Site News and Feedback

why is my post count stuck at 17? :CG_all:

I posted this on another thread and was told by Northie to post it here. Most of the graphics on the site don't appear, instead I get the dreaded red 'x.' It happens to most of the pictures and all of the icons, even the smilies. Does anyone else have this problem?

Lada's have come a long way: Lada 1118: Lada 1119:

Trying to get a gauge on how many people are planning to come to teh NAIAS and if a C&G meet could be put together for either the days leading up to the official show, during the show or the last few days of the show. I'll be there quite a few times as usual sporting my C&G T. I'd like to get a formal meet together if we could.

Roseville, MI - When we re-launched the new C&G we knew we were looking to change a few things. The first being the new forums of course and the layout of the homepage of the web-site. We also wish to make a tremendous effort towards courting new affiliates and attracting sponsorship to C&G, something that has been missing since it's inception. While we will stay away from pop-ups we cannot deny the fact that we are actively searching for advertisers to advertise their product on C&G to reach a worldwide audience. One quick glance at our most recent statistics shows that people from countries such as China, Japan, Australia, Argentina, and Korea visited th…

Well, we're back and kickin' butt, so we decided to make a few revisions while we could. Allow me the break the changes down for you. The Other Guys has now been broken down into four distinct sections by geography or company - Ford, DCX, Europe, and Asia. We decided the placement of each individual make should be based on what's commonly accepted as 'country of origin' (Japan for Nissan though its French-owned) and ease of grouping (a new platform shared by multiple Ford divisions placed in Ford rather than Ford, European, and Asian). C&G takes pride in our easy navigability and we hope this will be easy and hassle-free for everyone. 2006 …

I notice you've sub-divided the "Other Guys" forum. I liked it better the other way since you could see all the news in one bite, without having to enter each subforum. Not only that, but the purpose of the subdivision really makes no sense. One can ascertain the company the post deals with by the thread title. I haven't been here long (and since in the migration, my account was eliminated, I appear to be even newer) but thought you might like a little feedback on the change. Tony

Why dont you guys install the garage mod from invisionize, it would fit C & G perfectly.

If ya'll need help. it appears that hte image is actually laid over a lot of other bars.

I'm sure you've all noticed the nice new thing at the top of the forums. Looks good, but I dislike it for two reasons. First is that it is wide, causing potential unwanted sideways scrolling. Secondly, it has no "Log Out" link that I can find, meaning I cannot change screen names and pretend to be everybody's favorite crazy Floridian.

I think 'blu should get his "Advanced Member Member Member Member Member" title back, at leats until you can strip it from him in order to force him to buy the premium package.

I remember being able to quote a post, and my qoute would include any quotes that post had. Why does the new board not do that? It will only quote the post without any quotes that it contained.

Is this IPB illegal? It doesnt say liscensed to cheersandgears. Just wondring. I am not a representative of "IPB", Im just wondering to make sure if you can take away the liscense to: footer. Or is this a liscensed version at all...Thanks!

Had to re-register grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I was looking at the board stats today, and today was by far the busiest day to date on the new board. We have had over 1150 posts so far today, which nearly doubles the next best number of 599 yesterday. Keep up the happy posting! :CG_all:

Can we please get some of our old mods back? I'm missing having "regular" mods, and I'm sure they're missing their positions...

Don't know exactly how to phrase this civilly, but keeping topics and sub-topics off limits for non-members is only gonna screw C&G up the rear. I've done research. Get with the program or lose it.

The tab on the top right of forum headings. It lets you either expand or collapse those you do not wish to view. Who cares about the Foreign Exchange? Not I! Same for the Powertrain tech stuff. Pffffft I love it.

How the shit do you use that tab?!

"It feels soooooooo good to be back!!!!" Roseville, MI - While Eminem may be in rehab for a drug addition problem, I'm here to say I've gotten my fix of my drug of choice, C&G is back! While there have been rumors that we were closed for good, that Walt had forgotten to pay the hosting bill, and even the tried and feasibly often rumor that the General themselves shut us down. Nope. None are correct. We've decided to move to a more, secure server and in the process it's obvious some changes have had to have been made. Most notable is while it is unfortunate, it was necessary. C&G will have to (take a deep breathe …

I'm new to this posting game. I have been a long time reader, and a member at the old site, but the procedures to chime in were(are) just too confusing to us "old-timers". My current frustration is in the process required to post a picture! And until I started participating in this new forum, I did not know, and still don't know what an "avatar" is! I figured out that it is the little pic by your name on each message. It took my pic straight from "My Documents", and even adjusted the size. Why can't the same program, or one like it be used to add signature or other pics to a thread?(Now there's another "new&qu…

to post images on this site is not too hard, but if you were never told, you would never know Image hosting on imageshack first, open the imageshack site herehttp://www.imageshack.us/ it says browse, click there and find the file of the picture you would like to post then click host it and a list of URLs will appear, the bottom one is the direct link URL to the image, copy the direct link to the image and save it in a document on your computer so that you will not have to return posting an image from image shack onto c&g open the c&g website and create the reply or new topic window that you wish, at the top of the window for the actual t…

Just now my time settings for the board got changed. I refreshed the page and suddenly the time is 4 hours behind. I had it on Eastern Standard Time and it was still set to that when it happened. I have to have it on Cape Verdean time to get the accurate time. :huh:

Is is possible to get our original join dates back? As in if the member remembers it? ...Or if any info was salvaged? Not that it really matters, though... but I just like having joined on Dec 28, 03. Aug 19, 05 just isn't as nice. And it puts me equal to or lower than newer members. As if they have superiority. Ehh... I'm probably just being selfish...

Hey Josh...um...about your DNS server updates you've been mentioning... Theoretically even as CheersAndGears.com becomes active again and that site still works, this will remain an active backdoor since it is a direct link to the server. It's simply knowing the name of the actual server under DNS, might be the best way to put it. So, it won't just "stop working" unless your host is a little odder than the ones I've worked with... You may just have to poke and prod people to move them over. The real problem comes in 6 months when they decide this server is overwhelmed and decide to move you to another and those who didn't update their book…

Guys, I don't know if it's just me, but the redirect that you have in place on the old c&g server doesn't work for Firefox. In Firefox, it asks if you'd like to download the octet stream, instead of the auto-redirect. It seems to works fine in IE though.
