Features of Autopia v2.0

*Update: We are also upgraded the photo gallery to the latest version which has many more features and moving to a new and better classifieds.
 
Yeppers, we could not integrate them while the site was not live. Will be working on that Monday morning with a bunch of other stuff..
 
They changed it because David had hacked it so much you couldn't start topics with integral words that are part of normal discussion revolving around CARS. Also vbulletin 4 can use tapatalk for

mobile browsing and much more. This will be a good change with time.
 
I had a reply typed out but I somehow lost it. Anyway DavidB did so much hacking that you couldn't start threads with words common to detailing such as "car". A fresh code base and new features such as tapatalk make this a good move. Give it time.



Oh yeah and resizing text breaks the formatting because the browser is overriding the programmed formatting for the pages.

LOL.



I'm not blind as bat, but thanks for the demeaning response.



If Autopia 1.0 was crafted over 9 years of "tweaks" as you say, and people were happy with it (I sure was, and I don't know why anybody would not have been happy with it), then why bother going to a completely different format?



Does the term "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" have any meaning to you?



And thanks for confirming that if you increase the font size, it does, in fact, screw up the formatting.



Bring back the old format.



Please.

Yes, I agree.



I am finding it to be annoying to try and navigate the site now. Things are all messed up. The font size isn't right on my Mac, and when I increase it, I get overlapping text.



Sorry, but the truth of the matter is that if it stays like this, I will be posting here much less. There are many other detailing forums that have a better layout that use VBulletin.

Again, with you.



And I don't really post a lot to begin with unless I feel I can help or to really give some nice comments if something stands out...

Wow - change can be hard to handle but its easy to see you guys put a lot into this. Very sleek and clean layout and I have no real issues so far. We'll all have to get adjusted, but the site certainly has a nicer more modern and less industrial look

The "industrial" look is what made the forum visually focus on the topic at hand, not the layout. But really its clear autopia's new owners are trying to compete with the giant that is Autogeek so considering everything like I said is about business, its not really a surprise
