    Correct - been talking about it for awhile along with many other things. Frankly, I realized I didn't have time to do all the work and am paying a firm to help with the migration. It will also have a full classifieds system (that I don't have to develop) and Reviews system. I'll post all the fields I'm looking to have as optional inputs, plus I got some feedback at MOTD that the garages input could use some simplification. Will be working on the garage creation stuff also.

    All,

    I wanted to provide an update on how the development is going. As always, provide feedback, thoughts, questions comments. The more feedback, the better I can make this update! :Stig:

    When the new site is released there will be three different "theme" choices.
    1) Motoring Alliance
    2) Motoring Alliance Dark
    3) Motoring Alliance Old Style.

    Below are some screen shots on the different styles:

    Blue looks better to me. I agree with @Dave.0 I like the dark mode.

    Nope - there will continue to be two styles
    1) Old style - it will be updated, but will be essentially the default navigation
    2) revised new style both in light and dark color themes.

    Once we get that far I will post some pics of those also.

    Good deal - I think those three options will cover most members desires... or at least I hope so. :Nailbiting:

    It doesn't matter with me. Since I still know nothing about posting pics, I'll just remain my old unobtrusive self and post comments whenever I feel the need.

    I haven't learned how to truly navigate the present M/A. Guess I'll get to try again here soon. o_O

    It will look a little different but it will navigate the same. It will still be old fart friendly, us old farts have to stick together.

    I know change is inevitable. Hope this doesn't become the GP3 of MINI forums. :eek:

    Justa kidding. :Whistling:

    You mean lots of unclear specs, marketing materials and release dates.. lol. Maybe we can get buzz going by doing things like that. :).
