    I don´t know if it´s my browser or what, but since the last month the Ferrarichat logo in the top right corner of the page appears like compressed horizontally and moved to the right. It´s not the end of the world but it looks ugly.


    Oh, and more moderation in the Formula 1 section. Things get scary there sometimes.

    Godaddy has a VERY easy wesite builder if you host it thru them. I have no idea how to do that stuff and built my Stickynomore site with it--Worked like a charm.....

    I have a database, but the the information in it isn't the only information I want on the site. And then there's some information in it that I don't want on the site. It's all very complex and therefore needs to be custom built - and not by the less-than-novice likes of myself. It will come, in time.

    Yeah, that's where I bought my URLs, and I saw the offers to host and build when I made the purchase. But what I want is far more advanced. It needs to be custom built.

    Aaaah, I´ve already supposed that it was to left more space for ads. But then you should make the logo smaller, or change again the design to make it fit in the available space. It looks bad shrunk in that way and misaligned with the right border of the table of text.

    I imagine you have really large resolution setting. For most it all appears on screen and no scroll.

    Mentioned before awhile back but may have gotten lost in the pile.

    How about a "remail email" service so we can have a "permanent" email adrress. I have about 5+ email addresses and am forced to change them every several months to years (job related).

    I would love to give out ONE address ([email protected]) and have them all routed to where I want them to end up.

    I'd like to be able to use Quick Links->New Posts without getting all the Politics & Religion threads. I enjoy reviewing all the Ferrari-related threads, but often times the P&R thread titles are so over the top. It's truly another world in there. Perhaps it would be more manageable to have something akin to forum subscriptions that affect what is displayed during the 'New Posts' search. I don't think that's how subscriptions work today. If there is a way to do this, please let me know what it is.

    I enjoy this site for the great Ferrari knowledge and shared experiences. I've learned alot here, and visit quite often. But P&R threads are all too often like a big bird dump on a freshly detailed Fcar. But I certainly respect the rights of those who wish to participate and their right to continue to do so. But it would be nice to not have to wade through them every time I check in.

    For users that don't want to see P&R threads in New Posts, Searches, or at all then let me know and I can hide them user by user.

    Services like g-mail have forwarding you can setup, might be worth looking into.

    Ok, THANX.

    I just liked the idea of email "... @FerrariChat ..." Thought it might increase membership too.

    This has prob been brought up b4... how about a tad larger avatars. Say 100x100 or 120x120 from the 80x80 we have now. I run 1920x1200, I can barely see them :eek:

    Seems like a ton of "does this price seem right?" threads lately (especially in the 360/430 section)...how about a stand alone "Pricing" section or similar???

    OK, I haven't really kept up with this thread so my suggestion might be a repost, but here goes...A save draft option in the PM's, just incase you're at the office or something and you get interrupted and you've already started typing and you don't want to retype and don't have time to copy paste save into another format...

    Limit the post of the unregistered to 100 post. If they can't dish out $$ too bad for them.

    Allow pictures on the posts instead of all the clicking necessary to open a new window and see each picture.

    I think he might be referring the imageshack stuff and enabling the use of IMG codes.

    Rob said that after a while the images can go away, so attaching them prevents that.

    At the top of the page is the “path” of the thread you are reading (example:
    FerrariChat.com > Model Specific Discussions > 456/550/575

    When you scroll down as you read the items in a thread, you then need to go back up to the top to click on the section of interest to you (example, if you want to see what else is new in the 456/550/575 section).

    It would be nice if the “path” was repeated at the bottom of the page, so that you didn’t have to go back up to the top.
