truth. "other than stock carb" section would actually be better than "weber specific". I forget about some people running mikuni's, or even holley's, or even some weird stock carb of something else. ( not that the last one has been done..but I'm sure SOMEBODY is /was gonna try it)

Works for me!

 

Yeah, I think a general "aftermarket carb" section would be good rather than just a "Weber" section. I know there's a couple other guys besides me with Mikunis, Holleys, or other carbs.

 

attached is a quickie photoshop of what id like to see on the main forum tree. prolly the worst chop ive done in years, but it gets the point across.

if i had my druthers, id also change the order on the bottom for relevance. instead of:

general discussion
The Marketplace
Tech Knowledgebase
Tacoma discussion


id re-arrange it like so

Tech knowledgebase
The marketplace
General discussion
Tacoma discussion


this would move the more usefull threads up, and make people scroll through them (as a reminder that they are there) to get to the selling stuff.


otherwise dont F with it. sure having a weber, stock carb, stock tires, stock motor, modded tires, modded motor, other carbs, EFI, RWD, 4WD, bags, juice, ect ect. sounds cool in theroy, but the more different catagorys there are the worse it will get. we dont need new places for this info, that is what sticky's are for.

what works best across the net (go visit pirate4x4 and see how many different catagorys there are for yota 4x4's) is simple. simple to find what your after, post where you want to (and should) and promotes more people looking at all threads, which leads them to learn stuff so the whole community improves.



as far as engines goes...

my .02


there are only 3 main motors on this site. 3vz, 2Xr, and pre-2Xr(18r and older). i bet 90% of the users on this site have a 2xr, and yes despite what that lil sticker says, there is hardly any difference between a 1975 20r and a 1995 22r, or RE. its the same inside, ya EFI is built a lil different, but essentially its the same crap. any differences could be covered by a sticky if needed.

 

"If you build it, they will come"



*The only complaint I have is newbies posting the same f****ing question in different catagories... < Sorry, that just erks me when people post questions of the same thing in different sections... No patience....

good?

 

That layout by ShoNuff is pretty good; nice and simple.

 

simple is good. I agree, let's take a nod from the trucks we love so much, and keep it simple.

 

ShowNuff is right about this.... (another thing to change would be the settings for the "recent threads" window on the home page. is it possible to set it so its "today's post's" instead of "new post's" ?


for some reason with both firefox and IE the session will reset after a few threads read, and all post's will be marked read. the only sure fire way i've found to stay on top is clicking the today's post's link, which if you dont know is hiding in the quick links drop down, it doesnt exsist. and tons of threads get buried quick here.)

I would have to agree with that^^^

 

"new posts" has always worked fine for me. I never pay attention to weather or not it's marked as "read", the list stays the same....doesn't it? Damnit now I'm paranoid, I'mma have to try it.....

 

why?


why give 2 groups of maybe 2% of the users there own category, that the rest of the group wont visit?

if there ends up really being enough info on the other motors,a sticky would be able to cover it for now. if the sticky blows up, then give it, its own forum per user demand.

i think you missed the point.


your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to make the forums more user friendly and promote more users reading more content.

ps: thx for the love

 

i would like to see a section dedicated to different areas of the country that our users are in to help put together meets and cruises, it would help us get involved with eachother and help build up our community

 

uhhhhh, the chat still doesn't work bud...

 

good idea but we dont have enough people close enough to do this, at least so I think... Ive only met 2 members on the forum 1 from a nother state and the other no longer visits the site... I only know of a few members in florida period, florida is big and I dont think we could manage a meet with so few members.

 

hey Jeff, can we all pm you what we think should be stickied ? or make a thread with links of things to be stickied ??? OH OH AND give us the power to delete our own threads ! so we can get rid of things we messed up, delete f/s and wanted threads when were done with them to keep it less cluttered !

 

wait.



thats what the mods are for


lets let the man behind the curtain decide how he wants to change OZ. then we'll pester the lil guy at the gate.
