So what are we still missing?

You should never put two spaces after a period unless you're on an old monospaced typewriter. Seriously. That's not even a web thing.

Thanks for making the archive available Baxter! I see you fixed the numbered lists. It also looks like the boxes for the spam/vote/quote/reply pictures are smaller, you've been busy! Much better, the boxes around the pictures still seem unnecessary for an otherwise bleak header/footer, but significantly better. FWIW, web stuff always defaults to single space after the period, but many document formats still require double space after the period. After doing tons of school reports, thesis, etc. I'm brainwashed to do double spaces (required in those formats). Don't even get me started on other horribleness like APA formatting...

It's how every email I send and the ones I receive from people who know how to type are formatted. I beleive even the estemed magazine single spaces after commas, but double spaces after periods, the way God intended.

BTW - Thanks for the bold names!

Nope. No double spaces in the magazine. AP style (and most others, but not all) say single space after the period. The only reason two spaces ever came into fashion at all was because of old monospaced typewriters. If you ever want to make an old-school typographer pissed, put two spaces after a period. They're likely to throw some lead type at you. On the web, it's irrelevant, as double spaces are always collapsed, whether anyone likes it or not.

I should mention though, that smart word processors and page layout programs know to put extra space after a period. It's actually a space and a half.

I am going to http://grm.classicmotorsports.net/forum/, which is the address I thought the old forum directed me to.

Oh, go straight to grassrootsmotorsports.com like normal... that grm@classic was just a temp, it no longer forwards here...

Exactly.

ah. my mistake. thanks for the tip

If I click on "Latest Posts" I get the Yellow Star to take me to new posts, but If I click on "New Posts" at the top, I see all the new posts, but there is no yellow star.

Why would there be a yellow star denoting new posts on a page of all new posts?

To take you to the new posts?? Otherwise you can click on the title to go to the beginning or the last post to go to the last post.

Sweet...I saw sig tests in process! I can only imagine Baxter cussing as he codes...

Bryce

Very observant

Hell, I could hear him cussing several states away. :grin:

I dunno about cussing, but my brain hurts.

Baxter's sig was something like "I hate signatures" or "I hate sigs"...so the feeling seeped through the computer screen pretty quickly. :grin:

The post Numbers are missing. It makes referencing back to a post with out quoting it a bit difficult.

Why don't you just hit the reply button on the post.... referencing back problem solved.

This is a test of the "Reply" button.

This is another "reply" test... I'm going to see where this goes.

Tim, I know your probably aware of this but since you might be running out of bugs...

I noticed in the readers ride section that the "sort" feature reorders the posts but not in a recognizable pattern. The sort option on the right hand toolbar seem to work fine, but the ones on top of each column seem to have a mind of their own...

I'm out of Rice Krispies. I checked the FAQ section and found nothing. Am awaiting input.

Seriously, thanks for all the work your doing, It's really coming together.

Links inside the forums to outside the forums open up some weird browser window (no address bar, among other things).

Also, although there are clearly more readers' rides than fit on one page, there is no indication that there are any other than the ones that appear when you click on the link. I wouldn't have been aware except that I noticed that several rides, including my own, weren't there.

I don't understand how the reply button references back. to me it seems to just drop my reply at the bottom.

This post was a "reply" to Baxter's last post.
