Just as few questions:
-I was wondering why some of the headings are red and some are in the color grey on the news page.
-I tried out the blog page. My 1st post did fine; when I tried to add to it today the comment disappeared. Don't know if there's a problem or if its me.
-Can the grey background be a shade darker on most pages and not get so dark through select forum posts?
-I agree that a 3D MARS symbol rotating is needed. Can someone with experience with that step forward to help?
-Can't wait for the updated robot pages. I think adding Nick's catapult animation will be great.We need a data sheet for our rookie year robot, Ramrod.
Website
The new look is sharp and Mega Awesome! I noticed Roboshark's site had a video graphic of a shark catching another fish on ther home page. How tough is it to add MARS video graphic to our site? Can we get someone other than (overworked & underpaid) Tim to do one?
Have a Mega Awesome day,
Cory
Front page feedback
Th white on Red background is a little hard to read. Can a blue to black font hue be used? Or maybe the Red hue brightness needs to be flattened a bit.
New Web Page
Great job! Very crip and pleasing to view. We might decrease the time to load a new random photo.
Looks real professional, again, great job!
Hi Tim,Alex, and Team, The
Hi Tim,Alex, and Team,
The website is geat. I like the color scheme and crispness.
When looking up members as a registered member, it would be nice to find members on first name basis rather than last name only.( EX. Jim Z, Jim E, Nick, Tim, etc...) A password should be required before giving out phone#s and other personal info. We don't want visitors to be able to steal our identity or worse, spam us by phone or email. Thanks.
More Feedback
Hey guys,
I like the new design a lot and I'm glad you finally put up a new picture on the front page. THANK YOU. That other one was getting really old. Also, the little "new and improved" box... Very creative! : ). Just one minor glitch i noticed. On the home page when you're not logged in it seems to crop the whole page so that it can fit in the username and password boxes. Might wanna look into that cause it cuts some people out of the group picture. Just letting ya know. Great job, Mega Awesome!!!!!!!

Just saying Hi

Feedback
Hi Tim,Alex,
Is it possible to create a screen saver to link to the pictures in the gallery? I'm thinking of something that would randomly draw from the collection. Perhaps a small .dll or script could link with some local application.
BTW,Great Website!
Jim E.
Post Please!
Now we need some visitors without the last name Arnold to post! A suggestion for Tim and Alex. Remove the little glossary question marks above words; they annoy me (but maybe this is only me?).

Yeah, I got bored. Mom says I count in her survey to see who uses the website... and yeah, I come here pretty often ;).
Some things I know could use some improvement:
- Robot pages describing Ramrod and Ball-istic
- Fix spelling errors on the sponsor page
- Do all of the other stuff on /todo ;)

P.S. I forgot to post this till I was packing up at 6:00, but here it is anyway.
