who remebers the change over time?

im finding it hard to remember what the old site was like before i posted on this one!

all i remember was there was a big difference and tha change was a bit radical for me at first

like it now though :lol:

what had iut used to be like? i remembere the first login page type thing

[wisewood]

it was VERY different...
posts were not dynamic (they stayed where you posted them so popular posts just slowly dissapeared of the page)

it is hard to describe what it looked like as it was just a web page really - mostly white, with some blue and red... what more do you want mike? :lol:

[Dave_Hay]

i liked jordan......... mmmmmmmmm ;)

[wisewood]

oh - and novaload was written at the top in red with whte flecks in it (like cracks?) and ian's nova was in the top right corner... in it's old form with darker blue paintwork and older style front bumper too i think?

[Ian]

the older paint was actually lighter, but appeared darker in some pics - estoril blue..
and some people didnt get that template some had custom ones such as a sunbed one...jordan one...and one with a 70s disco theme...eh disco dave hahahah

[wisewood]

well fcuk my hat - why did i never know about that :lol:
i love disco :D

[Ian]

apparently dave hays nick name at school was disco dave cos he was so exciting heh and he wwas posting on pugwreck as disco dave so you know us never ones to take the piss, we thought we'd mak ean exception and changed daves to disco dave with beegees and 70s background and john travolta etc lol

[Dave_Hay]

:wink:

thats nearly correct, but the nicknames i had at school were more ****,wanker,fucking prick etc.......

[mikeoxford]

The old Novaload layout was a blue background with the text being in the centre with the blue background at the sides. It had Novaload up the top in red.

[Ben (lurk75)]

Probably get completely slatted for this and maybe even barred but i have to say the new site is great but.... i do think that the old Novatrader was much better than the new for sale forums :? :? :?

[kevw]

the old novatrader was much better, it was like a whole seperate site but running off the same database as novaload...

Ive got 2 weeks to myself coming up, its on my list :P

its amazing how quickly you forget something isnt it.

Like yesterday, I parked my car at the front of the office and then when I cam out 8 hours later, it took me 10 minutes to remember where I'd bloody parked! I actually walked around in the building for 5 minutes then went back inside (coz it was freezing) and got security to use the cctv's to search the carpark!

Found it 20ft from the bloody door!

That old splash screen brings back memories. That particular ones before my time. the one I was used to had a purple nova on it.
:D
