Good things about the new forum

A General Discussion forum for cars and other topics, and a great place to introduce yourself if you are new to NICO!

Since some of us, myself included, have critisized the new format, I think it's time to mention the positive things as well.

I'll just do one to start, so i don't use up too many, for other ppl to chime-in on.

Good point#1: I think it's great that we have a dedicated link for posting our rides pics and it's even better that we will get 24 hour service (in great contrast to before)..:cool:

Good to see you palmer. I like the new color scheme, options (smiles), and the whole format is tight. Similar to that Nissan sight who criticized the Q vs. Maxima. You can tell who's online and send private messages. Your right about the photo link to. Good idea. this site took alot of work and I appreciate the change.:beer

to a newbie to this format it may seem slightly overwhelming with option when compared to the old NICO site, but eventually you love it. you can easily post pictures, a short breakdown is listed with each members post on the right and once posts and info is built up the search function is just as helpful as before.

Hey guys this is the Speeddoctor. I am very excited about the new forums. Nancy, Torry and others have just done a wonderful job and I hope you all love the changes and when there is something we need to improve or change; let us know!

I am working double time trying to transition from my employed position at a regional hospital to my own practice. It has prevented me from participating on the boards and getting the NICO Store truly up and running. I have been working behind the scenes on some important programs that will affect the long-term viablity and depth of NICO. I'll fill you in on that later, but I have had some very interesting trips to Nissan corporate. The details and photos will be shared soon.

The really good news is that this change in my practice venue will give me a tremendous amount of time and money if necessary to take NICO to the next few levels. One thing that will happen is the hiring of a full timer to handle the store and general customer service. There is much to share in the near future about where we are headed. I wanted to explain to you all where I have been and what I have been up to.

You all have been the best and I can't wait to hang out with my gear head buds on these forums and in person! Speeddoctor

I really like the way the old threads have turned into articles.

If I see it correctly they are rotating thru..(?)

I tried but there isn't a way to get a full list of them to pic by title?

But that's very livable, them rotating thru like that is kinda cool:cool:

The m,ebers rides are also nice and complete.

Still havent found a spot were we can link a list of all of them like in the old club , but evenb so that they rotate thru the homepage like that is cool.

The idea of having a ring is also excellent.That way flaming threads can be moved there and still go on.Yet w/o disturbing the rest..

something is odd with this thread. everyone that posted in the first page posted on 7-24-03 for some reason. very odd that they posted in the future. Or is it just my computer being weird?

Look again... it's 7-23-02 at the beginning. Not 03. It was posted almost exactly a year ago. ;)
