Just wanted to say I really like the look of the site. Going to send in my membership dues now.

I realize that "good design" as syndr0me mentions should handle any resolution, but there is an awful lot to fit into each page here, and 640 across (more like 600 after scrollbars and such) is not much at all. The left hand banner space is around 120, the avatar area is around 200, plus it needs to fit in the logo and banner at the top which is over 640 all in all. I can't think of a very good way to make it viewable with that, unfortunately. I'll give it a shot on my test site tomorrow though.
On an unrelated note, now that the "Welcome, username" box in the upper right contains private message counts, does that make displaying the PM info right below it superfluous?

I apologize if that sounded like a dig, I didn't mean it as such. Clearly there are limits. I think the site's design is just great, and extremely usable. There's a few quirks here and there, but it sounds like you know about them, and know what you're doing. :-) I just felt it was important to point out that as monitors get bigger, many people will run things in multiple windows rather than maximize everything. In this case, there's benefit of a design that can render properly in small windows regardless of the end user's resolution.

Regarding the PM box, I actually am going to re-do that entire bar to include some additional info, just haven't had the chance yet.

Just wanted to say thanks to Shane and his crew for giving us this forum.
I too was startled by the new logo when I first saw it but I kinda think its cool now, alittle retro and thats good.
To J.Filipow,
Maybe you could design a R/C vehicle of some type below the TECH part of the logo. That way the "feel" or look is the same but we kind of have a symbol of a rc vehicle which is what this site is all about after all. This is just a suggestion btw.

Anyone else's "Latest Electric On-Road Posts" section always empty?
All of the "Latest Posts" sections say none found for me.
Maybe its the end user!

I uploaded a crop from a screen shot of what I see. I also noticed the ads on the top right are not loading on the home page, and it is well over due for a news update. Last one was 3/5/06.
