I agree that looks too lopsided. Since you removed the category list and
the poll, that means you have way more vertical space there, why not just use that extra space to show more topics (like this)?

Another thought - for all forum pages other than the home page, make the Fiero logo 1/2 as big and cut down all the wasted space at the top of the page. (this also helps with larger font screens) |

The latest changes look great with the lettering size and margin.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

I'm liking the redesign of the front page.
It fits my netbook screen without having to scroll left and right. Probably better for you folks who might want to see the page on their iPhones or iPod Touches? |

Sorry I haven't got back to it just yet, I will and thanks for the suggestions, helps a lot as I'm much more of a developer than designer. Just held up with personal and business items at the moment. At least for now it's a bit better

I'm not sure if it appropriate for me to make any suggestions yet seeing as how I just got here so if it out of line then put me in my place!!!
On a couple of other sites I belong to, they have a car of the month posted in the top corner. It is a car that is finnished, used, abused, in various stages of build...what ever. It helps to recognise some of the work people do to their cars. They generally have a little wright up of the person who owns the car, what they've done to it or plan to do to it followed by a series of pictures. there is usually a quick link to the build thread, or theads. At the end of the year there is a pole set up for forum members to choose the car of the year!! It is all in good fun!!!! Again this is just an idea to mull over and if I have over stepped my boundries on my 3rd post I appologise here is a link to Hitman's Trans Am page and AllGenTransams if you want to look at the layout over there. hope this helps some |

Something along these lines? (just a rough design here but close)

Please define 'rough but close'. I like it so far.

Rough means that I'm not done refining the details in the design but I've got the overall look.
Well.. without any dissenting votes (thanks guys), I'll move forward with it and get something up soon. |

Graeme, I like the design. I know you're still "refining the details", so I'm hoping the top image will be leveled out. Otherwise, all the water in Burrard Inlet is going to slosh to the right.
Both Kevin and Austin took multiple panoramic shots at this location (which is real nice) in case another one of their shots might even work out better. They've both probably got higher resolution versions as well.

Hi Patrick
Yes, but look closely. The "horizon" isn't actually that much off level, it's the lens of the camera that is zoomed all the way out. But I agree with that sentiment and I do plan on adjusting the picture to look better. Good catch. Funny enough though, none of the pictures here are level, I thought I had found the best one: http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=202 8&PN=1 and it's Howe Sound that you're at there. Burrard inlet is on the other side of North Van |

One option we have is to "rotate" the best image (uncompressed version hopefully) a bit to level it out if need be.
Oops, you got me there!

Here's a good example of what is happening here. Notice the grid lines I've put in to show how the image is actually warped due to the lens that was used and what happens when you zoom all the way out with a camera. The bottom picture looks horrible now with the horizon fixed as all the cars look like they are falling off the parking lot. I'm guessing that anybody that took a picture lined up their cameras with the cars looking level.
Anyways, you got me interested in fixing this issue, so I've done that in the bottom one. There is both a very small angle fix but mostly lens correction for distortion.    |

Graeme, that bottom picture looks good. Now all you have to do is pull Dave's GT out of the hole (on the passenger side) he backed into!
