It may not seem like much, but I really like te feature that lets others see who is viewing a thread. That would be cool here if you like. :o
[edit] I also noticed that in our profiles, the lettering is white on a white background.

Enabling this option will show the current users browsing a particular forum on forumdisplay.php while adding one query. This can have an effect on performance. The Alphabetical option requires more resources than the random option.

Enabled :)

[CODY2003]

Thx. much better
I was thinking you might want to make a general apperance forum, concidering that the engine classification sections would be more oriented toward performance mods. Just a thought.

[_eazy_]

and a good thought too... like, have a Body, Interior, and Misc. thread

[csc]

dont see nothin bad yet, but i'll let ya kno if i do!

[Domin8stang]

yah i'll talk to j about that stuff cody, and maybe we'll add it...maybe just a general Mustang Forum, where all that stuff can go...we dont want to dividethings up into too many little areas u know...so maybe a anything mustangs forum...

[Frank Drebin]

I'd like to have a link at the bottom om the thread to refresh and redirect you to the forum you're in.

[Domin8stang]

i'll let jay know in the morning and see if we cant do that :thumbup:

[232stang]

why is it that in every thread that i post, i automatically subscribe :confused:

Hi Guys!
Some of you already know me from 3.8. For those who don't. Im stang gurl!
First of all, the site looks awesome... good job guys! :j:
I have two suggestions to keep this site amazing:

To the moderators:
You are the authority figures of the forum. You set examples and maintain order on the boards. Its an important job and full of responsibility. Other forums have allowed thier mods to treat members with disrespect and abuse thier mod status. Maintain the rules and show everyone respect and the moral of this site will be unlike any other mustang site and make it a more friendly environment for members old and new.

To the members:
Members are going to disagree and not share the same views 100% of the time. It's perfectly kool to agree to disagree. Keeping the flaming to a minimum will not only make this site a more comfortable place to visit and encourage other folks to register, but, it will also ease the load that the moderators have to deal with and keep them in a good mood lol. I realize we are all human and have disagreements or make jokes. But knowing when the joke or disagreement is over, inappropriate, hurtful, not needed, or heading in an ugly direction is key in preventing flame wars and dampering the success of this site.

Personally, I love visiting my mustang forums. But like everyone else, I don't like getting flamed for having different tastes and such. Lets all try to appriciate everyones diversity in thier cars and thier personalities and this site is going to OWN ALL!

Thanks for letting me speak my mind and I look forward to making new mustang friends here.

I wanted a GT but two things stood in my way:

A) they wouldnt finance me for that much $$$ and...
2) I cant drive a stick lol....

Easy suggestion for the boards.

After making a post, you have to scroll all the way to the top to get back to the link to the list of threads.

If I could say, get to the lounge, by clicking a link at the bottom of the page instead of having to scrroll all the way up... I would be very happy.

Great site! :j:

I think it looks really good.

[MustangFan]

I would like to post under the s/n (MustangFan) I originally chose when I signed up tp GS.com

[Stang Gurl]

I have another suggestion guys... could you add a RULES sticky somewhere so that folks know what will get them warnings, bans, and what they are not supposed to do on the site? We had an incident over last night that kept me busy and they remarked that they could do what they wanted because they werent breaking any of the rules. I think the rules need to be specifically outlined for the good of the site. JMO.

thanks

rut row, someones in trouble

[CODY2003]

Just an little detail, but when I edit the title of one of my threads it changes in the actuall thread but not on the forum page. Can you change this? I updated my thread and the title didn't change so noone knows. :cussing:

[J]

You have to have admin to do that currently... let me check on this.

[J]

OK... try re-editing your thread.

[_eazy_]

really? who is making this?
@ the time i posted that i ran the idea by you a couple times and you thought it was fine... so i figured you were doing that

[J]

What exactly do you want to see? A timeslip section on gotstang.com? like in their profile? They have an option to upload a timeslip?

[_eazy_]

What exactly do you want to see? A timeslip section on gotstang.com? like in their profile? They have an option to upload a timeslip?
make a new section (in the forums) titled GotStang's Fastest

and go in order of time... do 1/4 and 1/8 mile times..

you put it something like this (exclude the dots)

Name.....1/4 mile time & mph......1/8 mile time & mph......r/t.....60'.....mods

[J]

oh so just use the forums?

I mean I dont want to have duplicate data... there is already a 1/4 time over at gotstang.com...

[_eazy_]

oh so just use the forums?

then rename that to GotStang's fastest and link it to the new forum

[CODY2003]

OK... try re-editing your thread.
No worky.

[J]

No worky.
OK try it once more.. I guess setting the allowed time to edit a thread title to 0 only disables it all together instead of allowing it all times... I set it to like 1000000000000000000000000000000 seconds... so try it now.

Hey J. I was thinkin, on the main page the user tools that you have on the left are kinda small. What about making buttons instead of just hyperlinks so that people like me with higher resolutions can click them easier. :thumpupn:

[4havnfun]

I'm liking the site but I'm having trouble keeping track of which stangs I've already ranked. It would be nice if the ranking pages showed you which ones you had already ranked.

