Sorry Steve...
The new site design is really bad on several levels... The color red is too overpowering and visually too loud, makes it hard to focus on the rest of the site. Softer, less powerful color tones (grays, greens, blues) are far easier on the eyes.
Also, the icons indicating when you have new posts are really hard to make out compared to the others. Too many pics of your car... Its a nice car but really not user friendly when trying to see where the changes are.
Cheers,

Gadget | I guess it really depends on your monitor. The colors are the actual hex equivalents to the Motorsport Pantone colors. I would like to have a simpler car graphic but that was the best I could do. I agree, it is too much. I don't even own that car anymore. Any graphic artists out there? You can change the style in your user control panel to default or use the style changer on the bottom left of the page. __________________ ...steven
