Topic: New Website Format

I really like the new look of the website. It seems more user friendly this way.

Good job Webmaster!!

Thanks, I'll take all the credit for it! Forum should get reskinned soon, too, but enjoy the legacy look for now.

We tested and proofed it many times, but if you see something that we missed, let us know.

Looks great! One thing: why no obvious link to the forum anymore?

The rally scoring page is still showing duplicate wording between the Performance and How Butt-Turrible Is It sections but, you know, it's not like anyone has been bringing this to HQ's attention repeatedly ever since, um, 2017...

Oh, and Rule 3.10.11.3.2  is still followed by an entirely different Rule 3.10.11.3.2.

Clearly it's because they're in the process of migrating to a more modern forum software that supports things like native image uploads and a mobile friendly format. Soon, everyone will realize that facebook is a horrible black hole for information, and return back to the forum with open arms, which now offers a superior user experience. They'll be saying things like "Information is logically organized by topic, rather than barfed onto the screen in an incoherent way solely to maximize engagement" and "This version of the internet is so much better, and promotes a much healthier discourse versus a platform that optimizes for outrage" and "I was manipulated all along through sneaky UX to get sucked into a vastly inferior communication tool, I can't believe I had forsaken the forum in the first place". Then the new users will collectively hold hands, sing, and post long build threads about installing a slant 6 in a 5 series. The Lemons community is finally at peace, as one of facebook's tendrils which historically has had such a stranglehold over automotive subculture is vanquished.

Maybe, but I have to assume we've still got people trying to log into the Lemons Yahoo! Group.
