Car: Dodge Viper (I wish!) Rep Power: 233 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | http://www.finalgear.com/chat/ now snags your username from the forums if you're logged in, otherwise it defaults to "FinalGear" which of course will throw an error as that nickname is in use forcing the user to pick a unique username. Of course let me know if this doesn't work for anyone.

Rep Power: 0 ![]() | i like the stars personally. as viper said, it's clearer that it's a rating. though, would a tachometer that redlines at 10,000rpm be too tachy (no pun intended) as a rating visual? |

Car: Subaru RS Liberty Rep Power: 0 ![]() | Just found a bug, might be temporary but anyways. At this page, http://www.finalgear.com/shows/topgear/1/7/ clicking on "This episode's article on the FinalGear.com Wiki" takes me to the forum logout page with the message: "All cookies cleared" (http://forums.finalgear.com/login.ph...uthash=removed) If i then click back and click the "This episode's article on the FinalGear.com Wiki" link again, I end up at an error page "Fatal error: Call to undefined method PPTemplateFrame_DOM::splitBraceNode() in /var/www/hosted/finalgear.com/wiki/htdocs/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php on line 158" at http://wiki.finalgear.com/wiki/Top_Gear_01x07 This seems to happen for all episodes, not just the one mentioned above.

Helps people new to TG with the quality of the season - could warn off people with the quality of the pre series 4 rips perhaps? Point them to 6, 7, 8 and 11. Any how nice work Viper - excellent. |

| So far, great job. I love the screenshots, the ratings, and the download notifier on the right. Is there any though on adding some search functionality so we could search for specific segments, guests, or car reviews?
