Neither do I, but I think it's a combination of Scandinavian black metal growl and someone speaking Norwegian to a big porcelain phone after a hard night out...

Anyway, I guess you got the point.

It's not perfect, but what is? You've got talent.

Pronounced like this and looks like this.

Would you like to use this for the Nav Bar?

Do like.

EDIT:
Do like even more.
Would be a refreshing change of pace.

Having a single image floating in the middle of the screen is so tacky imo.

Have a look at http://forums.performancecar.co.nz/ how they integrate the ad with header which makes the ad take less space and give a nice full width header. just need some logo to put on the left of the ads.

The problem here is we have ad layer, header layer then the forums.... what a waste of vertical screen estate.

Ok i got a question, who actually uses any of the links in the nav bar? Cause i just realized that i never do. I just use the forum links below is.

I go directly to the forum index as well. Im sure 99% of us do.

Why waste time clicking through from the homepage to the index?
It's not like the homepage has been updated since like 2007.

I have blocked that picture with Adblock...

I use the search link. It's different than the one below it; the search link in navbar.gif is linked to a Google search of SS, the other search link is the forum software's built-in search.

I don't use the other links, but I have to believe that noobs do.

I go directly to the "View your posts" link, which I have bookmarked. It's the closest thing to a vBulletin-style thread subscription page.

I navigate directly to 'View New Posts' when I arrive here, but also agree that the links should remain for those that haven't fully assimilated yet

I've been meaning to update the nav bar design based on you all's suggestions. When I'm done with it, I will put the new design right...

...here:


OK it's done. I removed the text for the links because I think there is a better way to handle that than to put it on that image. Also, I reduced the blurriness of the shift knob (it still needed a little). And I changed the blue to match the forum a little more closely.

if anyone can find me a high quality video of either pedals (doubleclutch heel toe w/e) or quick shifting (view of gearstick) i can make an animated version.





thought i'd throw one in there if anyone's serious about changing it.

Very nice, I like the Italian supercar shifter pic. But it still has the problem plaguing the current bar, which is the kinda erratic placement of links. That's why I left the links text off of my latest revision.
