So, we have published our 3rd edition of Razorback....GD.com's online magazine. We have some pretty big plans for it and want all of you to be a part of it.

I am interested in some feedback. I would like to see some input from readers, and I would like to hear some constructive comments.

There are alot of peeps involved in this project and we have devoted a large portion of our lives towards making it come alive. No person involved in this project does this as a "job" it is a collateral duty for everyone involved. However, I think that our content rates far above what is being published in other "Sand" magazines.

Take time to chat about the mag...gimme some feedback...tell me what you like...tell me what you want to see more of...tell me what you want to read about......Let me know.


Thank you,
Coob

i had a problem. the mag was bigger then the screen top to bottom with no scroll on the right side. soo i could not see the botton of each page.

it crashed my computer 3 times...I run Mozilla Firefox, never saw the mag

Mag settings are 800 x 800....most monitors can handle that.

Perhaps we need to change it to 800 x 600 with more pages???

that was on the work comp. i will try it now here at home

What???

I'll ask JD if he can read it, he is the FireFox wizard

I know that many of the guys who go to the dunes alone would like their families to come along and enjoy it with them. Not all women like the dunes, they're "dirty". I think an article that is written by a woman (or women)that goes to the dunes (and enjoys herself) may be helpful to these stay at home women.

same thing on the home comp coob

Have you read the mag?? Have you read anything from Anna?? She has contributed to every issue......... We want to have a little something for everybody!!!

OK, check your monitor settings. Most can view a 800 x 800 page.....


Thanks for the info.....we will have to change settings

I only read the first issue, I too have been having computer issues.

Looked good to me. Just had one MAJOR innaccuracy though.

I DID not only drive my car back onto the trailer with 3 wheels, but I drove it back to camp too. Damn near put it on its lid, but I drove the sum bitch back cuz there was no way no how I was gonna let Zilla tow me again.

I also tried to open it using Mozilla and it TOOK FOR EVER and then froze... is there a way to view it with out downloading it(like web based)?

Great topics Matt, but couldnt read the bottom of the pages and took way to long to load

I can't see shit. Requires a program I don't have. Using firefox

I had no problems at all looking at it, very nicely done!

Where can I get the paper version????
Be good "reading room" material!

I would say make it two pages wide instead of one.... Check out Sand Addiction's digital edition...

i cant load it either. have no clue why

well it wont work with aoi, but i was able to veiw it with internet explorer

I use firefox and it works fine. I've detached it here, but there is what it looks like on my monitor. Worked fine before I detached it too. It did take some time to download. Going to read it right now....have to say the Hawk sound made me look behind me....had my speakers turned up and wasn't expecting that!!

first 2 issues were cool. i cant get the third one to download. takes forever, then the window its in locks up, brings my sorry azz computer to a halt, until i can get that window to close. tried three times to download #3, same thing every time. have given up for now

I am not sure what the issues are with some of those running Mozilla and firefox. Ill look into it, seems that some are able to view it while running those programs.

As far as the bottom being cut off for some viewers, the mag is currently running 800 x 800 page settings. Monitors can handle this setting, your monitor settings need to be reset to a larger setting. Perhaps, we will try a 800 x 600 page setting.

We are researching new software programs.

There is a lot of really good content in the magazine, I would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to read the articles. I believe that you will find it very interesting and entertaining. There are a few of us that have put countless hours into this project. This magazine is for you, to read and enjoy.

We are not presenting just 'another off-road magazine', we have content for all to enjoy. The magazine is also educational. We feature safety tips, duning tips, Glamis wild life, and history. We cover GD.com events that many of you participate in. We speak to leaders in the industry and bring their companies and products to you to learn about.

We have a great staff that includes some of the best graphics gurus and a professional photographer that brings the action directly to your desktop. While we are always looking for people that are interested in contributing to our magazine, we have several committed individuals on our staff that enjoy submitting articles for you to enjoy.

the 3rd issue is HUGE! There are a ton of photos and other media. It does take a bit to download, I realize that. I dont know what is causing your computer to crash during the download process.

