E30 Zone

I know we still have a few issues and I'm still modifying the theme, but how are you finding it in general?, getting used to it or still just can't get on with it?

Nice new image, better now the for sale section is as it used to be on the old zone - the classified section was the only thing i wasn't too sure about

Definite overall improvement IMO.
Much prettier, it's very much the same really just facelifted

I honestly think that the banner should be of equal width to the "forum box" though

+1 on that, slightly annoying having to scroll from side to side.

Is it not then? looks fine this end what browser are you using?

Personally, I like it and I think you guys have done a superb job with the migration.

The only minor downsides for me are:
- I am still trying to work out why there are For Sale/Wanted forums *and* a classifieds section
- The lack of email notificiations is a minor annoyance

Overall, top job and thank you for all your hard work.

I'm using Safari on a mac Steve. Perhaps that's fekking with it.

The forum box is wider on my screen

Its back to where it used to be under theforum section. I think the new site is great. Did'nt like the the classified section but that has been changed back to the old style which is much better

It's equal size on every other page apart from when I'm reading a thread

The site was set up for 1024 and bigger resolution. Resolutions smaller than this will cause the site to scroll left and right.

As mentioned last week it was well over due. Very modern and upto date with a good colour combination especially the header.

IMO The 'back to top' 'Profile, PM me and MSNM' underneath each Zoners' post takes a little getting used to. A little confusing.

I think that should be part of the whole zoners post. I did a quick photoshop edit removing the orange lines

Oakey i have the same view and im on IE7

I like the new zone seems alot quick and it swork on my iphone alot better too

Its taking some exploring what with photo section/ albums etc but im getting there

top work mods, One quick question though will there still be a car of the month?? I know it used to be run as a banner on the site but as the banner is now used in line with the zones new design will the car of the month stil go ahead??

I'll look into the forum width problem, put it on the list

Car of the month will still happen, but in a different way

i dont like the colour scheme... im glad that the for sale and wanted sections have appeared again.
and how do you go about registering your e30?? i get a load of html crap!

i like the new zone wasn't to sure on the colours to start with but got use to it now

so well done guys you did a great job

I like the colour scheme but it can get a bit depressing after a while. Could we have a white/light colour scheme option so we can flick back and forwards using profile settings? Either the old zone or default subsilver would be fine.

I like the coppermine gallery addition, the classifieds were ALMOST there so hopefully you'll have them sorted out. Expiring old adds is fine, but doesn't help if you're looking to find comparable prices on old transactions. If we could have an "Active/Inactive Ads" toggle that would be awesome.

Has traffic picked back up to where it was before the server change?

Anyway, thanks very much for all the work. I'm only being so picky to give you some options.

This is the same as what im getting, except the forum doesnt fill the width of my screen as much!
Glad the classifieds have gone back to normal
Just need some colour options, too much contrast for my eyes to be dealing with

im getting used to it now, i wasnt too sure at first but i dont like change

i wish the email thing would work properly tho

Shhhh dont tell the Boss.....

Good job lads! Still getting used to the theme but its not bad. So far working alright. I have come across the header problems being smaller than the forum itself and its quite strange? Steve, I seen similar problems through using tables and dynamic sizing when using HTML components in ASP.NET webforms. Don't think that applies here though. It hasn't really been much of an issue to me but if others get annoyed with it its probably worth looking into i suppose.

Is there anyway to veiw recent journal entries? I haven't noticed a way to yet (i may not be looking hard enough!) but if not that could be useful rather than only looking to see if a particular user has wrote a public journal. Thats something i'm interested in.... great idea to add journals tho! Already made a start to mine!

Looking good though, runs faster than the old Zone too!

Ive got used to the new zone now,the only issue i had was with the new for sale section.

The colour scheme is gash, I'm afraid...

Also not having the for sale sections in the forum but on another link is annoying

That 'Back to top' button is a life saver. My mouse-trackball has kaput leaving me to only use the scroll bar on the left.

Thanks Steve!

As previously stated, Email issues are being addressed, please be patient.

Remember, all teething problems and gremlins identified are being dealt with in peoples spare time !

Thanks !

Colour scheme took some getting used to, I found black on white was easier to read, but I am getting along nicely with it! Generally better, but I was happy with the old zone as well!
