Let's all thank Z28luvr...

[Flybrian]

For the beautiful new forum we have recieved. What a Christmas!

Thanks, Z!

[Satty]

I think a thank you and possibly some assistance with that C3 of his would be more appreciated by Z than the full-on penetration Fly seems to advocate.

[Camino LS6]

A great job once again,Z.

Thanks for all you do.

[Guest YellowJacket894]

Love the new forums. Great new look.

How do I change skins, by the way? I switched to the Opel one and now it won't let me use any of the others.

EDIT: Never mind. I figured it out.

Love the new look, too, along with the features. Nice job!

Hmm....weird. I know if you use the skin selector box on the combo page, it brings you to the forum main page with the new skin. I'll have to look at the portal source code and see if I can do something about it. I don't like that behavior. Anyway, on the bottom of every forum page there's a skin selector drop-down. Try using that one and see what happens.

It's very modern-looking. The old board looked very mundane in retrospect.

[K.C.]

It looks good. Thanks Z. What is this skins thing?

[capriceman]

This maybe subjective but the Oldsmobile Skin should receive the 66 Toronado like it it awhile back.

Any way Good Job!!

[ToniCipriani]

Thanks, it's very nice, but...

Where is the "My Controls" button when I'm not on the front page?? I couldnt' find it.

[04monteintimidator]

thanks z im sure it took alot of work... unfortunately... i cannot enjoy the new look... and i never really saw the old look either... my laptop has the dreaded "red x disease" on this site... i can see a handful of the smileys, and everyones avatar and sig as well as posted pictures... but most of the smileys, buttons, and site images etc are just red xs for me...

[NOS2006]

Looks great, Z! Thanks!

[Croc]

Yea thanks! It looks so much more professional than before. A+

[AAS]

Excellent job! Thanks!

I noticed that, as well, and have tried from both the main page and forums. I just know that from the forums, once you change it, it sets the skin. You can't change it again, unless you refresh the forums.

After you change it, this is the url:

http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index.php?s=&setskin=1&skinid=18&act=idx&cal_id=

You can't change the skin again, until you click back, click on something, etc.

Anyways, the new skins are refreshing. I'm rocking the Opel's yellow theme. It's fresh and an appreciated change from the depressing blue, blue, and more blue that I'm used to. It also contrasts pretty well with my regular purple themed signature and avatar. Can't wait until Xmas is over and I get to use them again.

However, I've noticed some problems. The quote feature isn't working for me. The reply feature is, but not that. Oh, and side scrolling sucks, but I'm just on an outdated PC... So whatever.

[bobo]

This is a huge improvement, and I like a return to the old slogan "toughest critics" also. Great job!

[ocnblu]

Looks vurry niiice, z. One question: when I hit my © bold button, it puts up both bracketed "Bs" at once, do I have to hit my "back" arrow to the spot between them to type my post, or am I dumb?

[Guest YellowJacket894]

I love the Holden theme and the nice crimson that goes with it.

[FAPTurbo]

Love the HUMMER theme!

[VenSeattle]

Love the HUMMER theme!

Heh... after reading your post, I was afraid to look

The site looks great! Awesome Z! Thank you!

[DetroitNut90]

Red X's still afflict my computer, but I saw it briefly earlier today on our other desktop...looks snazzy! I'm gonna fiddle with the skins later on tonite. Thanks Z!

[Sixty8panther]

AWSOME!

Thanks a million budy.

[Paolino]

Looks awesome! Great job man!

[Nick]

Very nice! Thanks Z!

I especially love how when I do "view new posts" now it shows me what threads I have posted in. I was always disappointed it didn't do that before.

[Cory Wolfe]

Scratch what I said about side scrolling. I don't think I have to worry about anymore... What, with a 1440x900 resolution display and all.

New computer? 1440 x 900 is pretty good, mine is 1680 x 1050 and I don't think I'd want anything better unless the screen was bigger. Pics are really small on my 15.4" display with that good of resolution.

Thanks for the update Z, it looks AWESOME!

[Cory Wolfe]

Yep.

[trinacriabob]

Great job. Very talented dude, to be sure.

I have Z to thank for my sig. When my cousins in Italy saw the sig, they had to put the phone down they were laughing so hard.

Frank's da man!

[ocnblu]

haha, yup, that sig's a real knee slapper. :AH-HA_wink:

I have Mr. z to thank for my signature, as well. It has stood the test of time very well, I believe.

Oh... Z, a question. Is there a log in menu somewhere, so I can click to "remember me?" Either I can't set or find it on the forums since the update, or my new PC isn't taking cookies from C&G. I hate logging in every time.

[Satty]

I had to log in on the homepage the first time but it has kept me ever since. I kinda miss having acess to the user CP from the forums, unless there is something I'm missing. Overall it looks good, great work Z.

[ToniCipriani]

Seriously, anyone not seeing the side menus now? I still can't find the buttons to pull out the sidebars.

Are cookies disabled in your browser?

Toni (and everyone else who wants to know): I disabled the buttons for the sidebars for the time being to try to assess how much of an effect loading those sidebars had on the server. Things have been pretty stable since the upgrade (for me anyway), so I'll probably end up putting them back and take it from there.

I see... thanks...

It was a little irritating for a moment when I'm trying to get to My Controls without any buttons there...
