Awesome, thanks Wayne!

Many thanks to the past owners...but very glad to have you aboard.

As a fellow entrepreneur, I admire what you have done with Pelican and I am sure you will make many improvements here...it is in our DNA and what we do.

The great thing about this forum is it inclusive and helpful to everyone from the most exotic Porsche owner to those who found their first Porsche under a tarp covered with 8 inches of snow in the county pound.

Man...the things you miss not logging in for most of the weekend. Well, welcome Wayne! Glad to have you, and so far, other than a little hiccup with my "Boxster Picture Game" thread's pictures that has since been cleared up, I'm not minding the changes to the forum so far (300 PMs, woohoo!). Pelican's saved me at least $500 just this year (my first of ownership) in parts costs, and I'm sure it'll be an even greater amount in the years to come.

I thought I was gonna be the only guy to ask about parts discounts, but looks like Appleguy beat me to it.

(so uh, just out of curiosity...do we get one?)

If I can make one suggestion, maybe the automatic logout period can be extended by about 5 minutes?

Again, very nice to have you, and thank you for keeping this forum alive and healthy.

Hmm, I'm not sure exactly what you mean?

I know exactly what he means. Sometimes when replying to a question I'll search for a few links to add for clarification. If we do this and it takes more than a few minutes, 986forum drops our log in. Now we have to copy and paste everything to a clipboard, log in again, copy and paste to the forum, and complete our post. A 30 minute window to post would be helpful before being dropped out due to inactivity.

I have a forum request...

Six stickies per forum category is excessive and it is annoying to have to look half way down the page to find the active threads.

Can we let the stickies go and if they warrant being on top they will be there because of peoples actual interest in the threads.

Or start a special category just for all the stuff that is now stuck to the top every category.
