Lol, Brad give him a custom title; FMV3 whinger of the year.

Calm down. I have supplied you with graffix for WADE and CRESCENT that are better than what you have done, and have offered to help with banners and graphics.

I ain't special - I am simply one of hundreds who want the blue.

Can you please explain, when you have time, why my 600 wide graffix are now being compressed so small that you can't even read the text?

These graffix were fine until you started automatically resizing images that were too wide... But 600 isn't too wide... Odd.


Anyway waggin - I was actually talking about MICROSOFT and APPLE WEBSITE - not some application or other. Here's some websites that use blue boxes for some ideas... http://www.visique.co.nz/ - Cheap and Easy
http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx
http://www.nzski.com/ - A little complex, but do-able.

I actually did the original nzski.com myself and it was pretty leading for its day (around 2000 give or take...)


Mate, I like the work you do and (once again) I appreciate the amount of work involved more than most people would.

If you're too proud to accept offers of help or take on board a whole raft of peoples dislike of the white then so be it.

Obviously you are FordMods, and us people who modify our Fords are merely web surfers whose opinions should just be rubbished.


Anyways Waggin, go have a beer, a shower, a smoke or what have you and take your mind off the Fordmods thing for a day or two and then come back to it.... Promise you that it'll do you the world of good and recharge your batteries for another assault on the mountain that is FM3.

Hey just an Idea (proably been asked before, if it has then . . err)

On FM V2 you had those tags in the for sale/Wanted section [SA] [QLD] [WA] ect, could you have a little drop down menu on the page that you can select the ONLY state that you want to see items from?

Thanks again, Keep up the good work!

There are a number of points I've made to Waggin that have simply been ignored. He's made up his mind that this is the best look for Fordmods, and ain't no one gonna change that, so help me god.

You obviously don't have to consult with the purchasers, end users or advertisers if you own a site yourself.


I wouldn't have considered myself to be winging, but if I re-read what I've written I guess that may become apparent.



Blah blah f'ing blah......

Thanks, will have a look at this.



Yes, granted they all look fine. This time around Fordmods just simply isn't using a blue background. It's not because I'm not capable of making it blue, trust me Just an interesting note - all 3 of those websites use a fixed width design


There have been many calls for help in the past, and no one has come forward. This site design wasn't actually done by me, but I did request that it was designed with a white background. So again, don't think that I'm not capable of producing a website which isn't white lol.


Or maybe we could say that Fordmods is a website to discuss your fords, not be obsessed with the colour of the background

Yeah, they're coming back soon

The for sale/wanted section will get a big overhaul once I spend less time explaining why the background is white

Ok, I have an explanation for you - the image was something like 1400px high, so it was scaled to 720px high and the aspect ratio maintained. This is not by design, but I may not have a fix for it immediately.. so hang in there.

what about having a few colour options for the background in the customise menu? that might keep a few people happy

the white dosent bother me much anymore, im getting used to it.

No, I dont think we'll be doing that. simply because as you said - you're getting used to it. Everyone will forget about the white background hoo-har in a week or 2 and love it. Except fiend, who will probably buy some blue cellophane to stick infront of his monitor

LOL! Love it!

WHY is the background white?

Who cares what the colour is!!! i didnmt like it to begin with, i adjusted the colour/brightness on the screen and now it aint too bad, still not my first preference, but hell i'll deal with it since im not on here 24hrs a day... alright sometimes i am

Bottom line is, if you dont like it F**k off!

Look dude I aint trying to piss you off about it I personnaly liked the blue like others and suggersted an idea.

I still would like to know what you plan to do with the free space? Google Adsense maybe?

I had a look at facebook fair enough, but that is 1 site from 3 i mentiond.

Clearly i am not as cut up about it as some.

But i would like to ask if we can have the option to turn the sig off when you feel like it, or code the site to display the sig once on each page?

I know fiend already suggested this but I have been thinking about it and i dont think it is a bad idea.
