Hi Guys,

Ok, a lot of you are unhappy about the new forums, so hers a quick FYI for you

1. New styles are coming, I'll enable the use of the 'stock' style in the meantime, might make it easier.

2. IPB2 is a quicker forum package than VB, sure some options have been removed but I am working hard on getting them back

3. Please be patient, and document any problems/ideas etc in this thread of forum.

The VB smilies are coming soon, check your CP for options for the quick reply, you each have a blog now and I am working on a garage/timeslips registry + the trader ratings again.

If you are having problems with permissions, send me an email.

Christian

Mass updated everyones user accounts to GMT+10, so that should fix the problem for *almost* everyone.

This has been updated to be enabled by default for every forum now!

Lots of silly little problems, but in the end everything will be much better. The forum could have been kept offline for a longer period until everything was 100% but it's best to have it online I think!

Site seems to be pretty good..

One of the only things i miss though is when you used to hover your mouse over the topic title. it would come up with like the first paragraph or so of that post.

I thought that was a great addition and made surfing the forums much quicker :)

Either way. i think once everything is finished it will be better than the old one :)

hehe. *my 2 cents

I second that. It made browsing much quicker.

Also, people's location should be compulsory, especially useful in the trading section.

Hi Guys,

Hi Christian - I suspect you are busy!

Is the 'stock' style something we have to pick (I couldn't find anything in the control panel) or is that what we are using?

If you need help testing styles etc, I'm happy to help.

Ian

ps As a rough rule of thumb, just about no web site works with a very dark background as the contrast with most colors - except white and yellow - doesn't work, with green and blue particularly bad...

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
