Coomer is having trouble getting onto the site because of the nameserver not updating yet, this is what he would like to let everyong know about the new updates he has spent months workin on! enjoy!!

Fully Recoded Backend
The entire backend, including the database connectivity, login system, forum integration, and more, has been completely recoded from scratch, to alleviate many of the problems with the old backend.

More Robust Photo Uploads
Photo uploads should now be faster due to using native PHP functions for dealing with most of the photo processing. Also, if a photo is uploaded that is not a valid photo, it will not upset the other photo uploads, and the site will let you know which photos didn't work. Also, resized photos should generally be much better quality than they previously were.

Previous and Next Photo Links
Now when you view a photo for a how-to article, part, or a member's uploaded photo, you'll be able to easily go to the previous or next photos with one click.

Past Featured Rides Page
There is now a page which displays all of the past and the current featured ride. This page is linked to on the intro page, and is available here.

Optimized Members' Rides Listing
The Members' Rides section has been heavily optimized, so that the list of members will now load much quicker than it used to. Average query time has been reduced from around eight seconds to around one-fifth of a second.

Now that I can finally access the site again, I'm curious as to whether or not you guys like it more or less, and what can be done to make the site better. Everything should be working correctly now, so if anything isn't, please let me know. >>

Thanks, and enjoy!

new look is great ... >>

I'm happy >>

Coomer, you're awesome, the site looks incredible now

Beautiful color scheming. One thing. The 04 area. It's really bland, and a really big open space. But man, this rocks!

Love it. Who's car is the yellow one? (I'm so jealous.. he's got the supra sideskirts I want >> )

" Splendifilicious "

Nice job man I love it.

The new look is so cool for the site, thx u guys.

Can't make it random from all the images.. you'd have to download each selected image.. it'd kill even the fastest connections, not to mention 6gc's bandwidth. Unless, there's some code that I don't know about that allows a random image from a folder to be displayed in the selected area.. that'd be a wicked cool code..

ads coomer?? wow... i think that was the last thing anyone wanted to take up that space >>

What a bunch of crap! This design sucks! I hate it! Did I remind you that I lie a lot?

LOL, awesome job Cooooooomer, keep it up!!!

Love the home page Coomer nice to see you finaly put it up ..

Oh, and about the random images in the title area...that wouldn't work so well, because everyone tends to upload non-Celica photos and things like their signature in their profile. It could be done without loading every single image on the site though Hym3n, because all the random image processing and stuff like that is done server-side, before the html is ever sent to the user's browser. >>

Nice job Coom, as usual >>

Yeah It looks quite good coomer. About the big empty space. I like the idea of most "popular" thread, or most recent post, from each of the main forums. After all, 95% of the times you visit the mainpage you head straight to the forums..

Looks great man.

Much props Coomer.

I LOVE IT.

I dont know about everyone else, but I like to use HTML tags. I use them on a daily basis.


Why not enable that here?

Coomer the site looks greatttt , good job thanks!

I love everything except that the ads and random images are at the top...to me it seems kinda cluttered. Maybe you could put that off to the side?

Other than that everything looks great!

Far out... I haven't really browsed this site much since christmas (no net access >> ) and I come back and it's all changed (!)

But wow... Amazing guys, excellent job!

Thanks Coomer, keep up the great work.

You are a true entrepreneur, I hope you cash in in your tallent some day.
