has the site been changed. Most of the new posts I've looked at have ads for pills etc about a page long. This sux.

The mobile site has been updated too. What I find nice is the button at the bottom to view the desktop version. Only glitch there is my particular phone has remembered to display the full site now. I'll figure out how to change that one back.

Overall, I quite like the new layout. It's quite clean. There are a few things that are hard to read due to contrast issues with the default colours, but maybe that might just be my eyes.

Another thing that is neat is when you view new posts, if you click on one to read it, it is removed from the new posts list until another new post is added.

before you rail agaist the upgrade, can I suggest you try something like Ad-Block Plus for firefox if the ad's are such a HUGE deal. Ad-Block Plus does wonders on all my fav news sites / auction sites.

Remember: Change is enevatable, progress is optional :)

There was a spambot that posted pages of pill advertisements. I think that was the cause of the issue, not the site.

I disagree, I think it is a rubbish idea, this "update" is definitely a step in the wrong direction. Steve really screwed it up this time... :nono:

I quite like it for the most part.

I agree with Daryl re. a few contrast issues (this here 'Quick Reply' box being a prime example).

My only other major gripe is that damned menu bar that follows you as you scroll down the page. Most of my time on TOCAU is at work, and I have my browser window as a narrow strip across the bottom of my screen. So as I scroll down, the menu bar takes up about 30% of my browsing space. A button to lock the bar to the top of the page instead of following you down would be nice.

I don't mind changes, we will adapt to changes... hopefully...

couple of things that i don't like,

  • R/H menu bar is too wide. I have my 24" standing up vertically instead of the usual widescreen and the menu takes up too much room.
  • When "Show All" button is pressed in my broswer (Maxthon) it opens up a new tab

Keep up the good work :clap:

My original signature automatically converted to embedded videos, which I don't want

Took me a while to change my signature back to hyperlink. I have removed the http part of the link..

If it still does not work, I have to convert to IP address !!

Not to show off, since I am a programmer (not php), this is my input...

look at the left for all our profile pictures, the images are all getting blurred, using Firebug, in css file,

http://au.toyotaowne...ss/prettify.css line 243

You are setting the height and width over there, which makes the images blurry. and in other pages, you are using a different size

This programming technique will resize the image and make it looks bad... The best technique is using a dynamic page to generate the image at run time, having the width and height specified at the top of the url.. example will be thumbnail.php?width=90&height=90&imagepath=encryptedpath

Now, I need to reupload my profile picture, and find it not working!!!

Anyways, I like the new site. Just require further polish and it will fly !!

Are you baiting? or is it you just being you?

It's a forum, how can it be going in the wrong direction? which is the right direction?

Screwed up?? really?

Oops I forgot to mention that I like it, especially the removal of oversized signatures option :D

Still haven't checked it out thoroughly but lovin the colour scheme..

What I don't like so far is members that have a pic on their profile setting (customization) now it can't be seen

Mobile version is much better.

My opinion, hence "I think", is neither right nor wrong. I don't care if I get hit with more ads since i don't pay for the "supporter benefits", but for the guys who pay and are now getting hit with more ads, is rubbish. If you don't like my opinion John, click ignore, but if you are cool with it, enjoy the rest of your day. ;)

I like the look of it, but it's far too laggy and most of the avatars are pixelated or out of proportion

Mobile version is BAWS though

I always read your opinions,most are negative some just come across as rude but I do read them,I don't ignore anyone, I just didn't understand the "direction" comment that's all,and thanks to BG Pete I am without ads now..

Carry on ;)

I am glad I am not the only one experiencing this issue. Scrolling down a page is a PITA on the new software. I don't mind the colour scheme but using it is terrible.

I don't mind the layout of the mobile version though, much better than the previous.

Ok Guys.. I understand not everyone likes changes or certain things. The reason for the right menu in posts is simple, we're going to be adding more features to the website, and this will really help with the navigation to new parts of the club since most people looking for an answer see the thread and nothing else. The highest bounce rate is a post page as a majority of people who find the club go directly to the post page. With crosslinking in the right to new features encourages more clicks through to other parts of the site.

As for ads. I am working on much lesser ads for paid members. It's like unpicking a ball string and putting all back together.

As for right menu and screen sizes, the Lofi version will really help with that (mobile version) it takes all the graphics out so great for when your at work.

The avatars, i am not happy with and did not realise that it would mess them up, so something i would like to look at asap.

All other notes will be looked at and taken on board.

one last thing.. we don't right the software, only the skin. So functions are beyond my control, but upgrades need to be done.

I kindda like it. I only have to get used to it.

I know from my experience that maintaining a web site and updating it takes a lot of work, so changes like this are really worth to mention. May be not everyone is happy with it at first glance, but I think that all new implementations sometimes need little adjustments to make it better.

Great work guys!

Cheers

I MUST BE MISSING SOMETHING. Running this on my Xoom Android Tablet I can't find any switch at the bottyom of the page to select desktop version or mobile. I prefer Desktop versions of all sites on my tablet, this looks terrible as a mobile on a tablet.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
