Nice work.

I noticed on a member's profile the names of the last visitors (Recent Visitors) are in white text against a white background.
Thanks Luke. Good to see you still posting on here... thought you might be too good for us now that you are flying around in your flashy bmw :) Gonna work on all the contrast colours and stuff later tonight and make sure everything is easy to read and navigate.


Havin prob's gettin on site on my phone, it seems real slow to load..

Would this be down to my phone??? i have a sony erricson satio....

Other than that am likeing the new forum as use to it now...
Hey bud, Ive been using tapatalk and it is nice and fast, not sure if there is a client for your handset though. This version of vbulletin is certainly more intensive on our server and the site is loading a bit slower than usual. I will be carrying out some optimisation soon which should speed things up and am looking at upgrading our server also.

I will add a mobile friendly theme to my to do list. This will probably have all images and non-essential features stripped out to make browsing on low bandwidth devices a nicer experience.


ooooooh.. i like.. very different... :beer:
Thanks bro, more to be done though so hopefully it will get nicer soon.

My Satio is fine with it.
That is because you are a special and unique snowflake.

I personally think the banner looks really tacky (no offence) it should be more like the one on the home page, looks way more professional etc, like a real owners club! this one looks a bit "basic" imo!

Well I paid a subscription fee the other day if you hadn't noticed! It's been a while since I've tinkered with my GTti, but it's back on the agenda now. I have stowed enough away for a trailer and some spare cash to get it on the circuit!

It look's a little to crusie site banner than a owner's banner if ya get what i mean, think its the colours of the GT's make it a little off..

Like what dan said a GT an a Glanza Whould look good showing both model's....

Not keen on that at all. Looks a bit amateurish IMO. Too much black on the right side. Despite how dark the old one was i prefer that still.

Have to agree that banner doesn't look too professional and i don't understand why there are 2 gts and not 1 gt and 1 glanza which it should be :D

Yeah, I personally think the one on the home page should be used for the whole site as it looks really professional etc and do like you did before and members can upload their cars etc then everyone can partake!

The current banner is just a temporary thing till the permanent banner is sorted out. As usual though we will take all suggestions on board.

I opened a thread asking for pics of cars that we can use in a new banner and you all think the above banner is what I had in mind? Lads when I opened this thread I said we were working on upgrading the site and when it was finished we would ask for feedback.

The banner that is currently in place is a place holder that allowed us judge what size a new banner needed to be in this new version of vbulletin. We had to remove the old banner as it was interfering with other things we are working on at the moment.

Now once more.... can you all please hold fire until we say "the site is now finished". At that point we will welcome feedback on the new look and will take in to consideration feedback we receive. It is pointless giving feedback on something that is going to change anyway.

As for a banner design competition, this may happen but it will involve very strict guidelines. When we are ready to announce this we will put a thread up about it.

man the hole thing is just one big mess i dont like any of it the colors are all wrong so that needs to be changed, the banner looks like it was made in a washing machine, navigation is all over the place so dont be dilly dadiling about the place you have until 12pm to sort it out cause it should only take 5 mins:homer:

sorry for the windup :p its defo taking shape man and looking well as said before its still a work in progress

people who have something negative to say i would recommend not to say it as it is very disheartening to someone who obviously spending alot of time doing this for all of us when its announced thats its nearly there and a what do you think thread is started then you dislikes should be posted

errors and glitches should really be the only thing people should be worried about at the moment

also maybe some appreciation for the hard work thats gone in to getting it this far:)
