another idea
seems like we should meet on the chat room and talk about it? What do you think? What about the time? Good idea? or is it too much time and effort for a webpage?

Re: Re: Graphically challenged.

A couple of suggestions; I do not like the photo, but using Chris's suggestion of a rotating database would solve that. Also a prominent Skip Intro button would be good. Most regular users would be linked directly into particular threads on a day to day basis anyway, so the front page is more for image and for visitors.

My 2 cents
Seeing as I started this I figured...
Well, I agree with the KISS camp. I also do not wish to see all sorts of fancy graphics. Maybe a nice pic of our wonderful car (changing every week is cool) then a large button directing the newbee to the forum. It should be clear from the "Top Page" that this IS a FORUM and the forum is about the SVX. That's all. All the other stuff is available on John's site and the like. I REALLY love his site for the layout and information...and that wonderful nav bar. Maybe just some opening remarks to the effect that this is a forum and it's all about SVX's..... Thank you for your time...and have a nice day.

Car pics
<Sound ok, good, acceptable?>
Yes Chris, a very nice idea. A photo for the newcomers and we members get to see each others cars. Thanks! Don

Guys, find a time so that we can meet on the chat room. We need to include the site-ops. Someone suggest a date and time. I should be ok with almost anything.

How about Sunday the 29th? I only suggest so far in the future, simply because I'm going to be in Canada for a week. I DON'T plan on even turning my laptop on! I need a vacation!

It's like this. I went through the "more cool flashy stuff makes a good website" phase. Then I realized the truth is: "Less is better". If you make a graphics laden site it takes longer to load pages. Remember; your site should be based on a 56K throughput (which as we all know is really more like 36K). I hate to say it but I think this site is for people who ALREADY know what an SVX looks like. Any pictures we need (or want) to see or share should be in the personal lockers. I like it this way. Simple and to the point. We don't need no stinkin' graphics (to paraphrase a famous guy).

I disagree.

-joe- >> Joe, I respectfully disagree. I hate to say it but we NEED more active members. I try very hard to get the few SVXrs I DO see to come here and participate. Yes, they do know what the car looks like, but a simple picture of their beloved baby would confirm that they have in fact made it to the right place. I'm not asking for glizty graphics. Just a simple cover page that lets our friends know that this is home. They need to see that this place is real and not 'just another site'. Most people DO read a book by it's cover and this book's cover, I'm afraid, says little. (No offence sysops) All I'm asking for is a simple clean up of the 'cover page' and a nice picture of our beloved babies. Our cars that is.... - Jeff
