RennTech v3 on it's way - update 3

Icon 3 Comments
Sorry, things slowed down here a bit with the site update as I had to deal with death in my family.
Then, today the power supply on the server gave out - but the good news is that the power supply was replaced and we are back online. Now we can start to finish up the work to get us to version 3 of RennTech.org.

New Integrated Menus
A completely new menu layout that ties into the new forum software. Perhaps a little more intuitive as it highlights (with the green tab) where you are at all times.

RennTech v3 on it's way

Icon 19 Comments
Well, after 6.5 plus years operation and the first major upgrade since fall 2005 - it is time update the forum software.
It will be different in some respects but will hopefully be even easier to use and have some great new features.
Besides, change is good!

As part of the upgrade the whole back end code for the site is being replaced with...

New Reviews Section

I've never been happy with the 3rd party solution we had for products and service reviews.
So, we have taken a Reviews script made for this forum software and modified it meet our needs.

The new Reviews section should be much easier to use - since it works just like the forum posting section.
It allows any member to write an initial review...

Product claims and dynos -- and reality

There has been a lot of discussion on several Porsche boards recently about new products that give "10-15 more horsepower" or "20-30 more horsepower" or whatever.

I just wanted to give my two cents here (in my Blog, rather than elsewhere).
Not that these things should not be discussed - by all means they should. But because...

Move completed and network problems

Icon 2 Comments
Well, I have completed my move (to Roseville, CA).
My new (fiber) Internet connection is 10 MB download and 10 MB upload - Sweet!!

At about the same time as my move the server started having some trouble with traffic and uploading. My hosting company (and I) have spent the better part of 3 days troubleshooting the problem and I am happy...

Moving (not the site - just me)

My wife and I are moving so I will have limited access to the Internet from March 5th until at least March 15th.
Our current home closes on March 6th and our new home does not close until March 13th - so we will be staying in hotels (hence the limited access).

I will try to keep up with donations and the many great discussions here but - it may...

Server backend updates... oh my....

Icon 1 Comments
Well.... my advice is don't put off computer updates -- it will be much more painful later than sooner.

I put off several server updates for almost 2 years. Problem is some of the backend software was so old that the support had or was soon to end. So I thought it would be simple just to do updates for the affected software packages. Sounds...

Option Codes Lookup gets Search

Icon Leave Comment
We have added a search feature to the Option Codes Lookup section.
You can now search for a string of option codes (i.e. M030 IXAA M601).
As the note at the top of the page says - you must search using proper precodes.
"All option searches must begin with the proper precode i.e. the sport suspension option 030 must be searched by M030.
On...
