Hey JonelZ,

I'd really like to see you switch to the software that ScionLife.com uses for it's forums...one of the smoothest and easiest to navigate websites I've seen in terms of forums...but otherwise keep up the good work...and if u need a mod lemme know...

That site uses phpBB which is a free and somewhat venerable software. We use the top of the line VB software (costs an arm and a leg) on here.

If you can point out specific features that make that site smooth and easy to navigate, I can make those changes here. Thanks for the input!

When are you picking mods and stuff?? I volunteer!!!

When the site become some active, I’ll pick those that contributed the most :) Hang around :)

Personally I hate big avatars. I know what its like for all those using dialup. It sucks to load page after page with the same avatars and wait half a minute to load all those pics.
I think 100x100 is perfect, but that’s just me :)

PS: Thank goodness for high speed :cool:

I think that the forum structure would be better if the forums were scaled to the page width +/- 5%, this would allow pictures to be displayed without stretching out the structure. Not sure if ads were in your future and you were planning on having them on the sided of the forums.

Just my .02

Also noticed that the gallery link does not work on the top of the page as well as a couple of the other links. Just trying to help.

I am still working on the gallery. It will be online in a few days.
Same with the other links that are not working at the moment.

As far as the with structure, are you saying to make it so its always 5% from the edges of the screen?

In your top table statement, add a width="95%"

ok jonelz I have another idea from ScionLife for the site and let me know if it can be implemented...

but basically a car registry...and a custom graphic for each model and color right underneath the name but different from the avatar

this way we can all differentiate who owns what model...

i.e.

LS and then all the colors and one for custom
1LT and then all the colors and one for custom
2LT and then all the colors and one for custom

I've attatched an example from one of my posts

Yes. Not like the others which are more or less discusion on theory and what we would all like to do to our HHRs but for things that have been done and how to do them. I would contibute when ever possible as would many others I'm sure. We all have plans but lets have a section for action.

I like the TSB list idea also. I have already had one fix. Something with the fuse box. I cant recall what it was. I went to the dealership for an unrelated body issue and my dealer let me know.
