    Let me know what you think now. I'd hate to have an inferior product :roll:

    The main reason I had it where it was was so that people would know not to post News in the Prius Main Forum. It's been about a week and those that usually post news to the site have gotten the idea I think (Tempus & jkash, mainly).

    I'm still working on changing the text of the Forum titles. It's something I really want to change too. Figuring it out is the hard part.

    I have not read all of the suggestions, so I don't know if these have been identified.

    1) I cannot update my profile. I get a General Error: Invalid_session when I hit Submit.

    2) Can you change the text color for "here" in the "Click HERE to go to..." links?

    I haven't heard about this before...not sure what could be causing it.

    Working on it... :wink:

    No major complaints, just the main page does not appear to be 100% Mozilla happy. It's not resizing for my window size; IE will do that fine.

    Any other page appears quite happy so far. The real test will come when I get to work tonight, and try Mozilla for Solaris. :)

    Much nicer format to come back to after couple months hiatus. Thanks Danny, Evan!

    Good news: tonight it works and I have finally updated.

    Bad news: I have no idea why the error message was generated during the last week or two. Oh well....it works now!!

    Keep up the great work. This site is awsome, something you should really be proud of.

    I have noticed a few problems using the latest released version of Safari on Mac OS X (version 1.2.2 specifically).

    1) Spellcheck does not work at all; all I see a box.

    2) There are no scroll bars in messages quoted within other messages; so I only see the first few lines of the quote.

    In addition, in all cases, time is reported in standard time and doesn't adjust for daylight time (or is that option hidden somewhere).

    Hmm...sounds like perhaps a javascript problem.
    There should be a link that says "Expand" and when you click this it will expand the quote window to show the full message. This will probably be taken out soon, doesn't seem to be as big of a hit as I thought it might be :)
    Go under Profile/Your Profile Tab/Profile Settings/Then you can set your timezone and set Daylight Savings Time.

    One thing that makes PriusChat difficult to use is that the logo is badly kerned: the T needs pushing up a bit closer to the A. Once that's fixed, the BBS will be perfect...

    (Okay, I was kidding about it being a showstopper - but the perfection ain't far off!)

    OK, Mozilla 1.7RC3 fixed the main page sizing issue.

    So now the site looks identical in both Mozilla and IE.

    I probably never would have noticed that if you hadn't pointed it out, but I sure do like your revised version better, now I can't look at the current logo without thinking there's a space b/w the A & T.

    That new PRIUSCHAT.COM logo at the top of the page looks great.

    I find that the repetition of the "Board Announcements" at the top of each Forum to be frustrating. I have seen the announcements when I visited the Priuschat Forum Index and I don't see a need to be forced to scroll past them each time I visit a new forum.

    Anyone else see this as a refinement?

    You can change how you see the Board Announcements in your Profile/Preferences.
