Looking for Some input form you good people
Ok, so I know Cristine and I both have been absent for a while now. However, It doesn't mean we don't think about all of you. Just one of those, "life getting in the way" times for us.
So, I haven't made any backend updates to the forums in too long and so there will be some maint coming. What I would like from you fine folks are any sugestions/ideas for functionality that might like to see here on the forums. Things like a quick reply and forums graphics that actually have something to do with Cabby's (I've been on Cristines case about this as of late anyway).
The way I see it, when I grab the time to upgrade all the backend software, I might as well make some modifications while I'm there and make the forums a bit more user friendly. So lets hear what you'd like.

I like long walks in the rain.

A warm snuggly rabbit or kitten
I think you should try to correct global warming.
and a sunset with the one you love ...............

Re: Looking for Some input form you good people
Is it sad that you repsonded exactly as I thought you would?
As for the global warming, well, I'm not trading my rocco for a prius, so that one is out.
Brian, glad you at least repsonded with something. Now how about putting something up here that usefull

New Cabby/Rabbit 'vert banner/header would be cool.
I like the quick reply idea too.
I, for one, love global warming... global cooling would kill me!

Re: Looking for Some input form you good people
The only serious thing I can think of is maybe change it so when you click on a link, the target will open in a new window.
Other than that, Global Warming, I'm not buying a Pyrus either.

The quick reply is a great idea.

Aren't we all enjoying the Cheap gas?

I'm going to guess around 1.2°F.

Re: Looking for Some input form you good people
Ok, so far the list is as such
1. Fix the damn graphics so that ppl actually know this is a cabby site
2. Quick reply addon
3. External links open in new window ( this one might be tricky as I'm pretty sure I'll have to recode for this, but I have them same complain, so it will be well worth it if I can figure it out)
As for Al Gore, I'm not getting near his mouth.

Re: Looking for Some input form you good people
I have a suggestion, Briano1234 has alot of experience with these VW's maybe put his writeups with pics in all in a separate area for quick reference? also link them to cabbyinfo (another GREAT site for us).

of my first in 1981, a Diesel Rabbit.
I don't do how-to's on things covered in others threads, but when there is woefully lacking information,
I will create one. as in who has ever installed a top using Forest Kings write up?
Your wish was my command:
I know they link all over, but all the how-to's are

Re: Looking for Some input form you good people