Once you get it downloaded, you can save it so you dont have to download it each time you want to view it.

ok. will give it a shot later on.

GD.com has their own magazine?

Guess I didn't get the memo...

Great stuff Coobie!!! Slaps story about the dumpster diver made me laugh out loud!

Once I got the dang detach the page thingy figured out, I finally got to read it. Pretty good Coob!

Where you been Yoshi, hiding under a rock??


Razorback

yeah, cause it's obvious i'm not one of the members that's here daily.......lol

Two issues in a row with John's car on the cover - bogus man!! You are getting in to a rut already J/K

Format is good - I like the online publication.

I foresee a very good article coming up in the mmmm.... Oct. time frame.

hhhhmmmm, I think you may be right! Got a little something in the works!!

I have no problem with viewing the mag...ya it takes time to download but it's well worth the wait..

Great feedback everybody. We will be looking into getting a version so we can view it much easier. Coob and samplr have been searching like crazy to find online magazine software that would be easier for us. They kept coming up with the same stuff. The digital version? Coobie, Sand Addiction has a slapptacious software and wonderful magazine, maybe we needs to look into something like that. It just ain't right if everybody can't enjoy Razorback.

To all those folks who contributed to this last issue, YOU ARE DOWNRIGHT WONDERFUL. GREAT JOB.

But a big THANK YOU goes to Retodd. That man is a stud and has come through numerous times for us, we can't thank him enough. Great job Retoddster.

COOBIE, YOU IS AMAZING. YOUR HARD WORK AND ENDLESS HOURS FOR US IS PRICELESS

Good job on the mag... Seen two pics of my car and a little write up with Fortin :yay:Maybe I could of been interviewed...Lol

No mention on the GNC #4 guy.

I have a MAC and its not compatible with the safari. anybody have an idea on how I can view it?

Bump..anybody help a brotha out?

My 3 cents since ya asked

Basically the same 2 covers for issues 2 and 3-yawn.
Fortrin article-excellent, very well written and easy to follow. I learned a lot.
fng's article: miracle tape (or whatever it was)-hard to follow, weird grammar, didn't really understand what the product did. maybe I was not in the right mind set?
Slaps article-
Love the sound on the 2nd page of the hawk.
Adopt-a-wash page looks like a small image was made larger-grainy
Need TONS more bikini gal/sand rail pic's!
Witches Eye article-made my butt pucker, no other magazine has done this to me
Can't view it on a mac, with Safari or firefox, need some driver which is not available. Mac users must have Parrels and open it in IE. Was able to view it fine in IE on a normal PC once it loaded.

My last name is not plural!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep up the great work, I know it's not easy!

Thank you drive through!

Woodster.... Mac users need a program called parallels and open it in internet explorer.

You can d/l it for free here...

Thank you very much Mike. I appreciate your feedback, that is what I was looking for.

Thanks for the link coobie.. Ill give it a shot

Great suggestion. I can see that being useful for a lot of guys. For me? My wife likes it dirty....

Your a Mac guy and never used Parallels??
You will have to register it eventually. Think it's $80.

Once you have that installed you will need to install a PC operating system. I suggest staying away from Vista and run XP.

That was perfect mike, thanks for that input brother. You are the man.

Yes.. Works fine..

Except for this error message..

I would like to see an on going article on a womb to tomb build of a mid-budget rail (wish I had the cash to do it), but it would make for a good filler in the mag...

Man I need a new rail for G.

Looks great, the d/l time is worth the wait


Included in the GNC I wish there would have been a article about the Slappy Racing Cooking Team though, 2 people bbq'd for 300 and nobody left hungry, had 2 pasta cookers, and 2 official slicers..

Lets check out the S.R.C.T. next season!!!
