Working on it.

After you log in I was thinking the log-in form would be replaced with some information like the number of unread private messages that you have. Perhaps your buddy list.

Any other ideas?

hondabuster,

It will go away. I'm programming as fast as I can!

Posted by: dbeck

I can build a little pop-up message that would come up and say, "you have a new private message" if you guys think that would be convenient.

I'm working on some cache stuff that will help the pages load faster too. Most of the advertising will go away at the end of December.

That might be a good idea to move the border to the right hand side. We'll see how many other people prefer it that way.



Posted by: dbeck

I'll see what I can do about moving it to the right. I think I may have gotten the scrolling issue fixed.

Posted by: dbeck

powerstroke01,

That's not possible, sorry.

However, by the end of December there will be less Ads and the "tough" link will go away too.

Posted by: dbeck

The Ads will load a lot faster now though. I've made some cool performance changes.

Posted by: dbeck

Yeah, I think it was a good change. Moving it to the right solved a scrolling problem I was fighting, too.


Posted by: DemonDS

I think it's pretty cool but I second the vote to have it moved to the right side isntead of the left side so it's more convenient to read the post's.

I might actually use the buddies feature now LOL.

Posted by: Eaglecollector

Much better on the right and I actually like being able to see who is online without having to open another dialog box. You should be able to get rid of the messenger link now. I think this one was a good change.

That is way better. I changed my color setting, and that made it easier on the eyes.

Anyone else getting a wide black band loading on the left side of the forums? It started as a small "x" with a lot of white space, now the x doesnt appear and the space is all black. Everything else seems to be fine, just a big spacer on the left that extends from the forum title header under the ads to the bottom line just above the "classifieds, atv forum, atvc mag, contact us" link line.

Dave playing with something maybe? Happens on both of my computers, havent changed anything since the last visit.

Aha, I see. Cool, I just hope that once the code is done, it will dissapear after we log in. I like the wide forum space instead of the menu on the left side like so many forums have (php's for example). Usually contains useless info or seldomly used links. Then again, I'm sure Dave can figure out a way to make it worthwhile as a permanent menu too.

So far it's a spot for more advertisements...

Posted by: maddog56

Looks better on the right. Boxes are a little screwy but I assume you're still in the process.

Posted by: nccracing

Two thumbs up for it on the right side ..Looks better

Posted by: ANNIHILATER

Its not THAT bad... When you get a new private messege does it pop up without having to refresh the computor?

Posted by: powerstroke01

Like woah.

Posted by: powerstroke01

How bout get rid of the adds for supporting members?

Posted by: RealtorRider

dbeck.....of course no one likes change, but I agree with the "put it on the right side" group

anyway, keep up the good work of providing us this forum

Posted by: ThrashAndCrashUntilItsTrash

I have to say....I dislike this left side add!!!!!! It takes up way too much room!

Posted by: blue250r

yep , i would rather see it on the right. or it means having to scroll to read the whole post, if ye see what i mean

I take it back i dont have to scroll any more, would still like to see it on the right though

Posted by: hondabuster

Maybe the top ten active threads?

It would be nice if the log in box, disappeared after we've logged in. It makes it seem like we arent logged in, when it there all the time


Posted by: chirochris

dbeck,

its not a bad idea, it just goes against all learning....needs to

be on the right..it feels to ackward


also need to be able to close it!!!!!!!!!

Profile of the day?

Posted by: BajaX04

I vote for the right side. I like the private message pop up idea and the buddies list showing who is online.

Posted by: BajaX04

while you doing such a great job.........can you put those top of the page ads in one row? I see one centered at the very top, then the forum tree then another row of ads. Just seems like you could put them all in one row and really save some layout space.

Posted by: bberck

Looks much better on right. Might just be my settings but would be nice if the navigation window was bigger or are my eyes just going bad lol

Posted by: aceisback

It's gotta go. Jeez, atleast move it to the right hand side so we don't have to start reading in the middle of the page.
If you're taking votes I say rid us of it altogether, but atleast move it to the top or the right hand side.
Thanks
