VIPFREAKDood, come on people, stop with the ad complaining... at least it's out of the way and not like IGN or UCP where to view pic you get a WHOLE PAGE devoted to one ad and if you want to view it you have to find the "skip" button. This is the most considerate site I've seen with ads. Be thankful... Once in a while subscribe, it's nice and it's not that bad. I mean you get coffee, smokes, or a burger everyday for $4.00 (some of you anyway).
FACT: Yes...it's better then those other sites
FACT: I don't mind that GTPlanet has 'ads'...hell, every web-master has to make money somehow and for a site like GTPlanet, it's the best revenue creator!
FACT: It's NOT really 'out of the way', considering at the bottom of every page you see this size of OPEN space

FACT: I'm pretty damn well sure Jordan makes more money from 'ad-space' then he does from users upgrading to Premium status, but that shouldn't have to alter how BIG the ads have to be!
FACT: Again, I don't mind that GTPlanet has ads, it's just the size of the ad-space itself and how 'empty' that space is, which distracts from everything else...IMHO!

EMERGENCY!!! The old site logo was much better stylistically than the new one that just got updated!!
And the smileys don't work for me when I click on them. Neither does the font colour drop down menu.
And quotes of Famine aren't automatically bold anymore so everyone will have to use damned bold tags. There should be some custom code for this guys (just when you are quoting said member).

It's so...so...SHINY!
Really, though, it feels much more taught and clean, like the GSX-R/4 carving Tsukuba...(yes, I've fallen in love with it...)

Thanks for the kind words, everyone - I am glad most of you enjoy the new site! Everyone who is having problems, please report them as a new thread in the Site Feedback forum. I know several of you are having problems with smilies and the "New Post" link. Please post them in the appropriate place for me to help you.
Line spacing has increased. It's a proven way to increase readability of text.
I'm testing the 250x250 ads at the bottom to see if it improves the number of clicks. The old vertical format made next to nothing. If it doesn't improve, I will switch back to the old one.
No. Remember, I don't want this to become a ranking system.
No, I think their current names and locations are more logical and descriptive.

Fairy snuff (edit: I've just noticed that you can view your own in your Profile).
I'm also curious - call me a technophobe if you will - what the "RSS" link near the top of the page does - or rather is meant to do. When I clicked on it I got a stream of HTML gibberish.

I don't recall it being a problem at all. It hasn't been a proven problem with any other website or book.

Wow. Jordan, you've simply outdone yourself this time. I really thought that GTP had reached perfection with GTP6. I haven't discovered quite all of the new features, but I look forward to exploring and rediscovering GTPlanet again.
These redesigns are the one of several reasons why I've stuck around for so long. I always look forward to something like a site revision even if the current version is practically perfect.
Simply amazing.
EDIT: Just testing the new quick edit... How come you have to put tags in to put text on a separate line? Not sure if I like that (I can understand why since the site is XHTML now, though).

That's probably because typographers have taken advantage of this technique for hundreds of years.
Take a look at http://www.whatisrss.com/. It does a pretty good job of explaining this form of content syndication.
I just noticed this. James, could you elaborate on why you think the old logo was better?James12345

Ok, I have a small thing that bugs me a little bit... The Search box on the right side of the page to search the entire site and also having "Search" on the left side of the page for the Forums confuses me somewhat. Would it clarify the left link to maybe rename it to something like "Search Forums"?

Big gap to top of quote because of those ads.... (possibly dependent on skin)
Jordan
I was actually referring to the overlapping text in the line(s) with the big "way"s
I should've mentioned exactly what I meant.

It looks fantastic, but I'm not really digging the fact that the boards take up 100% of the screen width. The extra width just makes it seem as though there's more to read. If you do something like 80%, it's more readable...but that might mean a lot of reworking in the CSS on your part

Wow this is amazing!! great work Jordan! I love the new cleaner look aswell as the new logo and pictures of GT4... plus all the new features and bigger user avatars!!
oh, there is one thing though, the text in the quote boxes used to be in bold font making it easy to glance and see them easily in a block of text, I know they are in boxes but I was wondering if it was possible to make them bold again??.. Its only a small thought....

wow man, you sure know how to make people happy. Like you said man, you notice a change in style, yet it feels the same as ever before, nice of you to stick with the colors. R.I.P. vBulletin 3.0, hello gtp 8!!!
edit
h, and i have noticed on some pages, you know at the top where you have the pics of cars, slight errors in the selection of the left side of the car, a little fade and soft brushing go a long way. But the new pics are a welcome change!

It's nice, but it lacks the post counts on GTP Lite. I like knowing what I'm up against in a conversation. Not to mention, there's no joining date. Man, I'm starting to dislike this by the minute.
Great, just picked up something else. No thread starter names underneath each thread. ....... Can I have the last version back please?
