I thought I might let you know what's going on with this site as we speak. There's a brand new site design for the main site coming soon and appropriate forum style to match. The new design will be much more compact and more efficient, plus a lot easier on the eyes. It's a complete rebuilt from the ground up, but nothing will be lost in the change thanks to the database driven backend. A new key feature will be a site search system that lets you find exactly what you're after far quicker. The system will search all areas of the site (articles, database and galleries) and display them all at once so you're guaranteed to find what you're after. I don't like to set dates for anything, because I never actually meet them, but it will be ready *soon*. No previews either; I figure you can all wait and see. Rest assured that the design is a huge improvement on the current design, and it takes into account some of the responses I got from the survey.

Sounds cool, your sites designs are improving with every revamp. So is updating and running TT and RC.com.au a full time commitment for you now?

In a normal week, if I spend two hours working on the sites then I've done well. That is to say, no, it's anything but full time.

Gotta say, Nice update dude! Make the site a lot easier to navigate. All the good info seems to jump out and say README As kath would say "Its Noice..."

LOL wouldn't life be grand if you could make a living from this little website... Don't think that's happening anytime soon ay Richard :-)

Of course, if you want to help me make a living from this site, get buying!

On an Averagge Richard, How Many people per month purchase the goods from Cafe Press?

Where did the posters go? Do uou have anymore of those park profile posters? I think they look really good because they are colourful and contain a bit of info. A SFMM or a KBF one would be cool, then I could gety a few and put some up in my room. Also, The green you have used on this new site reminds me of AAF, the old lime green looks better IMO, but its your site anyway.

Sites looking good, but i think it needs a lot more color. Just my thought.

A definite improvement. I was a bit worried there while the change-over was happening as the forums didn't match up with the new site layout and the tables were a bit skewed. Ofcourse it's all been fixed now... thanks to Richard and his eye for detail. I still don't really get the main graphical heading though. I know Rich once told me it was a roller coaster but I just can't see it

The posters are still around but the link's become somewhat lost. They can be found here. Thanks everyone for the support of the site. Remember I'm more than open to comments or suggestions about it. If you've got something, let me know or post in the Site Issues forum.

Hey Rich just noticed the change to the graphic in the main header. It looks so much better. I can actually see the roller coaster now! Looking good

I know some people have said they preferred the original site design. What I've done is made it so that the old site design can also be used. All the content is identical. Simply use http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/old/. If you get a link for the original site design you can add the "old/" to reflect the old site, i.e. "http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/article.php?aid=27" would become "http://www.roller-coaster.com.au/old/artic...icle.php?aid=27".
