I'm not saying that this place is "BAD"... just letting you know what I did...
I used to come here all day long, and would NOT go back to that "other" forum... I even took the time to figure out how to get a picture of the car in the sig... This place was VERY new (I was like the 100th to sign up)... it looked great, and had lots of room to grow.... The video section I figured was a great idea, and I could not wait untill I went to road america to upload my run from there....
Then things changed....
The forum went from a nice layout with options, to a nice layout that is "harder" to use....
UBB does not work in a sig (which I found most forums use) the buttons that made life so easy, to make text bold, insert a picture, insert a smile with a click of a button, and you did not have to remember all the code's and the biggest problem...
right now I can not see what I'm replying to, without clicking the "Topic Review"...
Again, I'm not saying that its "bad" but I do find it harder to use, not as clean, etc... the "old" message board, or 1st message board was like using Microsoft Word...
Plus I get this little "Junior member" next to my name... because I do not post garbage like...
"I hear ya!"
as a reply... I only speak up when I know what is going on... a star system or something, who cares... I guess it's the word "Junior" and might also be personal to myself... I'm "Only" 25...
Nothing would make me happier to see
www.zo6vette.com to be bigger and better than
www.zr1.net I only say that for if we do get better, then that means that the founder's of this place did it!... and good for them. which means someone like me only has to goto one place to get the information about the car they are looking for.
we need a "How to" section...
How to prep your Z06 for roadracing
How to jack up your Z06 (Might seem easy to you, but I had to rig something just to get my jack to FIT under the front of the car)
How to change your oil..... etc etc etc
Many of us have Digital Camera's of some sort, and could make this place awesome...
I took the time to take pictures of a trunk lid that I put in my trunk... I did not like how it fit, I took it out, I took pictures of the gap's it left, how it fell apart when I did take it out etc etc... I did not do that for fun, I did that for this place... to try and do my part...
the big turn around for me was when the mod posted a thread that pointed to the "new" message board... there was 20 reply's that said "Looks good" or "I like it" I posted a reply asking what happened to the neat little buttons that made life easy, and let me do things here that I can't do "Over there" (that is HUGE, something I can do here, but NOT there!!!)... never got a answer, and next time I came here... it looked like this.
This is the 1st time I have been here in about 1 week...
again - this is NOT a slam of any sort.. I think what they are trying to do is GREAT... both for us, and them... its a win / win situation...
I do however feel that it is very important to express ourself and what is good / bad to a better degree that "I like it"
hope that I did not offend anyone, it was not the intent.
