I think you should “abolish this section all together.” For the reason you’ve stated and more then likely if someone needs a helpful Nissan site, they’ll post it in our forum section and someone here will steer them in the right direction.[/quote]

I agree to abolish the section altogether!! Or here is another option that may be useful in the future. Have a banner exchange, such as our paid sponsors if they have a website, put their banner up on our links page and they have a banner to our site on their links page. I use to do this with my company. This way you generate more traffic to our site.

Overall I like the set up of the Main page!! :lol: One small lil suggestion, put navigation links at the bottom. If ya don’t know what I mean, it looks like this:

      HOME |   FORUM  |  GALLERY
           ABOUT US  |   LINKS

Makes a site a lil easier to navigate.

I agree with all you guys are saying. I think that the events section on the main page is pointless. Also it would be nice to have the link for the necc logo on the forum section go to the home page and not just back to the forum page. Ohh, and the link that you have for the 780tuners.com goes to the events section/necc photo shoot…just to let you know :wink: I really like the font!!

One little thing that I don’t think we can change…I meet a guy the other night with a 300 and he saw the stickers and was like what is neck? I was like what are you talking about…but because the main logo is in small letters and not capitals people don’t say NECC. LOL I never thought of that, not realy a big deal

23

Agreed! Do it up bra. :slight_smile:

24

Agreed!

I don’y really see the resemblance from the “c” to a “k” I guess if you just had a brief glance it may look like a k but hardly. lol

25

The bar at the bottom of the page is done.

As for a link to the main page from the forum, I’ll have to get someone else to do that, that knows about this program (forum).

I’ll get on the rest asap.

26

I mean like how you say c like hoo(k) not Capital C like ©ircle… People may think it’s 1 word. I was talking about…NM, It’s to hard to say on here. Just that if the logo was all capials NECC, it would look like it is said. I really dont care, I just thought it was funny

27

You mean like “NECK”? Like… my neck hurts. lol.

SOoooooooooooooo, feedback. How does everyone like the upgraded front page?

Looks much better now Aaron, we seem to have quite a few events on the left, maybe we should have the past 3 events, and the rest in the events section. Also, it might be a good idea for the events section to have a link to each event, and all pictures and maybe a write-up on the event could be placed in there (each event with it’s own page).

29

Agreed on the second point.

I think the Events page is good, it kinda gives a club history for noobies like me. Just reduce the font size, and maybe make two columns - one for public events like VUB and SCC, one for club events like BBQs and Dyno Days. Add links to the matching forum post(s) after the description of the event, and list the most recent events at the top.

Maybe reduce the events sidebar on the Home page to just the most recent event plus links to the last 5 events. Looks weird to have the page end while the sidebar keeps going. Also defeats the purpose of having the links bar at the bottom of the page if you have to scroll 3 pages down to use it . . . IMHO.

I like the idea of a banner exchange in the Links section. Maybe links from the Members section to the matching Gallery whenever that is up. Otherwise, looks good!

About that homepage sidebar thing… I tried to reduce it so that the page mates up nicely, but I don’t know how to do it, seems to not want to come back up to the top after I extended it.

Another problem is, I’m not a webpage kinda person, I know absolutely nothing about it or how to use those programs and what not. I need someone to help with this stuff and/or to do it for me.

Sorry Aaron :oops:

I did not mean to dig up a month-old thread and dump on you, I had just never visited the Members Only Area before. I didn’t know that you had already tried to reduce the sidebar, and now that I read my comment about “scrolling down 3 pages” again, it sounds sarcastic. Sorry, that’s not what I meant, and I did not want to make you look bad in any way.

Like I told you in my PM when I joined, I think you have done something really extraordinary to start this club using your own time and money. :mrgreen:

Hey, no worries. That’s what I’m here for. No need for appologes (sp), it’s rare that I’m ever offended.
