This upgrade has been 18 months in the making, and we're finally running!

The new design is fully responsive, which means it loads beautifully on ANY device - Phone, tablet, PC, whatever you use to surf NICOclub!

Bear with us over the next few days, as we'll be cleaning up a few little glitches here and there, upgrading the navigation, and bringing you guys MORE functionality and a better user experience. :)

If you haven't already checked out the new and improved home page, go have a look - and let us know what you think.

Thanks for your patience, but even more than that, thanks for making NICOclub the LARGEST Nissan community on the web!

NOTE: Suggestions / comments welcome. We'll be reaching out to you guys soon to get some feedback on things you'd like to see added to the site in the near future, but for now, we're cranking on these upgrades and few little glitches. :dblthumb:

SEARCH function will be down for a little bit while we update the database and make some changes on the back end, but it's in process.

I would suggest changing the icons that are all over the page now to have actual words in them. That's always been a pet peeve of mine, especially with space phones...

i thought my computer was broken when i logged in this morning. it's...different. just going to take some getting used to. kind of like rearranging your furniture and remembering that you did so in the middle of the night after you stubbed your toe on the way to get a glass of water.

I think it's the username and avatar's now on the right side that is throwing me off.

Change can be tough, but it looks good. I know a LOT of hard work went into this so kudos to those working on it and the fact that it is up and running without issue so far!

Thanks all - Yep, there's still a lot to be done, but we wanted to jump in with both feet after making you guys wait so long.

Thanks for your patience and suggestions!

Yeah, the avitar on the right is a little annoying....like driving on the right side after being used to driving on the left for your entire life, I don't think I've see any forum with it in the right. I guess I'm used to reading from left to right...knowing who wrote the post before I read the post. But if this is the worst of it, I don't mind I guess. Overall looks good. I'm just really waiting to see the search.

Where are my messages?

It's fast but weird. Harder to tell whose post I'm reading since the avatar is on the left.

It forced me to re-read all your info and stuff.

...you need to update your car list.

Guys, if you see someone with a missing avatar, a broken link in their sig, or anything else that looks like it needs clean-up, would you mention it to them (either on the forum or in a PM)?

Thanks mucho!

Not sure if related to the new look, but my photo posting capabilities are gone. Tried four different hosting sites (drpobox, photobucket, flickr and one more). Pics appear as links only. My signature is gone and I cannot fix it. Happens while using IE or Chrome browsers. Any help would be appreciated.

Images seem to be working fine for me. Are you putting the image tags on them?

I've tried with tags and without. I swear I tried anything and it doesn't work for me. I also cannot update avatar. The pull down menu is blank.
I wonder if it's my computer at work. I will try at home to see if I have the same problem.

Yeah we are aware of the avatar issue, and are working on it.
Send me a link to a thread where you tried to post pictures, and I'll look at your post to see if you did anything wrong.

Yeah there appears to be an issue at the moment with sig pictures if you try to change them. You get an error message saying it can't verify the pic size.

I can't seem to remain logged when I leave and come back even if I click remember me. I can't give a specific time frame, a few hours or maybe a day or so.

Also, is this the best the search is going to be, or are there upgrades to that which haven't been gotten to yet?

I also personally preferred the old way where the signature image was only shown once in a thread.

Are we going to be able to make the pictures people post bigger again? I don't know if this is happening to everyone, but you used to be able to hover over a picture and on the upper right side click the + sign in a magnifying glass icon to make the picture bigger.

Not sure about the login issue... are you on a work computer or something where it does an auto cookie dump?
I THINK there's some search feature upgrades coming, but they'll be after the usability fixes.

The sig problem is on the radar.

Yeah right now they aren't auto-resizing down. When that gets fixed, the zoom option should return.

I don't like the avatars and vehicle list on the right at all. Functionally, it makes no sense for a left-to-right-reading forum. Sure, the focus is shifted to the content of the message, but text without any real identification loses it's context on a message board like this one. Just some small black text isn't appropriate for ID after you've been using avatars for 10+ years... Please change.

Everything else is solid as Snake.
