    Forum Upgrade

    Ok Lou is paying me off big time to upgrade SCS.

    Those of you on my site stop by a take a look at the new vbulletin software.

    http://www.highperformancestangs.com/forums/

    Let me know about things you like or dislike as the same software version will be coming to SCS soon.

    Not a fan of the new vbulletin look / feel for some reason. What the heck do I know though, my favorite site is still running UBB Classic :D

    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!

    Not sure how that site will translate to this site, but I like SCS way better the way it is now. It's alot easier on the eyes.

    We need to upgrade, our stuff is out of date, the calendar doesn't work, we don't have a garage/timeslip area, ETC. The layout we have can remain closely the same I believe, right, Jeff?

    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.

    i like how the site is now but if it does change maybe think about putting a message board on top of the site like how buckeyestangs has theirs, if its even a option?

    Everyone, you need to keep a site like this up to date with the latest upgrades. Sometimes its just better to get a better program rather than trying to update the one you have. Lou and his web designer will put together a site im sure everyone will like. :)

    Right! There are a lot of security holes in the old program to think about as well.
