can easily quote stuff using the fast reply if you simply select some text in the page, and then roll your mouse over the fast reply's text area and then click the "Add Selected Text As Quote" button. There's quite a few neat little enhancements like that. Oh, and sorry about the site being down for about an hour and a half this morning. I had issues with my host changing something, and it caused the forums to not work. But it's fixed now. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

The little tiny icon used in bookmarks and stuff still has som white pixels on the side.
You ARE saving the logo as an .ai file now, aren't you? Damn you Coomer. Also.. I just don't like the 6GCELICAS(sandbox text)FORUMS!!!!! logo at the top of the forums... we're cooler than that yo! We're sleek and sexy. This post has been edited by shid: Nov 14, 2005 - 3:06 PM |

QUOTE nice job. when you click on somones name in the profile, it dosnt take you to their garage like it used to. do ebay links work correctly now? Probably because the main site isn't up yet. Test: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Multi-Layer...013159849QQrdZ1 Edit: Doesn't look like ebay links work just by copying it out of the address bar and pasting it into the reply box. Still have to use this format: CODE http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8013159849

Ebay links don't work when you just paste the link into the reply box and let the board automaticly turn it into a hyperlink.
Using the URL tags in any reply box works ok it's just when the URL tags are left out and the board does it automaticly that the links get messed up. This post has been edited by WannabeGT4: Nov 14, 2005 - 5:02 PM -------------------- Project ST204.5 99.88946% complete... |

Great job with the site Christian.
I have a suggestion though; on the forums/ page have the text under 'forced induction' and 'meet/event discussion' links skip to the next line earlier so that it does not run into the washout pics. I think I can speak for everyone here when I say thanks tons for putting your time, effort, and money into this site. It is much appreciated

^ all thoes links worked for me?
an idea, to keep up with the cool pics on the main forums page, for Website Discussion you could have a screen shot of the main forums page or any of the sup pages. and for off topic you could have a photoshoped colage pic of a few coming things bought up in off topic, like a video game/ school book/ diff car/ pc. -------------------- |
