    PriusChat has a new look! We decided since the Prius itself is getting a fresh, updated look, then it was high time PriusChat do the same. I hope you enjoy the new look and I'll dive into explaining the new features soon! Danny

    I wasn't able to do everything I wanted to tonight, but it's 4am and I've been up for 22 hours.

    The forums will be converted over tomorrow (or should I say today?), and then I'll start tackling bugs and little things here and there.

    Looks like the site was down from around 11:20pm until just before 4am. How much more do you have to do to get everything switched over?
    The front page looks great BTW.

    Looks great Danny, fresh and more modern. But make sure there's a button on the mainpage to directly go and view all new posts in the forums w/o having to go into the forums first. ;)

    great job on the new look!


    will the new forums still have the unread posts link? that is one of my favorite features of this board.

    Nice job! That gives me courage to freshen up some of my own sites - now I just need to find the time!

    Thanks for taking the time to give us something with visual appeal but without sacrificing the substance!

    First I have to update the forum software to the latest version, then import the theme over from the development site to the live site. Then I've got a couple hours' worth of modifications to do to add back in the non-standard features that we have on the forums today.

    Should be worth the wait, though! I think Nichole and I are going to spend our first Saturday at home since before the Detroit trip out and about, so I'll probably start with the upgrades again tonight.

    I'm looking forward to your feedback on the front-end! Keep the good comments coming, but I want to hear the bad ones, too (if there are any)!

    Oh it's crap Danny, you have made a real botch of it.

    Only kidding, you said you wanted bad comments too.
    Doing a great job as always Danny, thanks for the work you put in for us all.

    Well done Danny. A very clean up-dated contemporary look. I noticed you switched the photos from the left to right. Like left hand drive to right hand drive. Thanks for all the work you do !!!

    Very fine job.

    U wanna complaint?

    It looks like it was done by Toyota marketing. (I suspect that was your intent. The colors, layout all cook inspired by the 2010 rollout).
