Title: Tell us what you think of the new forum
Post by: RobbieMcVee on May 18, 2007, 01:24:24 pm: I would like to know if the forum is working for you, what you think about the layout and the functions, don't be shy - let me know what you think?

I've added a small poll just to give you some insentive.

The poll is multiple choice so add as many ticks as you like

Post by: Monk on May 18, 2007, 05:03:33 pm: Well, I like it. The main thing that was difficult to get used to coming from the other forum was the general layout. I fear change. However, I've got used to this and I like it - I might just make it a regular occurance! ;D

Post by: rhino on May 18, 2007, 05:58:40 pm: I think it is awesome, perfect in nearly every way. The only flaw imo is in reality totally unimportant on a car forum, namely the tiny smileys ;D

hi Karl,
changing to "classic view" is a slight improvement.

hi jeff.

resize your intended signature picture to comply with forum upload limits: hopefullt Robbie can confirm the maximum image dimensions?

iirc u have created an account on www.photobucket.com to host your images?

if so copy the image code tags:

Code: [Select]
[img]www. my photobucket.com/jeff/signature [/img]
of your (resized? 150x600 ) image in to the allocated space in your forum profile. A per the bottom(s) :D screen capture ;)

Also, FYI, if you go into your photobucket account, into desired 'album' and then click to display the image you want to you can resize from there ;) for website/email sizes 8)

Dave, I found that, for now, disabling the quick reply box allows you to use the quote. It's in your profile setting somewhere.

Cheers
