I love the new son how its so much easier to customize your personal settings and I think the updated look its really nice too. However I would love to see the latest posted forums come back to the home page. I found I that it helped everyone get a their forum noticed before one started searching for whatever. I found often I came to SON looking to buy new car parts only to have a forum about painting cars that caught my eye for example. Other wise I would never have looked at it. So it could have a small effect on the amount of responses people get. ---

I found often I came to SON looking to buy new car parts only to have a forum about painting cars that caught my eye for example. Other wise I would never have looked at it. So it could have a small effect on the amount of responses people get. I will talk to the other admins about that. It was something that I originally wanted to have, but we didn’t have the horizontal space. I can place it in the vertical space on the right sidebar if you are really loving that feature. Mike ---

Thanks for the support guys. Once the technical stuff is out of the way we’ll look at aesthetic changes. Matty, there are a few dozen accounts like yours… the other one still exist, its just idle at the moment. We will get them merged. ---

Is it only members that get sigs and avatars? Or is it open to everyone? And was the old son 25 replies per page or 50? Cause the pages seem shorter. ---

some of the features you can set up for thread display options in your panel. not sure what the default is. as for sigs and avatars… there are some that may not have imported over… there certainly are some icons like that anyways. ---

CHANGE SCARES ME! …Seriously though, I dig the new layout, the cross forum posting means nothing to me since I didn’t visit those sites before, but upgrades are nice, and it’s not like the SON section is really any different other than aesthetics. ---

the network sections allow for a broader off-topic base (SON finally has OT back) and the wheels and tires thing is going to be good as well… and now there are more people to sell to, buy from, chat with… ---
