Random thought to help un-clutter signatures, how about allowing more then 4 lines deep.

Sorry if its been covered already.

That is a bit of a balancing act. Longer signatures will make for much longer threads. Luckily not everyone here puts the full 4 lines available in there now. It would be a mess if they did. Check out some of the gaming forums with generous sig limits and you can see first hand how messy it gets.

As an alternative to longer sigs I would recommend using a facebook page (or wordpress or the social streaming service of your choice) for the race team and put that link in your signature along with the latest 2-3 events participated in your sig. Have everyone on the team point to that common site.

With that you can have the best of both worlds. You can share far more info than you ever could in a sig. The forum won't get junked up with out of control sigs. The stats from a FB page will let you see how many people are interested in checking out your hooptie. Hell, that could even help with sponsorship efforts for the team. Show you are generating a lot of eyeballs and you might be able to score some beer money for the team.

Re: Post your forum layout related questions or observations here

Thanks, understood, but not being much of a FB kinda guy  I was just thinking more lines to help space things, in my case(ideally) I would put each race attended in its own line rather then as a weird sentence.

Homestead Chump 5th-Sebring Chump 6th-PBIR LeMons 9th - Charlotte Chump  Crash-n-Burn 9th
Sebring Chump 6th again -NOLA Chump 1st -PBIR Chump Transmission 16th
Daytona 11th - Sebring 6th - Atlanta Motor Speedway 2nd - Road Atlanta Trans Fail 61st
Road Atlanta 5th

Not sure if appropriate or reasonable to ask, but searches of the forum aren't coming up with some of the older stuff. I have to go to google and click the "cached" in order to see anything of any vintage. I's it possible to set up an "archived" search function without the current formatting or something? There's some good information back there (re: the current nomex bra thread as an example of how old searches would help).

Is this a server space issue or?

The forum has been reindexed. See if the searches get you to everything now.

When I did a search for nomex bra this thread came up - http://forums.24hoursoflemons.com/viewtopic.php?id=1785

Was this the one that you couldn't get to with search before?

What happened to the search function?   I just tried to search for "Super Snipe" and the only hit I got was from June 15th.   It didn't return any other hits for that or similar phrases.

Would it be possible to have the email function also send a CC to the sender?

That will be due to inconsistencies in how people are writing it. Super Snipe isn't the same things as SuperSnipe. Try searching for *snipe.

Unfortunately there is no option for that.
