Why do you want dark mode? Are you from the Dark Side? Do they have cookies at the meetings?

Just curious.

Seriously - it saves battery life on your phone. Which let's be honest, is how most people are probably looking at this site.

Also it's easier on your eyes. But mostly the first thing..

Anyone getting loads of notifications that someone has responded to a thread you're subscribed to? I've turned off almost every notification setting, and I'm still getting them.

Yes - just go into your setting and uncheck all the options you dont want for notifications. I had them all off before but had to go in and turn them off again

The one item I like now, is that you can type in a page number you'd like to go to immediately in a thread. Don't remember it being there pre-update. What I do miss is, on the old website, you could click on to what is now known as "Responses" and you could view any posters posts (All his/her posts) in any certain huge Thread like "Nonesense Thread" for example.

The speed on the site has improved since being up. Thanks!

Noted on the quick logouts and odd errors, I have yet to see any errors but I'm still tweaking PHP in regards to performance, My guess is we have a script that is timing out.

Once we get things stable I'll look into a dark mode and some other adjustments.

Also, look into (Whenever time permits) YouTube embedding.

Agreed!
I have a Samsung S9 and recently tried the dark mode.
Battery life was SERIOUSLY extended!

The only two things I had checked didn't have anything to do with the notifications I was getting, and even after unchecking everything, I'm still getting notifications.

There's one bug I noticed when logging in. It creates a box underneath the top menu and you have to refresh to get the menu items on the top bar. Other than that, it's working smoothly. Ignore the haters, I like the newer version of VB better.

This is sick and I love it.

Thanks for the upgrade!

i think i found a glitch. under the setting to make the text bigger it does not save the font size it reverts back to small everytime.

When I try to search anything "specifically turbo builds" it goes posts from today, and then circa 2004. I assume there's at least one post with turbo mentioned somewhere in between those dates

Nope. Turbos were only rediscovered recently. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a preference thing. I use VS or more recently VS Code for dev work, and they default to light text on black background. It’s easier for long periods of staring at the screen. Same if you are doing a bunch of command line stuff. Some guys like a light background and will invert the display, but I prefer light on black. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks to James and all involved with the upgrade, it's definitely an improvement although I do miss the old layout a bit, nostalgia I guess. I'm sure things will improve over the next days/weeks as the bugs are worked out. The interface is definitely easier to work with.

Only thing I've had trouble with is that you're only allowed to attach 5 photos per post, whereas the old site was 30. Makes for a lot of extra unnecessary posts. Is this only temporary?

[E30 Wagen]

I don't want to criticize the site logo, but maybe we could come up with a new graphic or something for the top of the page? I've got some ideas but no photoshop skills. I think something that shows off the variety of e30s would be cool - early/late models, coupe/sedan/vert/touring, plain options/mtech cars, M3, iX, euro/US, m10/m20/m42 etc...

[bradnic]

I do like the new setup. It will take time to get used to, but I'm 100% on board.

ISSUE: I like to edit my posts... apparently that makes me a spammer now? I have two posts awaiting moderation.

FYI, if anyone else is wondering how to get a bigger editor window, click and drag the bunch of dots below "write something".

Is there a stand-alone editor option, so previews are on the same page, not in a popup?
