Basically the "Articles" page is the home page now. If you click on Articles, you will see listings from Ebay. I have worked on that to get rid of most of the JUNK that was showing up before. I don't know why pictures aren't showing up but will be working on that next week. The listings are pretty darn good though.

Now you have a choice. Red, Green, Blue or Gray. Is there another one that would be popular to some of you? Not ONE of you. I can't create a different theme for everybody.

OK....somebody asked for green. You got it.

I also just added a gray/black theme. Folks, it takes a while to really do these right. I know that some of you want more color choices but it's not a quick and easy thing to do. I am willing to try and give you what I want but please be patient. Even the ones that are now available still need tweaking. Yes, I have tried to tone down the red a bit. I like it but I understand that it is too bright for some. You can check out the gray also.

Not obscured, Just entirely different. They change colors depending on whether or not the thread has new posts.

Just want to post a HUGE thanks for ChrisM for helping with the style edits on the site. I was working hard on the Red and then quickly through up a Blue but they weren't great. Chris sent me a PM offering some suggestions and I actually talked him into helping out. Really didn't have to talk him into it, he was more than willing to help. He started by cleaning up the VR Logo and then adding the color gradients and etc. to the headers. Also corrected some spacing and padding issues. He is just much better at that stuff than I am and saved me a lot of work Thanks much Chris. You are appreciated.

There may be other colors but not today. Does the blue hurt your eyes also?

No, that's what we have already.

I've again made Red the default for the forum. Still working on it but it's getting there. If you prefer the blue, simple scroll down and select "BLUE" in the bottom left corner.

I personally really like the red. It is a work in progress and is not exactly how we want it yet. It is evolving though and I think looks better all the time. You can switch from Blue to Red and back anytime you wish. Just scroll to the bottom and use the selection box in the left corner.

No, it can't be turned off. We had the same type pictures on the old site too and they couldn't be turned off either.

If you are talking about the color, you can switch to blue. If you are talking about everything, sorry, we had to make the change and aren't going back.

I made blue the default for now until we get the red straightened out. You can click at the lower left bottom to check the red now and then to see if it's corrected yet.

I am going to replace them. That one has nothing for PayPal, shipping, etc. Too limited. Will probably be next week though. In the meantime, if you just can't wait, put your item in the Links to Classifieds folder.

Click on PhtoPlog. Then small menu at top "upload".

Not sure. It can be done but is a LOT of manual template editing. Will think about it.

Folks, please hold off on adding your things to the Classifieds. Not sure I'm going to stay with that one. Will let you know soon.

You need to reset your bookmarks. The Homepage is simply: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/content.php

I may just leave them as is this time. That is a manual template edit that has to be redone everytime there is a minor site upgrade. I'm going to try and keep those to a minimum gong forward.

All gone. There was a post about it in another thread. We have gone to an entire new system and there was no way to import the existing ads. Sorry, you will all just have to create new ads.

Well folks....that's enough for today. 5:30 in the morning. It will have to do for now. Probably won't get a lot more done on it for a couple of days but will continue tweaking until I get it right. At least it is functional. Good Night John Boy.

You folks check it out and let me know if it will accept your VBulletin logins now. I HOPE I've got that sorted out.

I know I have some tweaking to do on the Red theme. Some things are hard to read but I'll get it worked out soon. For those who prefer blue though, I have added the blue default theme to your choices. At the very bottom left corner of the screen when your scroll all the way down, you will see a drop down menu where you can change it. Just choose "Default" and you'll get your blue back.

OK. I just updated and re-configured TapaTalk. I tested it on my Android and it worked great. Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Classifieds are now functional. A lot different than what we had before but I think that they will work much better once we get used to them. Haven't set specific member vendors categories yet. Do you want them or do you member vendors just want to post your ads in the appropriate related areas?
