PET REMEMBRANCE

Post them here, then we will try to solve it in timely matter. Got a question about feature of the site? Ask away. We will be glad to help you out.

Can you show us the ranks? Like when you get better and better from "Drivers Ed Student" and up? Not a big deal, but it would be cool to see.

['Vette Dude]

Two more suggestions: Why not shorten the country "United_States_of_America" to US or USA. It would make the sidebar shorter.

Also, the images that denote how many posts you have mand (you know, the different Pontiacs) should be sized to keep the aspect ratio. All of them are 80x80 right now, and a lot of them look stretched and warped. Maybe 60x80 or 80x60 for some of them. It isn't a big deal, I'm just trying to help make the site look better.

Sorry for the delay in replying for these great ideas.

For the PIP(Pontiac ranks pics), I will give a strong consideration, and will make the change shortly, and will be adding a few more later. EDIT: DONE

For the country, since the code I put in for it, is really buggy(as you have noticed, on some posts, it won't even show up), and doesn't like the capitalization, so instead of having usa, I thought it would be better to have it like united_states_of_america. You got it, it doesn't work with spaces either, so.... Also, if I make the change now, ALL of our members who is using the feature, will have to re-select, for it may discard all that is being used right now, that's how buggy the code is, and I am not going to remove it, since the code also have a connection with the flag code, that I've been looking for since last year on my other site, that will really screw up if I change it, you know, the little flag pic that shows up according to your country selection? I think it is better as is, well, in my opinion. It may come out as capitalized but it is partly done by the flag code, that kinda corrects that bugs, but if I change it, no-one knows what's going to happen.

For the ranks, well, I kinda did it intentionally, it would be fun to find out what will be your next rank as you reach them, rather than seeing them all at the same time would it? Though the rank name may change in the future as I find the better names.

I'd like to see a 'garage' type archive where people can post pics of their Pontiac's, do a little write up and explain any modifications done to their cars.

Probably would be a lot of work but I think it would be cool to have something like that.

[GrandPrix08]

Actually, there IS one.

http://forums.pontiac-tribute.com/index.php?showforum=26

It's under 'Member Showcase' category. The forum is empty as of yet,(part of the reason why we need more members for) but its how you make use of it. You can use that forum at your hearts content to post your killer pontiac's there or what have you. That forum is opened to EVERY MEMBER so that he/she can really show off what they have and let the others drool about it. Make good use of it.

I made a higher-quality banner for the site if you want. GIF isn't a very good image compression format, and that's what's currently used. If you want me to make any changes, tell me. It's not hard:

[GrandPrix08]

Thanx, I am going to search for some good skins out there so we can use them here and once we get some new members who is active enough, we will be getting the skin chooser back(we may remove the tournament central in place of it, since it isn't that popular than expected), that will feature different banner per skin. I am planning on having ALL Pontiac models featured. Old and New, spanning a LOT of model years, no matter if it is imported Pontiac(G3, G8, recent GTO), or a re-badged Pontiac(G5, Torrent). So, it will only get better.

Thanx Vette_Dude. It will be the banner that will be used for the first new skin that will get added.

['Vette Dude]

OK, sounds good! I can make a few more if you would like.

[GrandPrix08]

They are always welcome. Your banner is awesome, and I personally want to see more. I will probably going to browse for some new skins in about a week or two, and if we can get some new members in, who will stay and post with us regularly, we may get the skin chooser back.

Thanx.

Is there a way to make the sidebar uniform color for both pictures? Like the place where the username and avatar and country and other info it. Because it looks kinda weird having just a sliver of the screamin' chicken on it, or part of a car. If you could do that, it might make the site look a lot better. Just an idea, that of course you don't have to follow.

[Chieftain]

That will be awesome, if that can be done.

Question, how do you change the little car pic on your left. I tried to change my icon, that didn't work, something about not a right image type, and the little car pic will stay there. Not one of my favorite Pontiac.

[GrandPrix08]

The little car pic you see there is called the PIP. It changes automatically when you reach certain post count. So, the only way to replace that T1000 on your left is to post, post, post. If you have read few posts above this, you might have read about it however.

About the pic you are trying to use for your avatar, what format is it? I am sure the site takes Jpg, Gif and among some of the popular ones out there.
