For the longest time I couldn't figure out why the search wasn't working for some people. Well, I finally figured it out and it was related to the template you use to view the website. If you were using the Mark IV red template it was causing an error. I'm always on the heritage one so I could never replicate the error.

It appears solved, but if it persists let me know.

Dave -

That also seems to have solved the problems seeing the Quick Links and the ability to get to the Registry. Thanks.

Thank God! I feel like a dummy for not realizing it could have been relating to the templates. But I mean come on, who wants to view the website in red :wink :biggrin

DBK, I am stunned at how fast the site works now for me since you fixed the template problem. It no longer takes me two strokes to logoff as well. I never realized there were issues. I can see all the banners now with movement. Thanks Frank

It's because I added a secret layer of white underneath the red, which makes up for red's slowness.

No, in all honesty, I had no idea they existed either because I haven't messed with that template since it was created, and had no idea further updates to the overall site were causing conflicts. Sorry about that.

The red cars are fast, it was just the red site that was slow. One might wonder if it was an envious non red owner who programmed the glitch.:rofl

Anyway, thanks for fixing it.:thumbsup

Dave - I guess you never caught my posts regarding the "Mark IV Red" template:

Here's another one - When selecting a person's name on a thread, to get the menu items:

View Public Profile
Send a private message to "Username"
Send email to "Username"
Find More Posts by "Username"

They do not appear when "Mark IV Red" is chosen with the "Quick Style Chooser."

PS - are the Mark IV Red issues intentionally created to harass Dr. Frank?


Here's one - When selecting "Mark IV Red" in the "Quick Style Chooser" at the bottom of the main page, it somehow disables the Sponsors Link Ads at the top of the page, above the menu selections. All other color choices seem to work OK.

Ralphie

PS - I don't mind, as it allows the pages to load faster, but then again, I like to use those links to contact the vendors when necessary.

I used to get the message:

"Sorry, we couldn't find http://registry.fordgtforum.com/"

Found a Bug! When selecting "Mark IV Red" in the "Quick Style Chooser" at the bottom of the page, it somehow disables the ability to get to the Registry. All other choices seem to work OK.
