Default Updates..

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is John and I will be taking care of some of the technical and graphical issues here on the site moving forward.

We are not done with the changes and still have many new features to add. One thing I noticed was it appears the previous site did not allow attachments and we do allow those, so hopefully that will be an extra help in documenting some howto's, etc. on the forum.

In addition, we'll have a photo gallery set up for free hosting and some other additions to make this site more enjoyable.

I hope to have some of these features going in the next couple of hours. No change is set in stone at this point and we are open to discussing the aspects so if you have any suggestions please let me know.

Where am I? I'm sorry but it's not VWF without the V spot and design. I don't mind the new layout per say but the graphics are horrendous. Biased to new cars much? 2 MKVs, 2 T-regs and a MKIV Jetta that was built like 8 years ago. No love for other models or generations? I don't think I've ever seen a post about a T-Reg except for the guy who was doing all the services on it. I hope growing pains isn't an excuse for that.

I must say though, if it stays like this, I might find myself sticking to Vortex and Renegade

I'M NOT A MODERATOR ANYMORE? SWEET... I WAS ONE OF THE ONLY ONES WHO POST ANYMORE!!!

I'm waiting on a high quality copy of the logo so we can update it. I've seen the font before but I don't know the name.

Much better. Only other thing I would suggest is start a thread asking for member's rides pictures. A nice collaboration up top would be very nice.
