Forum Upgrade

[wick]

Then we can add Car of the month and trader feedback and such.

I have no plan to add side banners, and all the other stuff. Maybe one small google bar in the middle of the posts to generate a few bucks for the site to recoupe the expenses incoured for these upgrades. Mark (U1ARUNIT) brought up another good point, the security issues with spam bots keep me checking every registration before letting them in. The other plus is easier picture posting and auto resizing.

Good idea here...

Trader feedback would be cool like mentioned above.

The layout we have can remain closely the same I believe, right, Jeff?

Yes for the most part.

[Sonic03snake]

Yes for the most part.

How about the trader feedback?

Lou, it's your little part of the world but ....

I don't see those features making it worth dealing with a site like the link provided as an example. I would never go there .... site loads headers, crap ads, banners, etc, then the forum... so much crap there you have to scroll down a page to even find the forum. I hope that isnt what is planned here.

When members register on my site the banners get smaller and you don't have to scroll down to see the forums. All that crap helps pay the $1,500 yearly bill.

Everything about it appears ugly. Layout, bigger fonts are terrible, ugly colors, I realize thats stuff that can likely be changeg though. Don't like how the the page is "centered" so to speak. The SCS we have now is perfect in my opinion, simple, basic, easy to view, straight to the point!

Blue Carbon Fiber is Ugly? Bigger Fonts??? Do you hear that Lou he says the font is too big after you told me the opposite. Maybe Lou needs glasses. LOL

They do have a mod for that.

This works well on killing the spammers.

I think a software upgrade is an excellent idea! It doesn't necessarily have to change the look and feel of this site. It's worth it for the security upgrades alone but the time slip and jpeg resizing, amongst other features, would be nice features to add. I post a lot of pictures on here, resizing to post is a real pain in the a$$!

looks like buckeye stangs, not a good idea

This site is getting updated. This was not a should it be updated thread. I am looking for feedback. What do you not like about buckeye stangs?

This software is a few years old. There has been a ton of security updates since I lasted updated things here. A hacker gets it and its all over site gone, everyones emails and password exposed, then a bunch of work to get things restored. This version of vbulletin will eventually become unsupported (no updates) and it will be updated to the latest version.

We can add all that stuff.

how about a way to change the title of a thread you posted?

for example i posted about selling my suspension as a whole but changed my mind and would like to change the title to parting out suspension etc etc...

That possible?

That can be done.

Keeping it up to date with the years a bit and having a newer fresher look wouldn't be that bad of a thing to do.

Im not much for changing things that work either but we need to do this for preventative maintainence.

[97LaserRed]

Can anyone explain the reputation points to me and what they do and/or used for?

I never realized it would make the site that much more protected. If thats the case then I don't blame you at all.

I guess after a while you get used to something and don't want change...
