914World.com _ 914World Garage _ who here thinks THE BACKROUND SHOULD CHANGE
Posted by: orange914 Dec 19 2005, 12:21 PM
do you guys and gals want a different backround on the 914 club? maybe something envolving the holiday (Christmas) that is coming up 
i personally dont know how to do it but i would think that if theres enough ideas about it, they'll probably change it. or if you guys know who could, we can probably ask.
just post your ideas

I find Anacona Blue quite festive...

My feeling is that, it is changed so offten that, if you don't like the next one, your not going to like for a long time.

Yeah Kenny... that tone surely helps to get stuff done
Basically, the background don't change untill I feel it needs changing (and have time to dig into it)
Whining about it will only make things worse...
Oh... and there is always the "magic word"

I'm not as sick of the green as others; I just want to point out that since this non-club is volunteer supported then the volunteer that does that sort of thing is probably as busy as the rest of us this time of year with family and whatnot. If it were just a matter of changing an HTML color tag that would be easy enough, but it requires more of a graphic artist to redo a bunch of the buttons and banners, etc. (take the green 914 in the banner on top of every page for example).
If Jeroen is busy working on his car instead of this site then I say more power to him 
But if he's just sitting around picking his nose (or whatever they do over there) then c'mon buddy, show us a little love 
Anything us numbskulls can do to help? Whenever I try to do a color change of something in Photoshop it comes out looking like

"bitch" ???
i'm with the guy with the wooden shoes on this one,
ask nicely and he might even devote some of his spare time to do a color change!
i liked the red and the yellow and the orange.
i like the current green as well.
how about PINK for our ladies?

stylesheets?
Posted by: Mrs. K Dec 19 2005, 12:58 PM
Sounds like it would take a lot of time....so maybe a poll would be in order for the color anyway....then whenever Andy or whomever does it can do it .....super

By the way, red and green may offend the non-christmas-celebratory people. The club (as an entity) may want to stay away from that. I think I'll start posting in 'festive' colors for the remainder of the month though.

LOL! Tha's some funny $h1t Ron.
Someone has obviously mistaken this site as some sort of democracy.

Forgot again...
Merry Christmas & Happy Festivus!
Posted by: GTeener Dec 19 2005, 07:13 PM
It isn't easy being green 
Pink 
Purple
Andy- Your car looks great in hot pink
Posted by: Howard Dec 19 2005, 07:20 PM
It's better than that freak Dutch orange! Unless the green is Irish green and it was used to placate the Irish Protestants who use orange. Can't use red, color of communism, blue and white too Jewish; red, white and blue out for obvious reasons, silver and black too German, too many French haters here to use blue.
Red, white and green could be Mexican, but some may take it as Italian, supporting the position that Italian cars are better than German cars. Can't do that here, even if we do driver NARP's. Logos that include stars, crosses, circles, crescents are likewise banned.
White on white? 
Gint, stick your Festivus pole where the sun don't shine. You're going to offend someone

Good try, Lou, but might offend gays and homophobes. Too rainbowish.

I dunno, I am kind of partial to that Dutch orange...so I am game for that again. Iffn' it's more work, then whenever is a good time frame.
But whatever, I'm mostly happy that there's a 914club to open up on gray mornings like this one -- and that Jeroen, SirAndy, and several others make it possible.
Paint it atomic purple for all I care.

P.S. Andy, I *really* like your car in pink...a lot. Kinda like the golden days of RSRs IMHO.

Most boards are skinnable. Meaning it takes work by the admins to make new graphics and adjust stylesheets for each "skin," but once multiple schemes are available each user could choose the one they prefer in their user profile. Isn't this version of "Power Board" skinnable?
Personally, I don't care what color it is. I'm just thankful for this board and all the work the admins do. 
Posted by: Jeroen Dec 20 2005, 09:29 PM
no color change, but I hope you enjoy the "festive" banner
(press CTRL+F5 if it looks the same)
ho, ho, f-ing ho!
