Hello, some of you may know me, some of you may not. I am Eric. I went by the same username on the other forums, and when SpokaneSpeed.com was sniped by a domain registrar, we were all forced to go over to SSR or PhaseChangeRacing. I did not like either forum, and I know a lot of others felt the same way. Too much clutter. Well in the end, I decided just to register SpokaneSpeed.net and start from scratch. I created this site with the hopes of it being more useful than the others in the area. I will be in contact with Mike (Old SpokaneSpeed owner) to see about getting the database files in order to just make the site like the old SpokaneSpeed we all came to get used to was - except without the downtime or the modification of stupid stuff. Well enough of this. Have fun, introduce yourself, and lets talk cars!

Fixed timezone issue.
Made registrations open - no email verification needed - I may turn this back on later.

Site looks great and easy to use, well done! Although why do we have to sign in everytime, doesn`t automatically do it? No biggy I suppose, just curious. lol

You have to sign in every time? Even now? If so, let me know and I will look into it - auto signin works for me ;)

Oh. and thanks for the support guys. I am trying to keep this forum as easy and clean looking as possible. I hate cluttered websites.

Excellent :)

On a side note,

* Added Forum Counter so the forum tells you how many people are in a certian area.

* Added Mouseover thread preview. Put your mouse over a thread title and it will pop up and give you a preview. Does not work with FireFox or Opera at this time.

* Added Advanced stats.

* Added permissions box at the bottom of each post so you can know what you can and cannot do in the post.

I also like the way this looks as well :) well maybe unless it was red and black.


I do think though you should change the "You can only post every XX seconds" from something like 60 seconds as it is now, to 10 seconds.

* Added Mopar section to Domestics Forum

* Removed limit of time between posts.

gixslayer, soon I should be able to have it so everyone can choose how they want it to look with like 10 different themes. This is not a top priority of mine though.

Again, thanks for the support guys - I knew this was needed, just didn't think it would get this much support this fast.

Don't know why this thread was closed by Scott, but whatever.

* Added Infinity Motorsports to the Shops & Vendors forum.

* Added The Ladies Sub-Forum inside the General forum

Well, the site is becoming more useful and popular now. Does anyone else have any suggestions as to other features or anything that should be implemented? If so, please post them in the Site Suggestions forum.

We will be looking for ways to raise some funds to cover the bandwidth charges that will happen soon - see the Site Suggestions forum for more information.

Forum looks great, and its really easy to navigate. Already getting great info on the area before I move, in November. To think I was worried that there isn't a lot of racing up there. I've been proven wrong.
