I'm aiming to do my second race in October, looking for a nice safe/sure finisher, rental for a single race, (not likely both days). I need to finish another race so settle up my novice permit and get my regional license, would like to get it out of the way before my Novice permit goes up next March. Anyone local to STL got any interesting cars to rent? It actually doesn't need to be fast, I'm just looking to complete a race, and I promise to try my best not to do what I did to Jude's car! Though any damage I will obviously pay for..... I'm looking long ahead of time so I can start budgeting everything out before then. posted from...

Community Server can be a pretty powerful tool if you take your time to setup a decent site for your users. Here are a few tweaks I've made to SCCAForums.com to make it a bit more user friendly. On the home page there are sections for active, unanswer, and my posts(if logged in). These controls don't provide much information to the user though, by default only a link and portion of the subject of a forum post. On SCCA Forums I've setup the controls to display the user who made the last post, link directly to the last post rather than the first post, and also display and link to the particular forum that the post was made in. To do this you need to add the following script to your default.aspx page. <script language="C#" runat="server">  int getPageNumber(int replies) {  int page = 1;  if (replies > 14)   {   page = 1 + replies /15;  }   return page; }</script> You also need to change the ItemTemplate section of the ThreadRepeater controls to look like the following <ItemTemplate>        <div class="CommonSidebarContentItem">    <strong><a href="<%# ForumUrls.Instance().PostPaged((int) DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MostRecentPostID"), getPageNumber((int)DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "replies")))%>"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Subject").ToString() %></a></strong>    - <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "MostRecentPostAuthor") %>    (<a href="<%# ForumUrls.Instance().Forum( ((Thread) Container.DataItem).SectionID ) %>"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Forum.Name") %></a>)        </div></ItemTemplate>     More tweaks to come....
I got my Novice Permit and copy of the GCR in the mail on Friday. I also got my confirmation from the St. Louis region for my entry into the Driver's School, though they didn't seem to get my number correct, 59 instead of 69, I need to follow up with them to see what happened there. posted from...
