Chesterfield

He smells like rump steak?

Im sure this is a possibility, will have to look into it if/when we create the area.

Yes - info on latest tricks etc being used would be useful - but obviously we have to be aware of not making these awareness notices resemble a "how to nick a car" type guide. General info rather than specific details is the key. Or indeed if the police have advice on how to prevent a certain type of theft, then that would be good.

No, I understand what you mean - it just doesnt work on my version of i.e (which is also version 6). It works on firefox, which is what I use, but I do try to check things on i.e also just to make sure that any changes dont act differently on various systems. Not that I wouldnt be grateful of you whispering sweet nothings down the phone at me mike.

Not wanting to appear a kill joy or some sort of draconian moderator, but Im not personaly a fan of these avatars. Do try to remember people will read these forums at work. Avatars like these may prevent them from doing so.

doesnt on my i.e

None of the above. This is still a forum that can be viewed by a family audience.

how did you get it to work on i.e?

1) Jacko 2) M13KYF 3) Chesterfield

It appears that this is not working for internet explorer users - can anyone back up my testing and state if this feature is working or not under IE? Also I have had reports of the forum not displaying correctly when you are not logged in. I cannot replicate this however, can anyone else spot any errors when viewing the forum without logging in?

Actually - a pictur on the site: http://sokaisha.hp.infoseek.co.jp/030923/030923.htm States that he died 26th sept 2003. I just spent a good ten minutes looking at all the pictures thinking how much fun he must have had with that rabbit, and how much h must have loved that little thing - then I got to that one and found out it died 3 years ago, and I almost cried! God I must be turning into a woman.

It is done.... So? What do people think? I could make it optional based on template if people dont like it. i.e. if you want it, you have to set your template as "350z-uk with preview popups" or such like?

You may be about to.

Can I make a suggestion in the suggestions forum. Anyone making a suggestion, can they include a poll too - with "I would like this implementing" and "I would NOT like this implementing" and "Im not bothered either way". That way, everyone can add to the overall opinion without needing to post up... Ill ammend the first post in this thread.

Can anyone explain this??

From a news article back in 2001...... And the car this copper was driving when he acheived an even faster speed? A vauxhall Vectra GSI. Which would you rather crash in at that speed? Is there any wonder that the public can't abide the police when it comes to traffic policing, and would rather lend a match to those burning speed cameras than report them for vandalism. We are told time and time again, and have the message of "speed kills" rammed down our throats. Yet this chap got off first time around for being the "creme de la creme" of police drivers.. And? Is anyone elses driving ability used when deciding on whether to prosecute after setting a camera off?

Dont ask. I still dont get it.

My advice would be to take it to the dealer. If you try taking it to bits and cant fix it, if the dealer sees you have "had a go", they could wriggle out of doing the work. Although I know what you mean about a quick fix. Id rather try and fix things myself first before letting stranger loose with a screwdriver inside my car.

Ah yes - that reminds me - the bunny & pancake smiley is on the to do list... You know I really must write this "to do" list down!

This is how I beleive it works.... If your odometer reading when the car was converted was 8500 - this was KM. Therefor 5281 miles. From this point onward it clocks up in miles, so... 14500 minus the original 8500 equals 6000. These 6000 are actual miles. The first 8500 are km, (5281 miles). So your true mileage = 5281 + 6000 = 11281.

Just another update on this one - Ive just made some improvements to this code. Previously (after my brute force code above) the "Mark all forums read" option was available on any set of serach results. i.e. if you serached for engine bay, and you had 12 results, some of which were unread - the option to mark all forums read was visible - some people may have clicked this believing it would only mark those results as read, when in actual fact it would mark ALL forums read - regardless of whether they were in your set of search results of not. The changes I have just made now only makes the "mark all forums read" option visible when you have clicked "view unread posts" - therefore showing ALL your unread posts. When conducting a normal search, this option will not be available at the top of the results in order to avoid people accidentaly marking all their unread items as read.

Sadly - I think he will "get off" too. Probably a stern rollocking from the Cheif and a demotion away from traffic, but that will be the end of it. As far as I am aware, police cars arent allowed to break the speed limits without having their flashing lights on at least? The number of cop cars Ive followed that have been doing well over the speed limit is quite staggering. Ive seen many do anything up to 40 in a 30.

He daren't jack it in, in fact theres more chance of having a pee in the queens handbag than Val leaving! You should have seen the feathers fly when we were messing around with the site security and I "accidentaly" removed Vals admin rights.

That sounds like a great Idea - no problem in posting up in th news section if a members car goes missing, or indeed if there are any scams we should be aware of. There certainly seems to be a few Z scams on Ebay at the moment! I hope your car turns up and thats its in a decent state. I had a car nicked once, and looking back Im glad they gutted it, as I dont think it would have ever been the same, knowing it had been stolen. Hope it gets sorted quickly for you.

The big surprise is being worked on by the fat lazy man Just he had a little too much to do over the weekend to spend the time trying to finish it! I know, Im a let down.... trust me though its still coming, and it will be great.
