Love it. Great, large design. Now I have to redesign my blog due to feelings of inferiority

One thing that is annoying me though is the features scroller up the top. In Firefox at least, you need to click on the mini picture to get to the article – yet the whole bar highlights. Wouldn’t it be better if clicking anywhere on those bars takes you to the feature?

The site now has a more contempory feel, but make sure the pages still load quickly – don’t let the site get bogged down with too much of the tech stuff.

I would like to be able to more quickly find older articles. Under “Latest News” ther is a link to “All news”, but it still only lists the last 10 items. Perhaps you could have a “Previous ten” list, and so on. I don’t like having to enter a search or go to the bottom of the page to go to “Previous news” only to find that you then have to scroll through, because there is no list, of articles displayed, at the top.

Sometimes the “Hotspots” are all fully expanded, othertimes it is a toggle through look. The fully expanded view is best.

Yes Klink… those two last posts were from me…………………………………

Obviously someone has to much time on their hands, I could reply in detail about the crap theyve just mentioned but that would be getting off topic, will leave it for other areas.

ALBORZ….Just more thoughts on caradvce site. I would NOT be adding emoticons, personal details like occupation or whatever… it will just be worse with people still crapping on and it will jam up the threads with irrelevant more useless stuff that people might turn away from. Maybe just have a space for one photo to go beside NAME on this website so people like Paul and other serious ones can have a laugh – no more then that as simply put silly too!

Just spellcheck, bold, italics and underline. System what is in place is great, my thinking if it aint broke dont fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Group hug for Paul…….you’ll be right, there, there!

It is great to see there is a slither of humour there Paul as there is a chink of giggles in that mind – humour is great and you cannot take everyone to the cleaners (as I know) and take it with a laugh sometimes.

I think keep it simple. Don’t add a forum.

You’ll need moderators and usually disagreements turn to personal attacks.

Keep in “comment only”.

Otherwise, the new design looks shit hot. You know it’s good when it makes a good site look crap in comparison.

Well done guys.
