So, how's the new website?

[Graeme M]

I've been away on holidays and limited to doing basic membership approvals etc via a 56k dialup on a very slow computer...

But there seems to be plenty of action on the new http://ausvmx.ning.com website. What's everyone think? What's the best feature? The worst?

My observations - plenty of interesting pics, a few groups attracting comments, the chat isn't particularly successful. I like the new easy way to add events to the calendar.

Remember, you can add your own events to the calendar, and they don't have to be actual race events. Add a ride day or even an organised get together if it is something you want to advertise to the OzVMX community.

Also, don't foget the Blogs and Groups. A Blog is sort of like a diary, or a personal storytelling page. Anyone can post a blog entry - share the progress with your resto, or talk about your last race, or just make an observation about the scene and get the comments going.

Groups are like a part of the website partitioned off for your use. You can add comments to the comment wall, post discussions in the group forum, or post up pics. Again, anyone can start a group. And once you are a member of a group, you can actively participate.

I like the "vintage" site better  . I'm not that much of a computer geck but it's all good.

Old site seems to be still in flavour .....flow on of threads. Old habits die hard

  I haven't used the new site much - I'm still on dial-up and the site takes ages to load. I am,however,finally entering the 20th century this week with ADSL being connected so should be able to avail myself of the new sites features. So many options........  OOOoooooohh........

  This forum format is easy to manage though. Never thought I'd be echoing my parents complaints about incompatability between the pace of technological development and the diminishing abilities of the aging human brain!

Fantastic Graeme!!!

Lots to look at (some great shots being added all the time), give it time mate and all will be good.

As most are from the early era (like their bikes) they just don't like change (try getting them to like a disc brake???)

Keep it coming mate you have my vote of approval!

I don't visit the new site as I find it a little scattered and a bit of an overload. Not all will agree of course but I can waste plenty of time on this forum alone without adding more

[Rossvickicampbell]

must admit I have poked my nose in but prefer this forum - shows you how much I actually use eh!

All a bit hard for the Hoi Poli. This one anyway. But that's my problem.

I like this one better but maybe because its the same as my own forum there just so easy to use and find ya way around on them,,,simple is good 

Cheers Mick.
