I am giving my official "ATABOY" stamp of approval

I like the new changes

Thank you

Working on the header. Should have something for you all to see in a couple days...

Site looks a lot softer than before. The only thing I can suggest to add would be a direct link from the posters' thread, outside the thread box to his or her Photo Gallery.

There is one pretty large site for Gasers that has this feature.

Do you have a URL so I can see what you're talking about? Sounds interesting. I have a link to member's photo galleries in their profile, but not in threads. I would like to see how that works.

Here is a link to one of my posts on a thread. I'm the 8th post. You'll see the Gallery link to the left below the users ID and info.

CF also has a direct link to the member's gallery, good idea Dave.

jthorpe

Ok, it's on there now. The only bad thing about that is that if someone doesn't have a gallery, the link is still there so it goes to their gallery page with no pics....

CoastalDav

Did not take long to do that.

I was already in the process of making changes to the way posts look, so i already had the right template open. Good timing.

Cool! I look at a post and it is all old timey and comfy. I click another link and I am in a whole new place. It even has that new car smell. This is much better than the change I keep getting from D.C.

So here are some old versions of the site. The first version back in 2001 was funny, it looked ridiculous...

Main Page 2001:

Here is a 2002 version of the forum. Notice the amount of members we had at that time...

That's cool, the whole evolution...

Maybe people will use the gallery more now?

jthorpe

We'll see..

I've been considering adding a facebook style chat system as well, but i would rather not kill the forums...

Fisherguy

Speaking of FaceBook, why not a link to someone's FB page like I've seen at other forum, it's an option in your CP to post a link to it.

I'm working on some things like that but a bit more in depth. I'm also working on getting some links setup to the DTR fan page on facebook.
