Light66 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I am one who actually likes the new format. On my laptop using FireFox and no-squint add-on, text is very easy to read, easier than before. The Christmas touches are great for the season. Generally, the format is the same as before and I know where to go. I don't feel I have to re-invent the wheel with this new format. My hats off to the IT guys on this one.

Son of GT Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 It's obvious that the Christmas and hanukkah skins, graphics, and icons are temporary and will only be up for a few more weeks. While it may not appeal to everyone, it will all be gone soon enough. Look at it this way... TS verison 3.0 is new and comes with a lot of bells and whistles, and I'm sure that everyone here at one point or another has purchased something brand new to what they had before and played with all of the neat options until they weren't so neat anymore and then settled back to a more "normal" setup. Just try going with the flow for the time being and I'm sure that the site will look more "normal" after the holiday's are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is going to ban you for expressing your opinions in a proper manner, which you did Chuck. Yesterday's forum about the site changes was corrupted which caused the site technical problems and that is why that forum was taken down. As far as any technical issues you are having with typing, viewing, etc, Robert posted a forum about some issues with IE and Vista and TS 3.0. Look for that forum and post your technicial issues there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torch40 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Kind of snazzy, but to much going on. Flashing and twinkling gets old real fast on any website. I always liked the old site so I'll give it some time. I know how much work it takes to get something like this running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Leicht Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 I like it. It is temporary but it is very Christmasy. Our whole nation just needs to cool their jets and sit back and relax and enjoy some simpler pleaasures of the season for a bit. Back in a kinder time, everyone decorated for the Christmas season Good job Sharon, Robert et al! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 We are working on another skin that you will be able to toggle back and back and forth if this one is to much for some, it will be the standard Team Shelby Skin. This one is a temporary but the other skin will take us about a couple of week to get up so do not worry. If you are having teck problems please let us know we have tried our best to test this site for a few months. We have tried to stop as many problems as possible. But if you are still having problems please e-mail Robert and robertl@shelbyautos.com so that he can take a look to see what is going on. So hold on the new skin is coming in about a couple of week for those that do not care for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tob Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 As soon as I logged on and saw the red, white, and green theme,I thought...somewhere, there was a woman involved with this that pushed for it. This is a car site, not a candy cane. The holidays are nice, but seriously, this does make it a bit difficult to navigate without getting a headache. A small, temporary banner up top would get the point across. Are we in kindergarten? I see where you're coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NordicShelby Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I just about had a heart attack when I logged in and saw the new site. I do not like change in general but I will enjoy this until Christmas but on the 26th PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD TEMPLATE...... As far as the new features I think I am going to like it. A learning curve always sucks but once you get over the hump then its all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just try going with the flow for the time being and I'm sure that the site will look more "normal" after the holiday's are over. Enis, I concur with your sentiments as well. My only other comment would be for everyone to lighten up on the roll-out of Team Shelby V3.0. To deploy a new version of a website is a huge undertaking in and of itself. To the take that extra step of integrating a holiday theme is massive. The readability issue is a short term thing. Sharon, Robert and many others behind the scenes did this for us--their gift to Team Shelby memebers... And, I think that each and everyone of us should say thank you. Everything else will work itself out in due course. Let's count our blessings, instead of always looking for faults. Best of Regards; Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah, Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Looks terrible and functions slowly. The original design was perfect, the best forum layout I had ever used. This was unnecessary and an all around bad idea. The xmas skin especially is cheesy and slow to load, not to mention very hard on the eyes. Fail.
