  • Photo Gallery (Loaded now)
  • Nav Links at top (Some are still broken)

If you guys see any bugs or anything else reply to this post.
Include what Browser & Operating System(OS) you are using along with as much info as possible.

Yea Kyle...When you log in, and say remember my name and when you click to log in and the page refreshes automatically...it doesn't show that you've logged in and does not allow you to view any posts unless you click on "Forums" link up top. I think this is a cookie refreshing problem. I never had an issue like this before and I tried it on a few comps...

And by the way, its much better with LINKS to sub forums as you have now then it was a few hours ago with only one forum link that would take you to sub forum links and so on... keep up the great work bro!

I always get the "Done, but with errors on page" notice at the bottom. I cant use any of the formatting buttons like insert link, insert photo, bold, italicize, etc. For some reason this is the first and only time I have been able to use quick reply, usually I have to hit the post reply button. maybe its just me, but it just started today.

^ You have to now hit the feather looking button next to the "quote" button to activate the quick reply...pretty cool now that it has more features!

Edit: NM, it works either way now.

Kyle, also, how come when you want to insert a link, it won't allow you to name the url with whatever you want. It only directly puts the long http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx into your post.

I could have sworn we were allowed to rename links instead of posting them directly? Am I missing something here?

I think the new groups and sub-groups are great. This is exactly what this forum needed. The general section for all G35s and then different models, then the photo section so everyone can see all G35s instead of only seeing coups, or only seeing Sedans.  Awesome job Kyle.

Also, the old link use to be www.g35driver.com/forum, I think the new one is www.g35driver.com/forums

Im not sure how many people access the forums directly from that address or if they go to www.g35driver.com then click on the link, but I access it directly form the address and NOTHING would work… so those people who might be doing the same thing as I was doing will never know since they wont be able to read any threads so maybe you could put a note at the top of the www.g35driver.com/forum where everyone can read it when they enter that and tell them the new address should be /forums instead.

Nice Job again.

I noticed that too, you can still manually edit it after...

Are you going to allow pics in our signature?

Can you add a "(View All Posts)" option to:
The G-Spot
The Lounge
Audio
Body Interior
Maintenance and Car

Just like there is for the Engine-Drivetrain and Wheels Tires forums?

Thanks!!

When adding a link in a reply, there is no "Link Text" option.

It has to be done manually.

I have a suggestion ... what about adding a feature that will allow members to put threads in a lets call it "watch list" ?.. so you can tag them for easy follow up, instead of searching for threads you have posted in or tracking discussion of others you are interested in.

Go to the top of any thread and click the 'threads tools'.
Then in the pull down click 'subscribe to thread'
Now anytime some one posts in the thread that you subscribed to and email will be sent to you.

If your email addy has changed since you first subscribed here, go into the user control panel and update your email addy.
