Hi everyone, Just a quick note to let all registered users and paying subscribers know about the following changes we implemented today (January 1, 2009) on the site: What new features are available? 1.) Added drag & drop sorting of files within media albums 2.) Added drag & drop sorting of media album sections 3.) Added ability to move media files from one album section to another album section within the same registry entry What's Changed 1.) Redesigned site for easier navigation 2.) Removed registry-specific navigation, now all registry types can simply be found under the "registry" navigation link 3.) Improved club navigation to draw more attention to club pages hosted on SuperMotors 4.) Redesigned registry homepage to show top monthly rides and top all-time rides in addition to newest and updated rides 5.) Fixed bugs with email notifications not containing correct unsubscribe link 6.) Added new 300x250 advertising formats on a few pages of the site to help us generate additional revenue to keep the site running each month 7.) Registry URLs are now in the format of http://www.supermotors.net/registry/10 (previously they were http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/10). All old URLs/Links will automatically forward to the new format -- you do not need to update your links . Feedback is encouraged We've done our best to ensure all old links work and forward to the new locations. If you come across an error with the new site or a broken link, please post a response here or contact us via the support page at http://www.supermotors.net/support/index.php. Thanks,

I'd be happy to discuss the costs of running the site off-line to give you perspective on why we need to run ads. ... In February, things may change if we're able to hide ads for paying subscribers.

I might take you up on that when we both have some time, but I'm not sure I'll be able to appreciate all the considerations since I've never attempted to create or operate a website.

That's not what I was asking. The question was: Do you base decisions like that (what to spend your money on; whom to trust your personal information to) on gimmicky annoying advertising that you happen to see on an UNrelated website (i.e., the decision on tax preparation being based on a border ad on an image-hosting website)? Do you expect anyone else (with enough common sense to earn enough money to need tax software) would?

BTW
There's a bug on the EDIT DETAILS page for albums. When I go to my album list (http://www.supermotors.net/mygarage/index.php) and click the details link, the page loads with the MAKE field showing "Ford", but it's not actually selected, so the MODEL field shows "Select...". But when I pull the MODEL menu down, the only thing in it is "Select...", so I can't. I have to go back up to MAKE & toggle it, which automatically brings back the correct MODEL for that registry. But if I ignore it & try to click save, it throws an error saying there is no MODEL and I have to choose a MAKE first.

Walk softly & carry a BIG SIX.

Looking into this in various browsers. We haven't modified this page in a while so it may be a browser-specific bug that we have to identify.
