I re-organized the main page.  Just wanted to get some feedback, if everyone likes it doesn't like it?

Looks  good   :thumbup:

While you are changing things around, any chance you can place the brands of furnaces in alphabetical order?  I've been coming on here now since October and I still have to search for Shaver.   :bash:

Last question , is there a way you can make it easier to post photos on this site?  I think I can speak for many on here that have tried, it's sure difficult to post photos without jumping through a bunch of loops.  I shouldn't have to send my photos to Bull for him to re-size them and post.  I'm NOT computer literate and I'm a simple fellow as I get older...and that's the way I like things...easy and simple.

If everyone is ok with sorting them alphabetically then I will do it.  My concern is, most people are used to where they are located on the main page.

I increased the file size allowed to be attached to 2 MB per attachment and the size of the entire post can be 10 MB, hopefully that will help.

Putting them in alphabetical order seems logical, especially for new members. I think its a good idea.

Thanks for the larger file sizes. Hopefully this won't cause any issues for you or the server.

The front page looks good to me.  One suggestion that may be considered in the future; there are now 26 manufactures categories and growing - 6 since fall.  Perhaps any that have been around for a while and have had few posting should be lumped into an "other" category.  Two or three have not had a post in almost a year.  My .02$

How is the placing the brand names in alphabetical order coming along?

Phin i think it wouldn't take everyone too long to adjust to alphabetical order (if it isn't too much trouble to do it)

I say go for it, putting them in alphabetical order might make more since to guest and new comers to the site. I dont think it will be that big of an adjustment to those of us who use the site the most. But thats just my 2cents worth.
