Default OFFICIAL HONDA-TECH.COM ANNOUNCEMENT EVERYONE READ!

Hey folks, just thought I'd throw this up so you could all have a bit of warning.

This evening (starting 9:30pm PST) Honda Tech will be down for a couple of hours as we convert to new software.

How will this affect you?
1. Not at all, no content will be lost, you ability to access the site will be the same. We do ask that you copy any important IM's, as the new software uses an e-mail style inbox, and cannot convert the existing IM's
2. We will retain the same look and feel of Honda Tech, and you ability to interact with it will not change.
3. New Search feature - there will be a new search feature that should be much improved over the existing one.

Hopefully we can get through this unscathed and Honda-tech.com will remain the great site that we've all come to expect

Clayton

to see the new PM setting, as much as this one annoys me sometime I've grown to love it haha

I hope they will still be separated under who you are talking with, so it's easy to keep track of the PM's instead of scanning through for one response.

But it will be nice not having the pop ups every time, right now my girlfriends computer won't allow them and it keeps making that awful noise every page lol

this sucks.... i like the old honda-tech way better. So where is my "honda-tech sponsor" title? We spend 3k a year to advertise on this site.... I hope they are working on getting them back under the vendors/advertisers names.

Why did they change the forum, I think it was fine the way it was.

End of my just woke up, don't wanna go to work rant.

This seriously Blows Big Donkey *****. No more Recent topics. had tons of threads and notes saved. giving your members a couple hours notice on changing everything is complete bullshit. Internet brands can suck my *******. I totally agree with jeff too. where are the sponsors banners.
Jeff, Tony, Laskey, Exospeed, Nyce1, NGR. i say you all join together Make your own forum. and have all the free sponsors that you want. cause i know this layout is just going to drive honda-tech straight into the ground!!!

EDIT!!!!
Damnit **** is way too slow to be posting just triple posted. Sad to say but i think honda-tech is gonna go down hill along with HondaHookup, Honda-acura and all the other honda sites that went to failures.

It's amazing how those "in charge" think they know what everybody wants, or in this case needs.

How many see that where you work?
