New Software/New Themes/new Layout..
« on: May 05, 2009, 08:15:15 AM »
OK, been thinking hard on updating this place to the newer software. It's still in beta but they are using it themselves and I'm not seeing any big issues except for those using "Internet Explorer 8" has some typing issues.

also, there is a new Column theme plug-in which would take a lot of the scrolling out. Have had a few people sate they'd like to see less and scroll less... this would allow for more, while scrolling less....

Take a look...

also there are like a million themes So when/if this happens I'd probably switch out the stock boring faded blue theme.

whatcha all think?
May your last ride not be, "your last ride"!!

One thing I keep forgetting to mention is when ever I click on My Messages and open a PM it goes right to reply with quote.

I would test it out but a little more colorful theme, that matches the logo would be cool.  The demo site is cool.

Also, maybe you want to cut back on all the sections/sub headings, too.  Start out small and when it gets bigger then branch it out.  Look at Crankfire.  Nate's kept it down to a minimum all these years.
