Damn & I was so expecting you guys to step up.:flame:jkg:rofl:

So we are going to see bigger font in the near future right?:dunno:

^^^^ ricer.

You dont need bigger font.

Well we've implemented some of the suggestions to try and make the site better. Some changes we did:

Reorganzied some sub-forums and consolated others, increased size of font, and lastly added a image resizer (Thanks Lord Nikon for the tip). Let us know what you think.

Ricer? Where?:gotrice:

I just joined the site and I really like the layout and everything, but one thing I noticed is that there is no search function. Having a search button makes it much easier to find specific info so that you don't have to dig through piles of threads and hope you find what you're looking for.

There should be a search button on the forum menu bar below the main site graphic and also on the home page there is a quick search on the left column under "Buddy List" and above "Forum Links"

Hope that helps

Haha I dunno if I was just completely blind before and missed it, but I see it now. Thanks!

No problem, it's all good!

Sorry to resurrect an older thread, but ive been spoiled over at myspecv.com and think it would be great to have a similar setup as theirs as far as functionality...this color scheme is great and the content is pretty great but it is still hard to navigate...and a chatbox would be great to keep people from having to post just to chat....at least thats my .02

Thanks Fry for the comment & we don't mind thread resurrection. I would actually prefer that over a bunch of duplicate threads about the same thing. Part of the reason I stickied this thread yesterday was to get it to appear up top so people could make ongoing recommendations that we could consider to improve this forum. Thanks again for your input.

not a problem...i intend to spend a lot of time on here so i figured i could try to make it better than them

Hey SpecRacer thanks for your suggestions. . . I checked out MySpecV and I think the Forums section is pretty similar to that. The Home pages is what is the big difference to me. We don't have a dynamic layout which is also different. As far as navigating, what can we do to make it better? When you first goto the site you have a "Site Navigation" box on the left and also underneath where you sign in. You can minimize any of the modules you don't care to see, like the "Recent Threads" section or the "Polls" box. We can add a chat or shout box module but we didn't want the homepage to be too busy (it's already busy as it is IMO)..

Thanks again for the suggestions..

hmmmm...since ive started to play around on the site it has gotten easier to use...i figured out i have to refresh more often to see when new posts are made...i cant offer anything constructive so ill adapt...

home page looks a bit cluttered IMO. Also, since you guys are using the "25 newest posts on home page" type thing... is there any way to filter out what sub forums you pull from... cluttering up the main page with every new post that was posted in the "RSS feeds" or "Other discussion" forums is kinda hosing the home page down. What people want to see on the main home page is mostly (IMO) "what have the vendor's come up with now", "has anyone cracked the ECU", "HYUNDAI now guarantees warranty even if you mod" etc. type of stuff.

Hahaha, if you need bigger font, Tufast, either put on your glasses or use the windows built in Magnifying glass :rofl:

Also you can hold down the CTRL key while using the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out :jester:

I'll just put on my damn glasses....Now if I could just find them...:rolleye:

I kinda like having all the new posts from all forums in the latest post because I actually do go through all the posts. I agree the front page can look clutered but again almost any vbulletin site to me can look cluttered it s just the way they have it designed.
