Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

I like it.

It looks like the "how to go racing" link doesn't exist on the home page.

Car to Pit telemetry (OBD2, GPS, and analog inputs) with little more than a phone, router, and laptop.  It's not MacGuyver, it's WifiLapper (forum | facebook)

Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

Forum text is the same as it used to be for me.  But I kinda liked the old format.  I don't dislike the new at all, but just liked the old.

Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

i think it's the contrasting of the new default color scheme. I always had mine set to the green/slightly beige setting as it was very easy to read, now, while the forum has a very clean, crisp look, i thin it interferes with the contrast versus the text and quite a few of our eyes are sensitive to that.

Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

I'm on IE8 Vista 64bit and the text has shrunk.  I need to bump up the magnification to 150% to be able to read it.

Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

I like the new look! Good work. The forum font is really tiny for me however. Had to zoom to 150% to read it. IE8, Vista 64.

Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

I like the new look!

Seems like it would be easier to find races, enter events and there's even a spot for sponsors to sully their reputations.

Also, thanks for featuring our horribleness as the forums icon.

Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

I f i can't figure out how to increase the size of the fonts (or you do it for me)  I will stop reading this forum.  It is giving me a headache.  I.E.

I like the new site, Lemons has finally stepped forward from the 90's and built a proper site.  High five o/\o

Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

Love the new site.  Love the new info too!  I've wasted the last hour reading information I already knew, but still makes me laugh.

And the forums look fine to me, both on my Win7 64bit w/ Chrome, and my office XP 32bit w/ Chrome.

So...  For those who can't read, use the ctrl-mousewheel trick to increase text size.  Or switch to Google Chrome (it rawks).

Re: So I see y'all redunned that intarweb sight thang

WTF, I know I just turned 50 last week but this is WAY to small to read.

I want to live or die trying.
