I agree, the text needs more contrast.  On my computer it is light gray background with a little darker text but not dark enough to be easy to read.

Is there a way that I can change the colors for my viewing pleasure?

OH boy here come the complaints...  ;)


Sounds like you have internet explorer 6 ... I am working on that problem right now. THe background is actually transparent and lets the image of the Jeep show through. Didn't have time to make it happy in all browers before the meeting tonight. Anyway... check back in a bit.. and you guys should consider upgrading your brower... Internet Explorer 7 has been out for well over a year.

YOu guys please post up what browser and version you are using... also whether you are on a MAC and PC.

As it stands right now... Firefox, IE7 are both looking okay. I'm still checking on some stuff with IE6 on PC.
As for the MACs I havent really done alot whole lot of checking with that yet, but it is on the slate.



ALRIGHT I think I gotcha fixed up IE6 users.  If not let me know.

well there are still some issues with IE6... I won't have anytime to spend on that till tomorrow night and this weekend. SO bare with me... this is all part of it. I need all of you to let me know what issues there are. It's a community effort getting a website to evolve. Thanks for the inputs.

I'm using Firefox on a PC and everything looks good now.  I know it takes a while and didn't mean to complain so quickly, I just wanted to let you know how it looked on my end.  I like the transparency and look forward to all the new stuff. :41:

no offense taken... I rely on everyones input, big or small. I can build them, but the visitors and users of the site are what make it successful.

I'd like to apologize to the user who have Internet Explorer 6 ... There is a something still not working right and has been crashing some peoples browsers... I'll get it lined out this weekend and move on the to good stuff.

Thanks for everyones patience.

I tend to agree, but I've had better luck with the new site in IE.  It seems "faster" and scrolling is smoother, for me anyway.

The scrolling in Firefox should be smooth now.   :23:
