Body/Appearance/Interior / Re: Interior color question
Smoke Grey is a medium grey on Fords. It's got a yellowish cast to it; in other words, it's a warm grey, not a cool (bluish) grey.

The 1985-88 TC's had a Raven interior option (so did the 1985-86 XR7's, for that matter) that combined a dark charcoal with Smoke Grey on the seats. I think there was a dark charcoal full interior option for them though. The NATO board would have more info (http://natomessageboard.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro).

Lounge / Layout, Colors, Fonts, etc.
OK, I think I have the appropriately dismal colors back. :) Been thinking about maybe upgrading the buttons and stuff later on.

Does anyone have suggestions or comments as to the layout colors, font colors, font face, etc.? We went through this a few years ago with the old board, and EZ was not really as flexible with making changes, just basic stuff really, so I did the best I could. Here we can do just about anything. Would anyone object to, say, a dark colored layout with lighter colored text? Or do you like the grey/blue scheme?

Basically I just want to get a feel for what YOU'D like to see when viewing the board. Keep in mind that not everyone will share your opinion. But I feel if enough people are saying the same thing, we should act upon it. Right now this board is barely removed from the stock configuration, so it looks like every other VBulletin board (coughcoughcougarnutscoughcough). And you know how much we hate to have things stock. ;) If you want one of us chief mechanics to tinker under the hood, so to speak, let us know here.

Lounge / Re: New addition to the marketplace forum?
The NATO board has a separate section for vendors/sellers....I like that idea, although I think just from the title of a thread, you can convey whether or not a transaction was good or bad (i.e. "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" symbol). Then inside you could post your experiences. If that works for ya, Zach, we'll get it going.

But until you promise to have my firstborn kid, namin' the board after ya ain't happening. ;)