Just my 0.02 worth. :beerchug:

[stalkerbabe]

nevermind!
did i help you

[4havnfun]

http://www.gotstang.com/maint.php?edit=whovoted

Thanks but what I was looking for was some way of figuring out who I hadn't ranked yet out of all of the members with websites. I started going through the web sites one by one but as people get ranked they move around and I've lost track of which ones I have done. It would be great if the same red/green indicator that shows up when you look at who has ranked you could show up when you displayed the car ranks. Showing the existing score you gave them would also be a nice touch.

I was going to do this... I just dont see a point... When yer browsing the site... and you see someone... its quicker to click on their website then to scroll through a list of 50+ names to see if you have ranked them... IMO.

It falls under the category of "different strokes for different folks". It would work for me but if you see it another way that's cool as well.

The only way to maybe make this work would to make the persons username/website link a different color if yuo havent ranked them yet....

[Jim03svt]

This is a maintainence idea.
I was wondering how possible it would be to add a delete check box to the private guestbook messages, so that if a member has accumulated HUNDREDS they could check the boxes then click on ONE delete link to clean it up. I had let mine build up since November...had 400 plus and it took me all night to delete them. I will try to clean house more often in the future, but I thought I'd throw this idea out here and see what y'all thought.

Thant would work for me :beerchug:

[4havnfun]

Just noticed that the car ranking provided on this page is actually one better than your actual ranking.

[nufc1]

hi J let me say you are puttong so much work into this site ! and i know i mat be a pest BUT . you did great with the delete old messages ! could you do the same with the upload to your web site as well SORRY but my pute is slow ! and when i get into loading pics i forget to delete the and wow i got %hit loads of pics taking up space . you did it once could you do it to get rid of pics uploded to website as well ? hope you dont think i am a bother ! if you do lmao tuff luck i love this site so much you will have to BAN me . cheers m8

[LeonSORTX]

Hey J!!!

I really enjoy the website !! This is a great idea ya got going here..... Maybe you can add an "Event Calendar" so Members of clubs can add any big events or meets?

Leon

[levi505]

was wondering if the t-shirts come in black with white lettering and if not could it? would love to get a black shirt. thanx

[crimsonblack]

I think there should be Best of on the site. Stuff like "BEST" Engine 5.0 and 4.6, Interior upgrade/mod Fox Body & SN95 models (or all together with bonus points for the age of the vehicle; body mod; rim appearance on a mustang; girl on a mustang; etc. The site spends to much time worrying about rating each other for points that don't mean anything, rather than using this great site for sharing ideas, experiences, modifications, how to's and so on.

What about a "How To" area for Got Stang? I have seen some great after market add-ons and modifications that these people are doing themselves. They could take pictures and explain how the step by step is done. This would make others more comfortable tearing the pony down if they knew what was involved to do it. Wing Doors, interior mods, engine upgrades, ground effects kits, prepping to get the pony painted, whatever.

[hrsepwrbrat]

Ok I have a suggestion. If you already have it and I missed it, sorry! How about a thing where you can read what you replied to someone in the guestbook? I sometimes check it real quick and don't remember whether I replied to someone or not...

[LeonSORTX]

was wondering if the t-shirts come in black with white lettering and if not could it? would love to get a black shirt. thanx

A big "Bump" on the black shirt!! I would buy one!! Also I would like to see a feature where you can search by year of make for all the Mustangs here!!

Leon

[sublime302]

yeah black shirt would be good, i'd buy one... and a black tank shirt for my girl too...

j can we have a slightly larger avatar ?????????

[J]

j can we have a slightly larger avatar ?????????
On the forums? Or on gotstang.com?

[nufc1]

why not both there seems to be plenty room . just a thought

[cdhstang]

A section that breaks it into section of the US

[Nicoleb3x3]

What about a contest? I'd like to be able to win something! Like a GotStang hoody!

[Black Stallion]

I think a section for people with Steeda mustangs would be pretty sweet. I mean we have a Roush and Saleen section, why not Steeda? Just my .02 :devil: Keep up the great work J, love the site.

[Nicoleb3x3]

Hi J, when you get time can you consider this?

-Upload files...add option to upload multiple files..similar to the manage web site area?

-Option to change the default text size in the user's new posts...I always like to post in size 2...but need to do it manually each time I post???

[crimsonblack]

Yeah, size 2 default would be nice. Everyone seems to be using it, and having to do it for every entry makes it a pain in the rumpola.

[fordfanboi]

The thing I like most about the OTHER site I frequent is that it allows full HTML code on my pages. I'm able to order / size the pics, embed a movie, etc. That's the only thing that held me back from moving in here back in April? when I joined, allthough, I'm trying to move in now. ;)

Any chance we'll be able to have more control on our pages here? :naughty:

Please speak up, what do you want to be able to do? The only HTML code I strip out is javascript.

[fordfanboi]

Hold that thought... looks like I can do more than previously stated! :smack:

I do have JS on my other pages, but it's not an absolute need. Damn - teach me to post before actually trying it again! My bad!

Was HTML available before April too?

I think it would be good if we could vote on our cars in the car show as well. I know of a few people who won't vote in their category just cuz they can't vote for themselves and don't want to help someone else beat them

When you go to view somebodys profile from say there website when u click on there profile button. It shows there GSM# logo right below General info. Thats the pic i'm referring to.

[91GT347]

this is true.

[88GTGirl]

Unless I am missing something a better help or FAQ section would be helpful.. There are things I don't understand and can't find help on it.

Maybe a 100K horse would be a good idea now. Maybe a flo. green or bright yellow.
