Welcome to the new PriusChat! Post your questions, bugs, suggestions here

Well, here it is. Thanks for your patience during the ~3 day closure of the forums while I converted PriusChat to our new server home and new software. I'm very excited to hear your feedback on the new site, so please feel free to post your questions & suggestions, and especially post any bugs that you find.

This is about the 5th generation of PriusChat.com, and each iteration has brought new and unique features. As you poke around the new site, I'm sure you'll notice some of the new features. I'll get into those features soon with a few videos showing off how the best features work, but here are a couple you might want to check out:

• Videos - the video tab above will take you to a depository where you'll be able to view and submit Prius videos.
• Wiki - This is going to be a great project. Let's build a truly great "Prius Open Handbook" - together. More info on it coming soon.

I want to take a moment to thank our great moderators, efusco, TonyPSchaefer, Tideland Prius, Paradox, and HTMLSpinnr for helping me test the site over the last month. Their continued dedication to PriusChat makes it the great site that it is. I'd also like to thank all of the PCers who helped out with beta testing over the last couple of weeks. Some of the features you see on the site are as a result of their input.
I hope you enjoy the site!
Danny
PS - You might want to update your avatar to take advantage of the higher resolution.

 

Good catch. Thanks.

 

There should be a submenu on the navigation bar up above under where it says "Forums", and on that submenu there is a "Mark Forums Read" link.

This is your View New Posts link - Recent Threads | PriusChat

 

A lot more data is cached now, and the views #s is one of those. So, it's not a bug, it's a "feature"!

 

I'm still setting up re-writes for the forums. All threads should be redirecting properly. If not, let me know the urls.

 

I still have to setup the generic avatars. I wanted to re-do them to take advantage of the higher resolution, though I still have to figure out how to handle the square avatars with a rectangular car.

 

Currently the avatars are square only, and will, I'm guessing, zoom in to center the image, cropping off the sides. It might be something I have to look into. I personally kind of like the stylized look, but others might have a different opinion.

 

Everything should be redirecting properly, now. Let me know if you still see anything weird.
