I've never really been happy with the header in the registry entries. Well I decided to work on a new style and have a tests entry here
http://www.warbirdregistry.org/p51registry/test.html

Let me know what you think before I start changing 30K+ files ;)

I like the improvement, Scott.

Soon I'll have a ton of updates/improvements for your Mustang files (only with the Cavalier aircraft, though!).

Thanks Randy.

Also, I am testing out a new system for the gallery images below the main image. Does this seem to work okay for everyone?

Holding the cursor over an image enlarges it without clicking on it? Yeah, it worked fine for me when I was looking at the page.

Yeah, it allows you to see the image without having to a) Click on an image and then have to hit the back button or 2) click on an image to open another window, then have to close it or 3) opening a pop-up window and having to close it. I think it will be easier and smoother navigation.

My Vote is Yes...to all your questions.

Enjoy the "roll over w/image pop-up".

Thanks for your careful work

Green is a little tough on the eyes, but I love the header!

What code did you use to perform the pop-up of the thumbnails?


Thanks!

I like the tabs on the top as well as the photos enlarged via the cursor. I think it is a great enhancement!

Scott,

New design is great.

How difficult would it be to put a small thumbnail or link that opens the picture up, beside the names of the the former owners of a certain airframe with a picture of the airplane as it was painted in the past? My AD5 has had 3 different paint schemes over the years and I have good pics of it in each. I would imagine there are many other owners who have the same.

It may be to much work, but it would show an interesting evolution on a number of air frames.

I have the same for my Yale ( I even have pics of it in pieces on Ernie Simmons' farm) and my T6 as well.

Keep up the great work, thanks for all you do.
