Default C3 General is open!

This section is now C3 Tech/Performance.

I made this one the Tech section so that all of the good tech topics will be in here and searchable as soon as we get the search working better.

We will be moving General topics to the General section over the course of the day. If you can't find a thread you may want to check over there. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=119

Please give this a shot for a while before you pass judgement. I think that it will work well as we get it worked out.

At least those stupid 'Should we split' polls will stop but when do the 'Should we un-split' polls start? And which section do I post them in?

I think these posts would be more appropiate in the C3 General section

I think the polls like that should go in the C5 section. Or even better off Topic

Great idea. I normally hang out in the C2 forums. Kind of a quite , manageable forum. The last few weeks, I've spent more time in the C3's due to searching and buying my 71. The C3 forum side is very active and busy, barely able to page through and keep up with the threads on a daily basis. The split should help. Lots of good information and help from the members.

I put the links in the sidebar and the dropdown menu. The sidebar link gives you one click access to move between the two sections.
