    Morning All,
    Well before anyone pipes up and says things have certainly I thought I would get in first.

    You will note now the sponsor category sits right at the top instead of being tucked away down the bottom.

    The reasoning behind this is fairly simple, without the site sponsors Just Commodores would simply exist so it's time they got more exposure and what better way to make people scroll past them

    Cheers
    Darren

    A bit like putting all the confectionary at the checkouts, or the necessities at the back of the shop, good retailing Darren.

    seems a bit odd having the main section all the way at the bottom

    1991 Supercharged VN Berlina

    I agree. Maybe have the main section after the sponsor section?

    This is gonna take some getting used to. I was backwards enough as it is!!!

    but yeah, main section would be better under sponsors.

    Hey Mate

    i agree have the main section after the sponsors section, or even after the Holden Commodore Related section, so then the main section, is not right to the bottom, of the page...

    I think that the sections should be kept in the order as they were exept the sponsors can be at the top. Now my browsing habits are all jumbled up!

    seeing as the address keeps changing, just click on the main section so it opens just that.

    ctrl+D if you use firefox

    but it doesn't help the site.


    in a way, i think having the car related stuff at the top is better. it is a car site afterall. if you want friends, use myspace.

    awesome. i learnt today that you can close individual sections. i used to leave them all open and check out each one from time to time, now the ones i dont use are staying closed. i come here to learn about cars, not to look for stuff to buy. i understand why youre doing it though

    Guys,

    For the record, the MAIN section is under the sponsors, since when was the pub/jokes etc the main section?

    I think all the off topic stuff should stay at the bottom.

    I will be talking to Darren tomorrow to request if i can modify a few things, but apart fromt hat it wont really change

    the pub has the second largest amounts of posts. I vote that ONLY the sponsor section should have been moved.

    maybe we should have a poll - with propper options, not like the thread that was just closed in the pub.

    I like the idea of having the general section at the top (below sponsors) because you can have a look at whats going on before you get stuck into the serious stuff.

    When I did the change yesterday morning I didn't think too much about the general section but having said that and reading replied it seems to be in favour so consider it done.

    With regards to the general section I don't quite follow? Unless the change I just made altered something although I wouldn't have thought so.

    Sponsor banners will be making a return shortly, I noticed this morning my account had been suspended due to load levels on the other server hence why it seemed to be hanging just after the banner.

    Love it the way it is now, with the main stuff second to the sponsors Good work guys.

    (and MUCH better than having "main" all the way down the bottom. That was just wierd ^^)

    It much much better now, I don't think the layout should be changed again. I like the way it is.
