BTW, here's what it looks like on my screen right now. I've never seen problems like this on Rennlist. No pics showing up today. Some avatars are missing (blue box with question mark in it), PM down for several hours. Damn! Makes you really appreciate the hard work that John and Jenn put into RL when they owned the site.
No, I am not going to change my user ID!!!!! Why should I????... you didn't when you moved to NC.

BTW, nice car you recently got. I don't know much about them but I'll bet it is awesome on the track. DO you miss teh GT3 much?

I actually started a thread and asked for opinions on changing LVDell to NCDell but the choice was made clear by my constituents to keep LVDell.

Maybe start a poll? Ah hell, I'll get it going.

Thanks, I have my first test with it this weekend. Full report to follow.

The consensus over on the 997 forum is that we don't care for it. Some are even talking about putting the 2wd deck lids on their 4s. It will clearly date the 997 Carrera 4 cars from 2006 through 2008.

It's all purely cosmetic, and the rear sag in the tail lights just doesn't work for me. Sadly, it's a sign of Zuffenhausen learning a few things from Detroit--like how to date a car quickly from year to year. One would think getting the DI engine would be good enough!

I'm not a fan of the lights or the reflector or of Tim changing his handle (Is that even possible anymore?), but I do have a mac and I could see the image fine (in Safari)

+1. Droopy tail lights and too thin reflector = fail!

On a mac too. No images with firefox, but all okay with safari. IB is f#%king up this site.

since I wrote this now it seems it's totally random what I can and can't see whether safari or firefox (and I even tried it in internet explorer on VMware)

Sometimes it's an avatar, sometimes it's attachments, sometimes instead of pics I get a list of attachments, which then sometimes work an sometimes just pop up a blank window. And I am on HIGH speed internet 50+MB/S

Where do we paying rennlist members send our constructive criticism now? (a similar going to the dogs period occurred when a buddy of mine sold his forum to IB last year)
