I'm too lazy to check, but are there any models/years your missing?

OK, I'm not THAT lazy. I do see you've got a lot to fill yet ;) Keep it going though!

tony

Does my 02 SSEi qualify? If so, i'll get some pics tomorrow. :D

Jim: Thanks. I hope to organize even more sometime. Its not quite perfect.
Dillcc: Yep, there are quite a few to fill yet!! But every submission helps. So I can't do it alone, need all the support i can get.

Thank you Tony and Ryan.

BONEZ, I will take them for SURE. If you read the guidelines, you know what i need, so yes, please!

Cool, i will have some good photos for ya tomorrow. :D

Tell me guys, go here, and tell me, which looks better and is easier to use? The slideshow format? Or the montage layout that you gotta click and go back with? Just want to know, because the slideshow might be easier for people with dialup. The only problem is, the slideshow only works with Internet Explorer, firefox and all other browsers don't support the virtual scroll function. It just expands all the way out, which is annoying.

Please, PM me with your opinion. Thanks!

required sidescroll FTL...

WELL its a new week!! And we have no submissions yet!!! We were on such a nice roll there. Bonez? Pictures? Got em? Anyone else!? We have TONS of space to fill! We have tons more space, ALOT more transfer volume, a NEW domain! I can add new photos of your car thats already in there, replacements, new entries, you can request a different order for your photos to be in, maybe something doesn't look right, like i forgot to add your rank, or your name? Any and all suggestions are appreciated. If you see something spelled wrong, in the wrong place, a link not working, something leading somewhere else, PLEASE PM me, I am trying to make this a really good website!

Thank you to the current contributors, you know who you guys are, I wouldn't have gotten this far without you.

One problem I have right now is that most of you aren't seeing the BC fonts. I looked on my mac and noticed it doesn't look NEARLY as cool as from what I see. webmasters, do you know how I can make the bc font distribute automatically to anyone using the site?

You should see it as this:

Do you have high speed internet? I can send some. How many do you perfer per
e-mail?

I have a collection, I will send to you hopefully over the weekend.

that looks great. I will get some pics of my 94 sle for ya.

If you can't, I'll put a picture package of my old 94 SLE for you Collier. Send me a PM if you want them.

March 1, 2007 Update
 

Update: I'm very sorry about the site not being updated recently. My laptop is STILL dead and they have not even gotten the box to me to send it out :x :? I am watching for new entries in the mean time and appreciate any new entries anytime and will add them when I have everything back up and running. Thanks to all of those that have supported this project, hopefully it will be complete before the year is out! Or so I hope.

Another new feature will be specifications through the years. I was going to get opinions on this of what info people would like to see, how specific the info should be, such as dimensions, specific engine information, links to BC threads and techinfo articles, but wanted to get permission before I start doing any large amounts of linking to this website. I will hopefully be able to expand this to more than just pictures, but more of an 87-05 model specific information database. Of course this won't happen right away, but I wanted to start out with pictures, and work my way up.

Any suggestions or other constructive thoughts and information are more than welcome. :)

For those of you who are wondering whats going on with the catalog today, I really have no idea. I am trying to find out myself. We'll see.

Bonneville Photo Catalog
 

How about providing the history of the Bonneville from beginning to end. I know it's probably a lot of work but would be interesting to see how the bonneville evolved and changed over the years.

Re: Bonneville Photo Catalog
 

thanks andrew.

yes, that is the place to go for the Bonneville timeline. I actually have put some time into that wiki article because I really wanted that info somewhere where people can add info for older generations. When it is complete...which it may never be, I will probably add some of that info into the catalog, but first will be basic factual specs, then all the loose stuff like options, standard features, etc.

thanks for the suggestion

Re: March 1, 2007 Update
 

Nice job :2thumbup:

Was wondering what if someone wanted to see someones gallery? Is it going to be possible to search a gallery by user name?

I'll send some of my 95 SSE and my 02 SSEi soon but when I click the link it doesn't work for me :confused:

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into that as soon as I get my editing abilities back. Laptop seems to be MIA :? That sounds like a good feature.

Terribly sorry about the bad link, I forgot to change it from the old domain, its fine now.

Pics are absolutely welcome, be sure just to follow those guidelines.

FINALLY!! For the first time since Feb 9th, the site is now updated! VERY sorry about the long delay, hopefully the cat won't knock over any more glasses of water onto any computers! :lol:

I will try and get a search funtion integrated into it tomorrow. We'll see, also, any more suggestions are always welcome!!! :D

Thanks for the support!

OK! so its been about 8 days since I got my computer back and all is going well. I have added quite a few entries to the catalog, including quite a few that were in new sections, which are the best kind! Its really building up nicely.

Now I believe I've mentioned the idea for posting up specs by year and trim, including gear ratio by trim and such and so on. I will probably start that this next week but it may take a while, I will be testing out a few different styles. I wanted to do something with tables like in wikipedia format, but there is not enough horizontal room on most screens to display it properly. I have also thought about putting all the specs on one page, so that basically becomes the specs section, but that is certainly not integrating it like I wanted to. Any ideas on this? Or should I just post a link on each page leading to the Pontiac Bonneville wikipedia article?

Every bit is helpful! Thanks for all the support. :D

I haven't checked out your site in awhile. I must say, it is coming along nicely and I like the current look and format.

On the specs, although it would take more of your time, I think it would be fantastic if the specs were on your page rather than linking to Wiki. I think your page would be complete that way.

You could have a spec page that groups years together that have basically identical specs, and then in each year indicate any changes in options or equipment or available/discontinued paint colors, etc. from the previous model year.

It would be incedible to have all this cool Bonneville info on yor site for one stop information shopping. Again, very well done so far and I know I appreciate the effort you have put in so far collecting and organizing the information and photos.

So a completely separate comprehensive Bonneville info spec section by year? sounds good. gonna take quite a bit of research. anyone know where i can get info on the available paint and interior color options by year? jees, i might have to be changing my domain to something more general like pontiacbonneville.com or bonnevilles.com :lol:

So thats..

Specs
Info (color options, option list, possibly available accessories?)
Pics (obviously)
asst trivia by year

Well...I was thinking that you could group similar generation Bonnevilles together. Like, 87-91, 92-99, (with notes for 94/95 engine changes and '96 body cladding changes) and 00-05, then list the basic/common specs for all 87-91 years in one place, 92-99 together, then 00-05, rather than duplicating the same information for each individual year. Then, you could list the options, changes and colors for each year for each model, either along with the photo catagories for each year you already have developed, or as a subset of the basic specs. It would be great to click on 1996 (for example) and see that body cladding was changed, new exterior colors are....discontinued colors are....new interior colors....etc.

I know some members have sales literature for many years that would be helpful, but I would assume that many of us here would be willing to help out and we should have all the knowledge needed to come up with the info. I know I would love to help in some way.

Ahh, ok, thats sounding a little more sane :lol: well i will start compiling information

i think techinfo has paint info, now i just need to find interior info.

Any more entries? And it lost sticky status?

It lost sticky status because it sat idle for months with no replies.

I just did a bit of looking over there and it's looking nice. I enjoyed perusing the many excellent pics you have there. It makes for a good record, IMO.

I suspect that after a while, people ignore stickies and newbies often don't see them at all. I don't have an answer as to how to resolve that though.

Good point. Thats ok. I figured it was that.

Thanks for the support guys, and keep the updates comin! :D
