Montoya: Thanks, I didn’t spot that problem. Will be working on a fix ASAP

One further comment on the bug - it appears to me on brief testing that the "floating video window" problem only occurs when there are YouTube videos near the top of the page, not other video formats, but you will want to confirm this. Again, thanks for all the efforts on this site, and thumbs up for the format changes - a really clean look.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday!

I concur with DevonK with the image clicking issue. Thanks for looking into this.

Apparently where you really got your huge growth and thus opportunity to really cement your golden reputation and need (for the community), is when RaceSimCentral shut down for all those months. What makes your site so attractive is the uncomplicated ‘get to the facts’ type of content that many of us are so interested in; the latest juicy ‘details’ of our sim sport and it’s developing future. If we want more, you often have links so we can delve further if so desired. You don’t over clutter this incredible site.

edit: to DevonK’s comment down below… yes, I can confirm this about the video issue. Also when editing a comment one has to scroll to the top of the page too.

All the best to you!

DevonK:

You asked for feedback with bugs – one minor issue: when you have scrolled down the main page, if you click on a image down the page to view it, the view window does not open where you are but instead is up at the top of the page and so you have to scroll back up to view it. That in itself is not so bad, but if there is a window for video already embedded in the top area of the page’s text, the video window floats on top of the image you have opened to view, partially obscuring it, and scrolling can’t get rid of this problem. (This is in IE8.)

Thanks, I didn’t spot that problem. Will be working on a fix ASAP

Happy Birthday VirtualR.net! This new design is nice and strange at the same time. I will need time to get used to it.

Thanks for all your work on this site, I find it’s a great way to stay current with the latest mods for the Simbin series, and for getting the latest news.

Didn’t notice the change to be honest, that’s a good thing, I like it. VirtualIR is a nice site, its a hub for all sim racing related news and there is a healthy community that grill each other over the news.
