Awesome guys, I am trying to keep up with the ideas. Heres a quick update;

Google search has been implemented to run alongside the standard search so people can pick and choose which one they would like. (click 'Search' up the top)

Help Desk has been implemented, I will not be listing the support email address on the forums, all support with have to go through the Help Desk (I cannot tell you how many emails I used to get).

I will be building a new profile system for members which will include a blog and random images from users' members' galleries and also a bunch of other stuff. So that the 'profile' can actually be info about the user.

I am sorry if I have not responded to everybody, I am still going through. :)

That google search must not index much, or will it compile its own index overtime and cache it?

I done a couple of searches, google returned nothing, the onsite search returned heaps of applicable threads.

It seems useless, sorry to sound so negative.

I love this site but find it a little hard to 'cut to the chase' - it's a little daunting moving around this site & finding what you're really looking for...I'm not too experienced with forums & the internet in general, so it could just be me...It's quite hard to keep up with events & cruises going on & I often miss out coz I'm a little slow on the uptake...

Just thought I'd have a say...

RB30-POWER - takes 24hrs to index, so its not 'real time' like the VB site search.

fastRgal - I am writing up a wiki for the site use with instructions, tips etc, should be very useful once its done. :cheers:

a two week wait is nothing. on Overclockers Australia they've banned all free e-mail accounts like yahoo, google, hotmail etc... as well as a 90 day waiting period. While it may not solve all issues the amount of scams and stuff has dropped significantly. They just now run into issues like excessive bumping and stuff.

Please don't implement this idea. I use gmail as my email and the ban on free email accounts is why I barely use OCAU. I have another email address, but I can only check it from certain machines. Gmail is with me everywhere which is why I no longer need or even want POP accounts. If SAU was to follow OCAU here, I'd probably give up posting here since I couldn't have the reply notifications sent to me.

Hey Mic, thats not going to happen, its cool. I personally travel around a lot and before I got a laptop I could only use free email accounts to check mail, so I know what its like.

I have a suggestion and its a bit hard to explain so bear with me.

When i post a reply on this site I end up located at the bottom of the page of the thread that I posted in and have to scroll up to get to the site nav bar to get back to the forum that I posted in (its the way I found quickest as I tried having the thread order reversed and its not my style)

My suggestion is to have a second nav bar at the bottom of thread pages, theres room there above forum jump ( which I find a bit of a hassle )

It a lazy mans suggestion I know but if it improves user experience it could be worth a try.

Also on the PM send message action you have a popup asking for confirmation OK/Cancel I feel it would less confusing as YES/NO

And CHEERS to a good site!!

Is it me or is the writting just really really really SMALL!?

Is there anyway of making the layout the same as before? in terms of the colour scheme?

because this one is very bad on my eyes :P

also we need a quick reply box!

how do u change colour scheme? the default one sux balls, and also this new look is pretty crap, everything was fine before u did this other than the search tool.oh and i think the time when posted is screwed, thats my feedback

Reducing the size from 200 to 100 PM's is not going to work for me. I get as many as 30 PM's in one day. By the time I respond the 100 is gone in a couple of days. Can I please have 200 back than you.

:O

Is it possible to change the font and size and maybe colour scheme?

This default layout is a real pita and extremely difficult to see and follow.

With other boards i can usually choose an alternative scheme down the bottom of the board home page, but i can't see an option on this board?

Help is appreciated.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned however it would be good if the 'Topic Reply' notification emails contained the thread title in the subject of the email (like with the old vBulletin).

Saves having to open/read 30 emails a day to find that 20 of them are all about the same thread.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
