HUGE improvement in load speed, and now only 48 requests! Good Job!

Here's what it looks like now, on identical test conditions as before:

Lol, I must of had a brainfart :)

It's fun to play with things that are out there. Put them on a test site if you want to play with them. You should see all the odd things I have on my test site. :) Sometimes I just like to see what other people have created, ya know?

Since this is really more like a hobby to me I have fun trying things that look cool. But, at the same time I'm really picky about installing any mods that may interfere with the workings of my site. In the past four years on Vbulletin I have probably done at least 25 complete new installs. I am VERY picky about my site even though it gets no traffic.

I think social media such as Facebook, Twitter and others have taken a chunk out of site/forum memberships.

On a parting note let me just say to all the VB crowd, Merry Christmas.

Hi Gary,

I'm a bit late for this review, but if you are still interested in feedback, here it is...

The above is a screen shot of how ALL your pages look like on my laptop (resolution 1280 x 800 pixels).

Your home page, all your forum sections, and all your threads look completely identical, unless I take the time and effort to scroll the page down. The above screen shot is of one of your threads actually.

ALL, and I really mean "ALL", that you see of your page in the above screen shot should fill no more than 30% of the vertical space it fills now. People should see substantial amount of REAL content of your page without scrolling. I see 0% of content without scrolling your pages.

On the positive note, I'm sure your site looks very nice on a large computer screen. I like the colors, design, etc.

Good luck, and post when ever you modify your design. I, and others, will be glad to give feedback.

not being funny, but how many members are you trying to gather from( Descendants of either Lee Thomas 1871-1948 or Thomas Owens 1857-1937)?

15-25?:confused:

The site is for family use only now.

It looks very simple and user friendly.

Good luck :)

G!
