Finished New Web Site Design

[Gunny]

OK, yesterday, I wrote that the new web site looked & acted awesome. Well, now I stand corrected ....... WOW !!!! ... Look'in Good Billy Ray !!!!!

Whoever put this together, IMO, did an outstandingly good job.

I do have one question .... do you plan on adding an option for more e-motion icons ?? Or just those that appear below ?? No biggie ... just wondering.

Later ...

Gunny, we are sure going to add more emoticons. Just give us a few days.

Thanks for the compliments. BusterW and I came up with many of the ideas. My hat goes off to Buster for his programming ability, his imagination and patience to put up with my very short attention span through this entire process. Buster literally did the majority of the customizations that make this forum funtion the way it does.

And, it's only going to get better!

any chance you can raise the Avatar size back up? Even remotely hosted avatars are restricted a lot...

Also, is there a way to change the skin??

[Gunny]

Been trying out some things on the new forum web site. Now I ain't bitch'in ... just mak'in some observations.
1) I assume the web site is still under construction, therefore, that may be what is causing the other issues, correct ?

2) If I click on any of the tabs (Garage, Gallery, etc) or I click on the most current thread tab (or whatever it's called) .... explorer crashes. Is that because of #1 ? This is what the error messages reads .... "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.atvtorture.com/forums/search.php?searchid=46"

However, the "UserCP" does open & a couple others.

3) It seems slow to load again ... same thing, cause of #1 I assume.

4) If I click on any of the advertisements --- Like the one with the Can-Am & the paddle tires ... it crashes. (See #2)
As a side note, as I wrote, I couldn't get much to work tonite, & I had to wait for an e-mail notice that Hebs had made a comment on this thread ... so the e-mail notification works !

5) I take it everything is starting clean ?? ... by that I mean, none of my PM's are there to view. Nothing under "Threads I'm Watch'in" & of course, since the garage & gallery crashed on me, I'm not sure about them.

6) I clicked on "Contact Us" .... nothing happened.

7) I clicked on the "Smiley Face" by each staff members name & call-sign (Nice Personal Photo's By the Way) ..... Internet Explorer crashed again. (See #2)

Now, maybe all this is something on my end ?? .... if it is, let me know so I can try & fix whatever I need to fix.

Anyway, just wanted to let ya know. And I assume again, a lot is still happening, & some testing is still going on. That's why I wanted to let you know about the above items.

GrizzlyWizard ... would you send me a PM ?? I tried PM'ing you, it was a No-Go ! Thanks.

Gunny,

WE are very much still under construction. Buster and I appreciate the input though. This has been quite the undertaking and there are many little nuisance things still hanging on us that we are crossing off the list as we get to them.

To put things in perspective. Buster an I began converting the forum last night at 2100. We had rehearsed the cut-over 2 times prior to actually commencing it. Guess what the 3rd times a charm. Nothing went right. I crashed on buster at 0230 to be able to go and do my real job at 0430. Buster continued working till 0400 and finally got most functionality restored.

We are close to completion, and many of the different functions that are going to dead pages are being used for our testing purposes. Hopefully things will be 95% complete in the next few days.

Be patient, this new setup gives us much more flexibility and ability to provide you guys with a better community.

There's a 9.8K limit on avatar size... I think ya meant to bump it up a lil higher...

[Koko]

Looking great guys. I'm really digging the new look. We're missing the "view unread posts" button.

[GRIZZLYWIZARD]

Avatars shoud be fixed.

I too am missing the view unread posts button. we will need to work on that.
