I like it. It looks like it'll be easier to navigate, and with a central resource, i won't have to go and try to remember which site had the info i was looking for.

That's great Chuck!

There are some formatting issues when using a smaller monitor/screen, but that's trivial stuff. The concept is great, I like where you're going with this. SS does something similar, but I hate how it has a "news feed" feel to it. The current setup you have is more like a blog, and I like it that way.

Yeah, below 1200 you will have to side scroll. ~80% of visitors are 1200+ so......

That's not a problem at home, but at work I'm limited to 1024px width. Granted, I have "better" things to do at work anyway

the cross site visiting does weird things with the chrome browser. Font changes on the original volvospeed page if open, no more blinking line for text input, spell check changed also. I think its prob a browser issue though.

I know i'm probably one of the few who ever used the old school Bay13 guides, but, one recommendation i have, is instead of having me click a category, have it where i can also click 'repairs' and it loads up a list view of everything like before(not same color scheme etc, just with all of them listed on 1 page would be nice within categories, don't need previews there imo ).
I personally like to go through and look at everything there, and to do that now requires quite a bit more effort...for me at least.

Otherwise cool...definitely will take getting used to but w/e.

Bay13 gets a good deal of traffic. 1000-1500 visitors a day usually ~6000 hits. I am re importing all the old data as we speak. The reason I do not have it one one list is curently it is ~200 pages. With 30forty50 and V70r it could double that very quickly. Thats reall bad from the page load standpoint and the search engine standpoint. What I may do is make a low-fi version thats txt only. It will depend on who else whats this. Also now there is a very fast search feature there.
