I have a suggestion!

Every time I open a topic or thread it automatically scrolls to the bottom of the page, thus prohibiting my reading of the first posts.
This is rather annoying! Is it a site problem or just my computer?

If it is a site problem, can it be rectified?

Looks good so far, once you get some more members if you need any mods I know someone with a bit of experience ;)

boostedfalcon.net has been purchased just waiting on a few details before the URL changes.

Appears to be browser dependant.
There have been 2 updates to the forum software since it was released.
I've gotta look at a way of updating our forum to the newest version (tricky because we've modified the forum somewhat)
But it will be done at some stage

hrmmm.

Keep a control over what 'slightly dubious' activity goes on, i know the vic EPA are apparently pretty bad for trolling forums

think about a donating member scheme if this things costs cash. Otherwise, set up a DM type sub forums where the hardcore, long timers and that can go post pics of whatever, and slag the newbies

get your admin team setup, and named in a sticky. Maybe even a thread to list who you are if your user name has changed. I have no idea who commando is lol

The original theme had the users profiles on the right side of the page, we moved them to the left to make things look a little more normal.
on smaller resolutions the avatars appear to come accross the border.
I plan on doing some upgrades to the forum software fairly soon so i can fix some of these issues.

just wondering, you're probably already on it but are there going to be new banners now that this is the actual eseries forum, maybe set up something so eseries banners come up in most sections and boosted banners come up in the boosted section....i dunno

Hey John, now that this site is up and running and taking over the world, you should put a pic with the internet site so it comes up in my favourite list with a pic. Maybe a turbo like in LTDHO's avatar.

Don't know if this is doable, but can you make a list that is accessable by all members, or a list that a member can add their login to? Just so when lists are made there is only one post for it instead of repeat posts.

How 'bout an 'Off topic posts' counter (or 'Retarded posts') like in some other forums? Then maybe new members would know straight up who not to take shit from.

Maybe have a sectionm where people can submit a small build storey to post on the http://www.eseries.com.au site to help it look a bit more updated??
i was dumb enough to click on a banner advert and came arross this free business card maker thing.
and thought i'd do a fairly cheap attempt and club cards... maybe to hand out at meets? events?? to our mates??
heres a rough design, which can certainitly be updated, but for now it's free so i'm not complaining. Are there any suggestions on card format and what should/shouldn't be on it before i order it???

I'm thinking a new club card design could look something like the banners we have now?? A version for boosted and normal e-series??
Anyone able to do up some designs??
