Well, no, but that'd probably be about the most effective marketing we could ever do. . .


MotorGen historical tidbit. In trying to think of names oh so many years ago, it was getting late and we came up with some pretty colorful ones. I especially like "Pit Cake" and "Motor Milk". I've wanted to brew my own ale for a long time. Maybe I should make my own blend and call it Motor Milk.

[SeanPlunk]

I know I'm excited :thumbs_up:

[BRUTAL64]

Ok, I ready. So when?:drink:

[BlacknBoostn]

We'll take it under consideration. Post away. The regional section is going to be completely redone.

[BRUTAL64]

Can you change the background color? White is too bright.:pot_stir:

Would you prefer a tiled background of sweaty arm pits and butt cracks?

That was my main concern actually haha. Too many different states that aren't needed IMO... we're basically socal. now if one of us happens to move we can get THOSE car guys involved haha.

i retract my previous statement. THIS is my main concern.. :barf:

[BRUTAL64]

Well, if it's female there could be something said for that. If it's male...well all I have to do is look in the mirror ................. hairy butt crack.:smack:

No can haz cookie.

We do have a Race Queens/ Models (http://motorgen.com/pic/showgallery.php/cat/830) photo category. That's about as naughty as things are going to get around here.

Those were carefully selected for variety and quality to ensure a good starting point. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it. :thumbs_up:

As noted in another thread, we now have media embedding. For example, you can just grab the URL from YT and insert between regular URL tags (the little Earth with a link above) and poof your video will show. Like Brutal's favorite swap. :)

Well, I'm not excited yet. I tried to put something from U-tube on here ... no go.

Tried to upload pictures (which I have done before)..... no go.

Don't over think it. Just put the YT URL in a regular link, like you'd lin any page.

GT40 Burnout

Pics. Que?

[BRUTAL64]

Me, over think anything??? Now, that is funny.:laugh:

[SeanPlunk]

The facelift is up (obviously). Hope you all enjoy.

[BRUTAL64]

The white background is still too bright. Could you tone it down a little?
Thank you for your attention.:sm_up_there:

I actually like the white, but what color would you prefer?

[BRUTAL64]

I like 'white" also--but not when it glares back at me. Just need to go like a lite shade of blue or green. Even a gray would tone it down some. Do just enough to cut the glare. Thanks for your attention.:bigthumbsup:

Glenn, some questions:

1 - Did you have a hangover today?
2 - Is the white on this site, uh, somehow different than the white on other sites?
3 - It might be a contrast issue on your monitor. Because it's surround with black/dark colors, the white "pops" especially if you have your brightness/contrast cranked up. Play around with those settings on your onitor a little before we try to reinvent white. :smack:

So you don't want to change it, that's fine. Just don't try and blame me for the "white" you have on here.:p


BTW; I do know about all those little buttons on my monitor.:smack:

We might try to make it a user option to select the forum background and text color. Sometimes I like white letter on a blue background.

That works for me.:bigthumbsup:

There's a light gray style made just for you! Go to the bottom of the page and you can select a style now. Choose the Motorgen - Light Gray style. Hope your eyes are happier!

I really appreciate your effort here. But, I don't see a difference in the color. Thanks for trying. :bigthumbsup:

It's subtle, but I can see the difference. Maybe it is your monitor? :huh:

The whites have been toned down a little more. Check the contrast and brightness settings on your monitor - if either is up near 100%, that could explain why the whites are so blown out. Try switching back and forth between the two Motorgen styles to see if you notice a difference. Are there other sites with a lot of white in them that you sometimes go to? If you can, try this comparison - open the Google homepage (almost all white) and resize your browser to half of the screen. Open another browser with the Motorgen forum in it using the light gray style, resize that browser to half the screen and place it next to the browser with Google in it so you can see them side by side. Are both whites equally hard on your eyes, and do the whites look the same?

[motochi]

New style: try the Motorgen - Dark style.

[motochi]

Out of curiosity, on you monitor, do the dark greys all look the same, or are there visible differences among them? Thanks!

Yes, I do know about the little button on my monitor. There was no change between the colors. I'll live with it. Too much work is being put into this.:drink:

[BRUTAL64]

It's changed to the light gray now. Much better!!!!


Ok..........you guys ROCK!.:drink:

[Leedom]

The dark setting is pretty cool. I actually really like the light gray setting.

See.........I'm not totally brain damaged.:rolleyes:

[Vettezuki]

What do you guys think of making the dark setting the default? I think it works quite well and makes some of the text (like the recent threads on the home page) more visually interesting. It makes the differentiation of elements pop out more.

The dark is definitely my choice :judge:

"Once you go black, we don't want you back." (Or something like that).:smack:
