Gosh, I'm sure going to miss the information about the 2009 MRA Kukuleganga Rally.......has become a firm favourite of mine over the years. But, really, looking forward to the new AL face.

Cheers Madz ..

Saw a glimpse of the new home page before you took it down. Looked good!!

[YALA]

yeh saw it on my i pad in the morning but logged on from my office place it was taken down..either way looks good

It was up till late afternoon. But lots of 500 errors.

New site seems to be using Joomla CMS. I think WordPress with a good magazine style theme is a better option.

New version seems more attractive than the earlier one. Congrats !!!

Madz, whay don't you change Autolanka logo in to a better one (auto Lanka.com) .

My personal idea is existng Autolanka logo (auto Lanka.com) is not much attractive. Hope to see a better change.

That's cos it's like the Emperor's new clothes...there was never a new site, people just pretended they could see one so they wouldn't feel left out.

Actually the new site was available for a very brief period of time yesterday. Therefore most of you guys must have missed it i think. The main page looked rather cool with improved graphics but the forum links were dead. Even the classifieds were not working properly. I guess it was revoked to the old status due to that. I guess Mads and the team are working on it now

I was being sarcastic. I saw the site, the forum worked fine as I commented on the new site at that time.

[dillongt]

Can't wait anymore...lol

Hey Madz, it might be good to have a 'Comment' tab on the classifieds... that will take the burden off 'Post Whoring' just a thought..

Please don't try with Joomla, wordpress etc.. Just start developing **from the scratch** using php or asp.net

CMS might be easier when developing the site initially. But introducing customizations based on various requirements later might be cumbersome. ( and also debugging )

2 parallel sites can be operated till the last moment. ( Both sites can connect to the same database for showing purposes till the new site gets active )

You can give the new site for testing for members first. Once making sure everything looks ok , you can replace the existing domain to show the new site.
