New Default Theme .. Please Change Over

There is a new default theme here at Fastlane; to see it, you have to manually change to it if you still see the old one.

To change, there is a select box at the very bottom of the page .... change the theme from "Fastlane Fixed" to "Fastlane New".

You can keep the old format however that theme is not current with the new version which means some things will not work. (Like the News field says "commented" always)

Also, I will NOT debug problems at the old theme. If something doesn't work, please move to the new theme.

At some point, the old theme version (FastlaneFixed) will be removed entirely so it is recommended that you move to the new theme (FastlaneTheme) or the default vBulletin theme (Default).

Also, I am requiring everyone to complete an "expertise" with default being "student" ... this is so we can identify people and their strengths. There is no net worth requirement for you to claim an expertise ... please feel free to do so.

Some buttons have moved to the left and will take some getting used to since we're all accustomed to the same format for the past 2 years.

Thanks
MJ

PS: Also, on the TOP STATS panel (Top of Page) you can adjust those to show "Most Viewed" or "Hottest". Just FYI

Apparently there is an issue with the QUICK REPLY field hanging ... aware of the problem and working on it.

I can't tell up from down. This will take some time.
The letters in quick reply are really small.

Is this a lot better for ads or are you hating on color green?

On the main page where it shows top 10 stats:

Where you see views|replies column.... in google chrome the heading is a little mis-aligned to the rest of the column. Just throwing that out there, IDK if it's the same for IE or FF.


BTW I love the new look. VERY SLICK!

Looks great.

I just tried to do a "Quote This" and nothing seemed to happen, not sure what was supposed to happen if anything, but what I was hoping was that it would just quote the text that I had highlighted?

Once I get use to the change, I'll like it. It looks pretty slick.

Quote This is the MULTI-QUOTE function ... it glows RED when pressed ... then you can quote it via REPLY.

MJ,

Everything looks great. I came to the page today half awake, expecting everything to be normal and then...BAM! WHOA! Beautiful new page. I'm sure I will love it when I get used to it.

Goodbye old school Fastlane...we salute you for your service!

There are some minor tweaks still left to do ... but thanks all for the kind comments. I know change isn't all that easy ...

No kidding. Man. You have taught me one thing today, MJ. I am a creature of habit.

Looks great - - - if I can get over the screaming in my own head that says.... "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY FAMILIAR FASTLANE SITE???"

Why are we humans like this?

(Really, It does look very nice.... if I pretend it hasn't "changed.")
