Is there a glitch some where???

Similar thing happens to me when I try to access the "forums" page. Sometimes I click "forums" 3 or 4 times and it won't show the Sandbar or any other forums pages. I dont know why that happens, usually I have to just close the tab and reopen again.

Has anyone else had this problem from their laptop? I don't like posting from my phone, the screens to small, so I could try Firefox instead of Explorer??

I don't really like the smilies. They're not in any particular order and most aren't relevant to what I'm looking for (but hell, I do most of my posting from the phone so smilies are irrelevant anyway).

. Its the Site that needs to re invent the wheel and captivate the audience . There are three channels a day all showing Brady Bunch reruns . what channel do I watch today?

I would say you have to look into the uploaded picture size and make them a standard size. Some threads are centered on my screen. some of the threads take over the computer and I have to scrole to the right just to see them. "pictures too large"

Other than that the site is really coming along great!

What about a firearms section? Vic, I know your not big on the idea, but a political section would probably get traction too. Problem is who wants to moderate the heated arguments that sometime ensue? Another idea is an update once a month to what the builders have orders for. I am anxious to see the M29.

From the outside looking in it seems 2 families that are longtime good friends will be reviving Hotboat.com. Most of us know you guys from over the years.The laughs etc. were incredible,was interesting for a long time. If you have the patients and the time to stick with the standards you have decided on this could grow into a awesome place for the boating industry and the people who build boats and the people that buy and enjoy boats,even Jet Boats.

Good stuff so far. As far as a political section, I'm still not convinced it would bring anything but trouble to the table. I dont mind a little political chatter here and there, but I dont really want to dedicate any space to it.

I'm still not thrilled with the smileys either. There are some new ones that are kinda cool, but I think we need to purge some of the old stuff out.

We have new content coming soon as well as a couple articles I think you'll enjoy. I keep getting reminded that its winter so things are a little slow. But thats hard for me to accept. So we're on the hunt for some good stuff somewhere on the planet.

Very interested in your feedback, please keep it coming!

I guess I'm still trying to figure out what this site wants to be. Will it primarily be a "forums" driven site with some or occasional content, or does it want to be a "boating content" site with a "forum"? It's hard to be both as witnessed by the early days of performanceboats.

We are trying to bring you as much boating content as we can. This is a 1.5 month old site and we have supplied a good amount of content. We have been to several boating events to get our name out there and meet fellow boaters and racers. Yes we are a boating site with forums. That gives you, me and every boating person a place to call home and post your builds, pics, share, and ask techncial questions, get advice, etc. I would answer your questions with we want this site to be primarily boating content with forums. I hope you are enjoying it so far thank you for your feedback.

No politics. Guns though are good!
