Site appearance and suggestions

[JetBck330i]

IMHO, the blue theme makes this site too dark. Nothing against blue, but can it be made a couple notches lighter in tone? I think it may even have a psychological effect on the audience's mood...
In the "edit your preferences" what's the "Board theme" for?
It'd be nice to have that table of smilies from the FAQ displayed while typing a post so we don't have to keep jumping back and forth. /forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif
The BBcode support is great, but links should be automatically made active. Either that of provide a place for us to type the url, without having to type tags.
How about supporting pictures in the sig?

Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your Supercharger report.

I appreciate the feedback!

I wanted to keep the site all in shades of blue. I have many other sites in other colors, I just wanted a different mood here. If you want a nice "hot" color site, check out the ZolSERVER (http://www.zolserver.com") site I built.

If anything is hard to read and can't be fixed by making your monitor brighter, let me know and I will fix it.

As for the Bulletin Board, I don't have time as of yet to get into the PHP and modify it (too busy modifying my BMW hahah)

Thanks!

I must say that I wholly agree with the color scheme here. I also have to admit that my 330i is Topaz Blue, so I guess I might be a bit biased.

Great site. Thanks for all the info...
