I would like to see the old blog setup come back.  Have not blogged since the change and not many others have either.

[Johnny D]

How about a Health / Diet / fitness for racers section?

Pre, during, post race, etc.

 

Like it, if you want it.

Well since  we now have a Charb free zone, can we have a Bench Raver and Mouse free zone to?      

[Caveman-kwebb99]

And since Charb quit the site can we rename his little corner the X-rated corner where there is no sensorship and only paying members may enter at their own risk...

Well, the last post there was five months ago -- seems like a good candidate for removal. If it was to be renamed instead, perhaps "Bottom of the Webb"?

Pretty cool how it only lets you vote once. Visibility isn't great, though. Actually, despite some improvements over time, this site is still one of the worst I visit from the standpoint of visibility. Check out http://www.mazdatalkforum.com/ for a sample of a site with great visibility.

Define "visibility" for us.

Not sure what you mean either? You have all the different colors etc you can use and themes?  I think my screen is more "visible" than the link?

You are not using the standard skin are you?

[Jim Boemler]

I presume I'm using the default skin. When I press "Change Theme" at the bottom of the page, it just takes me to the top of the page -- it doesn't change skins. If there's a better skin, let's make it the default. And of course fix it so the themes can be changed. As for visibility, most has to do with color selection. No, I have no signs of color-blindness, BTW. Use the reply box, for instance, and the font color is so light it's very hard to read. The whold damn site used to be that bad, but Caesar was kind enough to darken some of it last time I complained. It needs more (darker type) everywhere, but most especially in places like the reply box. With regard to the thumbs up/down boxes, the colors need to be darker, so the light digits will stand out.

[Jim Boemler]

Oh, another complaint. I formatted the post above as three separate paragraphs, but the program shows them as one. I used the "More Reply Options" box, which may operate differently from the reply box at the bottom of the page. It's still a program bug.

If you click the change theme at bottom left a pop up box of the skins I purchased should pop up? Should say from top to bottom... Original ( probably checked in yours) Infinite dark, Infinite and Mobile.   I use infinite as I used to have a hard time seeing quotes in infinite dark.   Click infinite to start. 

 

If you look on the top right of the screen, far right of top bar, you will see a multicolored square. Click it. You literally make the screen pretty much any color you like, as dark or light as you like it. Find a color you like and click save. 

 

I think Caesar put up in how to somewhere as well, if you have any issues, let me know

Just an idea... How about a engine/performance tab under the Garage area. For some to talk about engine questions/tips/info on general maint., good resource for new people coming in with alot of the same questions.

No, when I press "Change Theme", I don't get a popup at all -- I just get taken to the top of the screen, as I said before. It really does what I said, not what it's supposed to. Because of that, I can't change themes at all. As for changing the color, that's sorta cute, but it doesn't change the font colors, so they're still hard to read -- as you yourself said.

[Caesar Vielmas]

JB please post what browser you are using, what version, PC or mac what version of Win or MacOS. 

 

try to take a screen capture of what you are seeing.

[Jim Boemler]

Responded to your email, Caesar. Win XP with IE 8.0. No point in a screen grab -- all it shows is a normal web page. The link goes back to the same page I'm viewing. The link has worked properly in the past, but it's been quite a while since I tried it, probably before the last big update.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question ...

 

Last night I tried to post a new thread with six pictures.  Some of the pictures were above the size limit (249k?), so I went through a few iterations, each time reducing the picture sizes.  When I finally had all six small enough, the site seemed to think I had already uploaded too much and would not let me load them.  I decided to give up and retry this morning (thinking maybe something was cached).

 

Today it says: "You can upload up to 149.9K of files (Max. single file size: 149.9K)".

 

Is there a way I can reset my limit (since, AFAIK, I never uploaded/posted anything)?  Or, is there a better way to do it, such as put the pictures in my gallery first?

 

Thank you.

[Jim Drago]

Not sure you noticed.. 

Many new emoticons available. We also purchased three new skins that should be available shortly

The "Like" button used to list who "liked" a post but the new format just shows a total for likes and dislikes. Can you add back a list of person who clicked the "Like" or "Dislike" buttons?
