Could you tame down the size of the picture on the front page (the one of the GTO-R)?
Despite the fact that the article and picture are devoted to a LHD US$375,000 car, which will probably never be seen in Australia (even the title says "For U.S. customer purchase") and forgetting the fact that a post about what people wear to night clubs ( Where did it all go wrong? (http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=46899) ) which was posted 2 days later has attracted 3 times as many views without needing to have a massive picture on the front page, the simple fact is some of us are still running 1024 x 768 resolution (highest available on a 15" TFT) and cant see the full version of the homepage.
And dont let me start on those poor suckers using Pocket PC's to view the site :)
Also I have some other suggestions for the front page. Instead of having survey results from a Poll which closed 7 1/2 months ago, and some articles about vfacts and news articles from many many months ago ... how about some step by step guides for n00bs. Would take someone to sit down and go through various threads (diff gears, edits, tyres, superchargers, turbos, etc) and trim the fat, so that its just pure information, and not personal opinion and attacks.
Or maybe just display the top ten hottest topics, sure if they are really that hot, you'll see them on the right ... I just think that people arent coming to LS1.com.au to read the news. Most things of interest are put into threads anyway.
Also maybe a simple gallery of members cars. A section where you get to upload one picture only of your car, so people can admire, without having to sort through some thread with 5 megapixel photos, which become invalid 2 laters later due to bandwidth exceeding.
Just some things running through my head as I scroll side to side.
oh, and if I didnt say it before ... can we shrink the size of that GTO-R ?
Thanks :D
