Oh! and Thanks!

Seems to be working again, Brent, but still something going on. For instance, I noticed Tech's message about Lost Posts so I checked his posts this morning and it says his count is now 10, and if I hit "Find all posts" for Tech it stops at 500, I think 20 pages. Could be still building, but your "Fix" of his count did not take.

different for now. Will get used to it

Site looks nice, I like it!

I am gone for a week and wham, a major change. I wasn't sure I was a the right place at first. As they say, the only thing constant in life is change. This is still the greatest site on the web. Thanks for letting us use and abuse your site Brent.

With the change can I go to photobucket and just copy and
paste to a thread??.

I got a bunch and tomorrow in Roch,NY is a mid 70's spring rainy day.Good day to go to the library to post them.

i knew about the changes from the emial brent sent me but i have only just checked it out now. im sure that if we give the right suggestions in the right manner he will try to keep everyone happy-which is near impossible.

we dont build cars over a weekend-well most of us anyway- so im sure it will come up ok, mite just take some time.

Another thing i have noticed is the posts are very large-there is a big space between the posters avatar,details etc. and the actual text box-makes the pages alot bigger than before.

Not complaining just some feedback on my first impressions

the page numbers extend past the page border- evident on 3 word story.

and some of the banner ads in between posts do the same-when the recent posts bar is open, is fine when closed.
The faceebook like button and in particular the text after it seems to be in a random possition- its on top of a box line.

I would like to make a couple of suggestions about the front page. I have no idea what a Recent Activity Widget is. How about switching that and the Recent Forum Posts area around so the new new posts are on top. I really like seeing the random gallery pics on the front page. I also really like the recent video area. But, how about replacing the Poll Widget with links (maybe thumbnails) to new gallery updates?

It appears that you cant bookmark the "today's posts" page since the URL moves as the day changes.
Am I wrong or just old?
Dont answer the last question.

Have you got a thing that auto fixes spelling and grammer in your new bag of tricks?

Well we could convince Tech to write them all again I am sure he would , Maybe add a little more to it also since his knowledge base is so expansive !!!!

Hey Brent I wanted to thank you for making changes as we have suggested. The site is growing on me, but a couple of things if I may:
I am often getting a page that says No Packets Sent.... when I am going from one page to another. I am using Firefox 4.0.1 if that means anything to you.
And I think one comment I have heard often is the colors are not eye friendly, so I suggest a another style/theme would that the entire page is all white. No colors except the graphics and the borders. The posts should still be in their own outlined boxes. I would call it a work friendly style.
