3. Find out how to FORCE users to update location & ride, including current users.
4. Fix "View Vehicle" button image in posts.

Wanted:
Add a Forms link to the header next to " My Controls ยท View New Posts ยท My Assistant ยท 0 New Messages"
Not a necessity, but when I am in a post and want to look up something in another post, its easier to right click & open in new window.

A feature I liked on the old software was the post preview. When you put the cursor over the topic, a preview of the post popped up. At the moment you just get when the post was added.
We need the old smilies back to. These smilies are lame 02.gif

suggestions:
1. Shoutbox:
a. show date AND time of the post. not seeing the time bothers me for some unknown reason
b. make a "view history" button like on the original shoutbox. after coming back to the site after 12 hours, i had to go back like 6+ pages to view everything i missed.
2. Smilies (hehe). i want them back, dammit! i stayed up til like 3 one morning workin on that sh1t, then had to go to class that morning
3. Swearing. f*** c***. need the censorship back up

Ok. I was just thinking that a "how things work" would be cool. Explaining How a cam gears, pulleys, turbos and everything work and the pros and cons of the part. More like a review but also a learning kinda thing. for idiots.... LIKE ME!!! just a thought!

Let's try it out and see how it works. If we like it, we'll get rid of Forsale/wanted. BTW, is there a place where we can see it setup allready before we try?

I'll email them to you this afternoon.

Never saw it, but I'd like to put a banner up for kspec.com again. Also, I'd like to put up some RDTib banners and other site banners at kspec's forums.
