theCJ2Apage is full of great information, pictures, stories, etc. However, I've found it's pretty difficult to find what I'm looking for sometimes. When I first found the forum I knew instantly it looked pretty dated. My suggestion would be to possibly switch it over to a vBulletin website. I know this costs money, but I believe it will only benefit the community.

vBulletin has a more organized look and feel to it. We could select someone's profile and find their started threads. I read someone created a wiring harness, but couldn't find it very well through the profile system. We could have a gallery section divided up by categories such as: stock, mod, conversion, vintage photos, etc. Somewhat like this: http://www.6x6world.com/gallery/

The forum sections themselves are great. It's just that so many priceless pictures and builds have been hidden in pages. With a gallery feature, everyone could set up an album and tell the story with pictures, for someone who isn't interested or have time to read 20 pages in a thread. That's just my 2 cents Smile

Using the Advanced search you can find threads started b y any member.   I think that you should learn to use the various features of the Advanced Search before deciding that you cannot find things.  each bit of software has their own methods and you must learn them in order to use them effectively.

The gallery is my biggest wish, I love scrolling through pictures.

I didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm sorry.

I don't think any offense was given.Personally I like the way it is set up. Although there is times I wish I could instantly find things and it takes me a while to find it.

Feedback is always welcome!

You can try the google search on the homepage.
http://www.thecj2apage.com/

There you can use all of the google search terms.
https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/136861?hl=en

I might try to integrate it with the forum.
