I would even suggest that the photo gallery is for donating members only. After all, photos are a big contributor to the bandwidth used each month, so why not leave it to those happy to pay for it?

Just my 2 cents worth. I think you should keep the colour scheme. I have looked at other car related forums and they are so hard to navigate that you cant find what you are supposed to be reading. Stick with the (basically) same layout as you have now. But hey, im all for a change if it is in the right direction....

OK I've got another suggestion, this may be possible now and I don't know how to use it but I'm sure someone will tell me. When I first log onto the site I go to view new posts and then I read the new posts that have been posted since I was last logged in. This can take quite sometime to do, and other new posts are added before I get to read everything, then I click on mark all posts as read so I can keep up to date on the new happenings, but doing this also marks the posts I haven't read yet that were posted while I was going over the new posts list.

So my suggestion is, is it possible to have a mark all posts as read button in the view new posts section which would only mark the posts that are displayed on the view new posts list, so after clicking on it the posts that were made while I was browsing the new posts would still be shown as unread.

I hope this makes sense to anyone. :ta:

The one thing that really frustrates me about the site design at the moment, apart from Cro of course, is that there is no simple way of knowing which posts I haven't read.

In between sessions, the unread posts are displayed by way of "View New Posts", but if you don't read them all and then end the session, "View New Posts" only shows those posts that are new from the last session/log in.

I'd like to see a way of the unread posts remaining unread between sessions?

if you dont mind me asking who is the person desing the site and the forums? also, what forum software?

It isOne Lotus who are doing the new design. They aim to make it more professional, easier to use and still to retain the same blues and colours of the site.

It will still be using invision board, however version 2.0 and not the current version.

As for the posts issue Ken, this will be rectified in the next version. Also all the gallery problems we have had, this will be fixed as well with a new improved gallery directly integrated into the forum.

A few weeks away... still being designed the new look.. and the new server is ready to go.. so that will happen in time.. one day you will be on this server the next the new one with the new look!

As for mail a new mail integration script will be used, less messy and easier to maintain!
