Were you not around for the old version of the site? It had a search feature and it'll be back (not at first) in the new version of the site. Highlighting the search phrase too. images/smilies/smile.gif

<< I've been here for an amazing ... 20 days!!! So that would be a no. images/smilies/wink.gif

But good then images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Make the episode guide aa wiki (or equivalent) so "anybody" can edit/add information to missing episodes? Or top much work probably. Would be fun, though. Any volunteers?

Well I know you signed up here in the forums then, but wasn't sure if you had visited the site before then. images/smilies/wink.gif

And I'm not going to have any comment system or anything on the main site. People will use it to spam or ask questions like "why won't BT work?!?". We have the forum threads for discussion / review. images/smilies/smile.gif

I like the first one. One presenter doesn't make an entire show. (Although Hammond could have a better picture).

I don't like the first one - it's really ugly. But the second one is far too specific.

I vote for the idea of the first one - some sort of combo of the main presenters...but maybe have some people like zerosignal design a few and we'll vote on it...just a thought

Yeah, that pic of Richard isn't that great. The FG ones seem to be too close. Maybe if they weren't cropped as much. But I like the idea of having multiple presenters, so I like the top one better.

That looks bettter I think, especially the Top Gear one. Good work! The only thing that might make it look better is a nicer picture of James perhaps?

FUCK!!!!

I deleted my local database 'cause I forgot that I had modified it a lot and downloaded the one off gear.viper007bond.com 'cause I was missing a couple episodes in my local database.

Now I gotta add all of the season/episodes again, add the columns I added, etc. etc.

Definertly no site upload today. images/smilies/cry.gif
