Marshalspost.com website: suggestions?
Hi All,
Now that I'm back from my travels, I can start working on the site again. So, what features, changes, niggles, suggestions do you have? All comments gratefully received (honest!). Cheers, Paul. (Who is enormously jet-lagged  )

Thanks boys and girls! Yes, an awesome time was had
What a lovely reception awaited me at Heathrow - cold and miserable weather. Ah well, nice to be home! |

Paul
Glad you are back because I was worried that the cup of tea you poured before your trip might have gone cold. You may recall that you were going to correct the post numbers on Croft diagram. Then I and others will finish off Croft. I can't check if you corrected it in the last couple of days, because tonight I cannot raise www.marshalspost.com I get page unavailable - are you messing about with it at the moment?.:confused: I think the one real confusing thing to the stranger is many don't realise that by clicking on the Post name you should get more detail. I don't think that is obvious enough. However I warned you about that before your excursion. If you emphasised how it should be done then a certain EP will be most offended because she did it differently. Now you had the courage to tell me I was wrong. Dare you say that EP is wrong?

Hi Rod.
Nope, EP is *never* wrong.  Yes, the server does seem to be playing up at the moment. I connected to it the other day and then when I finished doing what I was doing, it died. I've a feeling that the power supply is dead (the server is in London, I'm in Manchester). So it may take some time to get it back up.  As soon as it's back alive, I'll make sure that I edit the piccy to renumber the posts and then think about how we can improve the navigation of the post details hyperlink thingy. Off to get a cup of tea

LOL - you're not wrong Rod - but neither am I!
When I put my original posts up, there wasn't a facility for further detail - that happened later - so all the Kirky and Mondello stuff got put into the main page. What I DO need to do is move all the post info I did into the correct section now it's there! Then all will be right with the world, the angels will sing, small children will be able to play safely in the streets again and cups of tea will be given to everyone that wants them

So Paul is making the tea to sober us up after Christmas.
Thats one sugar for 2CVRacer, no sugar or milk for me, how do you like it EP?  There is a problem with http://www.marshalspost.com/ IT'S COVERED WITH SNOW FLAKES!!! How can racers race in snow? Rally boys have done it but then the posts are out of action. Has this trip turned Paul's head or has someone added a strong vodka to his endless cups of tea? Has he updated the web page yet?

Hi all!
I've been a busy beaver over the past few days, and I've re-modelled the site somewhat... Please have a shutfy at http://new.marshalspost.com and let me have any feedback. I'd be most interested to hear what you think. The site reflects all updates to the main site, but is read-only for the time being. Have fun! Paul. |

For once, somebody's changed something & actually improved it!
Now, of course, you're going to have to find new stories to keep it topical.... Just one little quibble, though. While I prefer websites that keep to 'sensible' colours, I'd like to see the orange background retained. |

It looks good Paul I like the new format. I'm also not sure about the background colour, I think the new version looks much more "grown up" and professional, but I quite liked the orange as well. Maybe you could add a little splodge of orange!!!!

Paul
Its now hailing outside and you have stopped the snow on the orange site. My word you have been busy on the new site, it is a big improvement, especially that links page - it works well. Me, find fault? I don't think the links to the "Partner Sites" at the bottom of the pages are working. Now as for the lack of orange.....

Thanks for the comments chaps.
Piglet, a little more professional is exactly what I was hoping to acheive, but without making it look too slick and stand-offish Rod, hopefully, I've fixed the Partner Sites thing. Just missing a couple of odds and ends... And everyone, what's with the orange obsession? To use my infamous phrase, I'll see what I can do

What, no lavender with blue spots?
Paul, think it looks great - but I've never been a fan of white as a background colour - find it very hard on my old decrepit eyes! Will email over weekend, as I have some content for you if you want it!

I wonder if the orange obsession is connected to the colour of www.mrmci.com
Trust that lot to cause trouble!

Hi Dave,
It's the teeny, tiny 'head' icon at the top of the page. Do you think this is useful? I thought it was only of use to me, but I can whack it in as a clearer link if that's what you'd like. BTW, I am experimenting with 'orangeness'. I just need to finalise something that looks nice. Have a peep at http://test.marshalspost.com to see what I mean...

I am sure you do this deliberately, but I can't open http://test.marshalspost.com Are you trying to hide your orangeness?
