Please check your PM for a test . Did you click on the "Request a read receipt for this message" checkbox?

div[id="header"], div[id="horizmenu"], div[class="search"], div[id="bluebar"], div[id="qdspicture"] {
  display: none !important;
}
div[id="qdsheader"] {
  height: 0px !important;

div[id="qdsmenu"] {
  top:0px !important;
  left:0px !important;

I really Like the top logo w/ black and silver. The redesign sure is welcome!

The multiquote and other new goodies are also awesome! Well done .

As a web-designer myself, I always appreciate suggestions for my sites so I thought I would give a few...
Suggestions for ClubLexus:

1) To reiterate what was said already to stress the importance, I wish the blank space on the right side would be removed because it just "feels weird." I thought there was something wrong with how my browser rendered the page but it seems as though everyone else has the same thing. The Asymmetry is awkward.

2) Because I am lazy, I would really like a "Forums" link on the top by "Home", "About Us", and "Industry News". When I first saw the redesign from the homepage, I didn't see a forum link on top and briefly thought the forum wasn't there anymore ! Then I explored a little bit and found it.

3) Maybe we can have paid subscription memberships. I would pay so that I can choose to disable ads, get special posting privileges (more images per post, longer sig length, miscellaneous image upload ability), and/or simply get a special title like "Elite CL Supporter" or "$10,000 Supporter".

This is what I see:

1280 X 1024 Res

No ads show up for me. I like the black at the top without the ad (I didn't know there was an ad up there until others posted it). But the side looks very awkward. Check out that wasted space on the right

The photo gallery doesn't seem to have a way to view My Pictures. Also doesn't seem to recognize the login.

There is also a banner advertisement on the right, but for now there is just one.

I'm sure Ethan will look into this as part of the work the tech team will do over the weekend... but the answer may be that we will fill up that 'wasted space' with advertisements from our forum sponsors.

I agree with you guys on the scrolling / compression / width issues. On my laptop it's more difficult vs my 24" monitor at home. You may all need to go buy bigger monitors now, sorry. You know you've wanted one for a while anyway so this is a good excuse.

Yep, we've noted that problem already thanks.

Link to it from the forums page - that seems to work for most. Seems to be some conflict between the WWW version and the non-WWW.

In the top banner, it says "A Lexus Owner's Club". That would be appropriate if the club consisted of only one member.

The correct punctuation would be:

"A Lexus Owners Club"

-or- consider:

"A Club For Lexus Owners"

I know that you're saying that as something of a joke, but what bothers me is that I'm not seeing any evidence that you guys are taking the screen real estate comments seriously. I can't help but take your comment as something you actually consider a viable solution.

I could submit the current design here to www.webpagesthatsuck.com, and am pretty sure that it'd be one of the front-runners for worst site designs of 2006 for poor usability and terrible use of space. I kid you not.

Guys, keep the feedback coming - thank you.

Please note the annoucement I have up (we lost our orange color highlight in the upgrade so it doesn't stand out) that we're taking CL down Saturday night at 9pm CST to address some of the errors and issues.

Default Fix 2.1

Dang I just realized that there's no need to use Adblock at all. Please use the much easier fix 2.1 instead, everyone. Faster page loads too.

Fix 2.1 for Firefox users:

1. Create a file named "userContent.css" under the directory "C:\Documents and Settings\<your Windows XP username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<some strange word>.default\chrome" with the following content:
Code:
@-moz-document domain(clublexus.com), domain(www.clublexus.com) {
div[id="header"], div[id="horizmenu"], div[class="search"], div[id="bluebar"], div[id="ad_728_90"], div[id="qdspicture"], td[id="rightcol"] {
  display: none !important;
}
div[id="qdsheader"] {
  height: 0px !important;
}
div[id="qdsmenu"] {
  top:0px !important;
  left:0px !important;
}
div[id="qds"] {
  top:35px !important;
}
}
2. That's it! Go to ClubLexus.
3. Thank me (OK this is optional).

Screen shot @ 1024x768 (visually almost identical to fix 2.0 except for the border background on the right):
