Thanks guys, I have some more tweaking to do.

Dec. 28, 2011 marks the seventh anniversary of the site!  I have a little idle time this week so I figured I'd try to get caught up on some things around here.

I think you'll find the performance much better and the overall feel of the site improved.

Please message me with any problems or suggestions related to the changes.

the look is great, but (always changes the direction of the conversation) I would like to see the little stars by our names return. The little boxes just don't have the same visual impact. Not a big deal, just a surprise to see them gone. I like the overall look and I love the red Gran Sport in the upper right corner as much as the one on the log in screen! I have always liked the front end shot by each category, especially when the are shown lighter to indicate a new post.

Thanks Chris! You are appreciated.

Kurt,

Thanks for the suggestion and now the stars are back and improved.   :blob7:

I tried using a Buick emblem or a Rallye rim but the image at that size didn't look really good.

Enjoy and Happy New Year

Chris

Like a fine wine... we just get better and better with age. 

The members are what make the site great  :notworthy:, I just provide the "clubhouse" to hold the meetings.

The old gallery had pictures of several 65 GS NOS accessories.

Did we loose them or have I just not looked hard enough yet?

Things are really looking good.

I'm still sorting that one out.   :confused3:

I'm sure that I have all the pictures backed-up so it's now just a matter of getting everything uploaded and sorted back into the proper places.  I'm back to work this week so it might be a little while, but I promise to get everything back where it belongs soon.
