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.

Chris

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.

All is great Tony   :icon_thumright:

My son is home and daughter in law are both home for the holidays and they've brought my wife and I a beautiful and healthy granddaughter who is only three weeks old.  My son and I have been laying travertine tile throughout the house and we finally got a little snow yesterday which makes it feel a little more normal for this time of year.

I'd taken a week off of work to spend with my family and I figured that I needed to think of my Gran Sport family and give you guys a little upgrade for the new year.   :occasion16:

I hope the holiday has been just as good (or even better) for the rest of you and 2012 will be the best year ever.

Chris,

Thanks for upgrade and all the effort into the site.  Also - thanks so much for all the phone advice to me over Christmas.  Hoping to pick up my new baby tomorrow if all goes well.

Awesome Jimmy!

I'm looking forward to seeing it in person someday and maybe BPG this year in Columbus is the place to meet up?

Take care,

Chris
