Saturday evening we will shut down North American Motoring to perform the vBulletin migration.

North American Motoring Version 2.0 should be up and running sometime Sunday.

Thanks for your support and your patience.

Is there going to be a temporary page saying something or will the site be taken completely down?

The site will be taken completely down, a temporary login page that I and the mods will be able to access while we're configuring the new site, and then the login page will be removed so that you can access the site.

We won't be starting until this evening so hopefully it will be up and operating for everyone tomorrow morning.

Mark

Nice new format - like it ... seems to be fast too; hope not just because not many people are back online yet.

Great work

New site looks great, and more modern then the last format. I can't figure out how to change the time though...can't find it in the user control panel.

Glad you guys like it.

It's been a lot of work to get things to this stage and we still have work to do, but it is quite satisfying seeing this all up and running.

Great new look!! Much easier to read, for me at least. I was already using the gray option at MINI2, so this is one more site that's going that direction. It looks like it was a fairly smooth migration, so kudos to the keyboard lads in the background, and to all at NAM - Well Done!

BCNU,
Rob in Dago

Looks Awesome Mark!! MUCH easier to read!

A couple of things I've noticed:

1) in looking at existing posts that have quotes, a number of them have the quoted material missing. I believe it's the ones that just used the '>' symbol to quote, rather than the html tags. I don't know if there's anything to be done about it. It would be a HUUUUUUGE job to go through each post to change it all, so I'm not holding my breath that there's a quick fix.

2) When I open a thread, the first post starts way down at the bottom of the page, below the navigation bars at the left, leaving a rather large empty space at the top of the page. I don't know if it's a system thing or not, but I'm on a Mac, using OS X and IE 5.2, if that helps at all. Oh yeah, making the window wider doesn't help the problem at all; it was the first thing I tried.

Oh yeah, the new smilies are wonderful!!!
:smile:
