New forum features

[Eugen]

thank you @relu your mentioning me worked! I deserve a beer! I'll have to go buy some tonight

I've installed an extension to mention users by username like this @Spike188 should receive a notification that I mentioned him in this post. Difficult to mention Tim because he uses a character that I don't have on my keyboard But I can mention @MattA and @Gordy and @DavidBarkey and @Chad and @Eugen

To mention someone you simply write the character @ and start typing the username, and it should show user names that start with that letter.

I'm excited about this feature because it would be nice to say something that you know should attract someone's attention. Let's see if this works, as I haven't tested it yet.

@Eugen the accent on the A means nothing, I must have fat fingered it when I was setting up my account. I don't have it on my computer either, so I can't log in on it. I'm ok with changing it, as long as it doesn't cost me too many beers.
I could go back to Timj from my previous life, or just get a normal A on there.

Another improvement to the site. You probably have noticed that our manuals section

http://ccigt.com/manuals

was a bit of an eye sore, especially on mobile devices. I meant to find some way to provide a better reading experience of this entire section, and finally did it. Should be much easier now to browse and navigate on both desktop and mobile browsers.

Besides the usability it many also increase the google rating which suffered. This might help bringing in new users, because currently anyone who gets a Case tractor and looks for a manual google gives them a link to the old manuals site which mostly doesn't work. Still, those people then go and open an account there. Which is fine, I just wish we at least show up on the first page of Google search so that people can have an alternative. There's place under the sun for both sites.


Here's a couple of screenshots from my phone.

I just checked my goggle page, ccigt came up 8th with case colt Ingersoll search. We've really moved up.

Query "Case Garden Tractor Forum" in Bing and CCIGT is the first listing. Woot!
