    Welcome, beta testers! Thanks for checking the new site out.

    First off, I'm sure there's a lot of folks irritated by having to re-register. I'm not wild about it either, but it really wasn't avoidable. The good news is that if you've already registered for the Classic Motorsports site, that registration will work here. If you haven't, when you register here your login and password will work over there.

    As you let us know what you find missing, broken or otherwise annoying, please add what browser, OS and screen resolution you're using. Those three variables can make a big difference in tracking down and fixing issues.

    Thanks, and I hope you like the new site.

    If you are registered on Classic the db is a carry over.

    Things float around the message posts. Right now, I have a "! 0 reply " floating over and covering up part of the first post. What's wrong with the old board?

    Doc, again, please let me know browser, OS, and screen resolution, and I should be able to get that sorted out pretty quick.

    The new board is fully integrated into the site (and Classic, for that matter), which just wasn't feasible with the old board.

    can the column on the left be shrunk?

    it takes about 1/4 of my screen

    I don't see a place to edit your profile yet, but I will keep looking.

    Go to the front page. At the bottom will be a link to members you can click. After the click, at the top will be a link to modify your profile. If it doesn't work, go to Classic Motorsports.net and edit your profile from there, it will carry over to here.

    So still no answer on the siggy's though....

    I'm with grtechguy. too much wasted space on the left.

    To see all the community, click community. From there, you can select yourself. Clicking on someone's avatar will also jump you to their profile.

    I posted, then clicked on my profile, then clicked on something else and got to edit my profile. Not as easy or intuitive as before. Plus the optional fields don't seem to be optional. I keep getting: {'site': [u'This field is required.']}

    Thanks Pinchvalve.. I was looking for that.

    How do you think you should be able to get to your profile and/or edit it?

    There used to be an "Edit Profile" link at the top of the forum right?

    I filled in all boxes, and then it allowed me to save. Now I have my avatar and pretty picture of myself. (the girls were already asking...)

    Ahh.......the bugs are here now.

    another question.

    Do we lose our post counts when this goes live for good?

  • Tim Baxter

    May 12, 2008 3:17 p.m. Tim Baxter Online Editor

    Ahh.. the question I've been dreading... I'm afraid so. I just can't figure out a good way to get them from the old database to the new one. They don't map out the same at all.

    I am, however, working on some form of recognition/title/something sort of system, I just don't know what form it's going to take yet.

    Wow. That's a real bummer. And here I thought I had some clout after all of this time. (then again, I'm here...)

    Well there be more emoticons in the finished version?

    Also--is this the final format of it??? Seems like the old site is/was easier to navigate. :?:

  • Tim Baxter

    May 12, 2008 3:22 p.m. Tim Baxter Online Editor

    It IS a bummer, I agree, and if I could figure out a way to move 'em over, I would. If I DO figure out a way to do it, I will. Then again, if you're here right now, yeah, you've got some pull!

    Emoticons: Maybe. Not a bad idea, and shouldn't be too hard, but not at the top of the prioties list right now.

    Format: No, it could definitely change. Got suggestions? Send 'em my way.

    testing to see if I accidentally screwed up my screenname...

  • Chris G.

    May 12, 2008 3:26 p.m. Chris G. None

    OK--I screwed up my screen name somehow and it won't let me change it back. :evil:

  • Chris G.

    So there was the little section in "edit profile" where it says "first name"/"last name" I put in my first name, last initial and hit "submit" before I saw the "preferred screenname" field. Now I can't change my screenname back to "gamby".

    thoughts??? :evil:

  • Tim Baxter

    May 12, 2008 3:37 p.m. Tim Baxter Online Editor

    Set "preferred Screen name" to Gamby.

  • Chris G.

    May 12, 2008 3:39 p.m. Chris G. None

    4 attempts doing that yielded nothing. :?::?::?:
