Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into the Search function and see if it can be improved. 

On mobile version:

Go to members profile. 

There are 3 buttons underneath their pic

Click on the right one that looks like a newspaper. 

That links to everything posted by that member. 

(I'm working at the moment so can't check thoroughly as to whether that covers the full archive).

The main search function of the forum does search the entire archive now. So using that should get you want you need. 

Hi Steve. Drop me a PM with Z clubs plans/ideas and we'll help in whatever way we can

Speak to Jurgen at JM Imports. He'll keep you right on all questions. 

If there are any other residents with the same issue you can band together and use https://www.flashpark.co.uk/HowitWorks.aspx

Obviously we can debate the whole "can't enforce private tickets " until the cows come home. But the thought of it may be enough to put most people off parking there. 

All updated and complete.

Please note that some of you will have to rechoose your background image from the 4 we made available. Unavoidable I'm afraid.

Evening all. 

There will be some pre planned downtime and slowdown periods this evening whilst we work behind the scenes on some general maintenance.

You know which three of you I am talking to when I say this:

Leave it. 

You're never gonna see each other's point of view. And whilst you have so far kept things civil it is getting boring seeing you going round and round in circles. 

Anyone who knows me will know which side I chose in the EV vs IC debate, and it is difficult not to take sides. So for once this is me being diplomatic. 

I'm not even sure how we start to replace all 6ft 7in of you!

You've been a true stalwart of the Team and we wouldn't be the club we are without your help over the years.

I don't Thi k they're Oz wheels. Just Oz centre caps. 

They look like a BBS knock off. 

As said above - start sending your CV (with a well written cover letter) to just about anyone you think would suit your current skill set. 

My outfit keep a huge stack of CVs on file that they pick from. We never advertise externally. 

Need to do some tinkering, but normal member should be able to input events into the calender. 

My Apologies if I seemed upity yesterday. I've just came off the back of a stressful 3 weeks on the boat and when I came here to catch up I (naturally) get hyper defensive of what I worked and helped to create. 

It is extremely disappointing to read that some members don't like our new set up, as a significant amount of time was put into developing and finding a modern and fresh look. 

My frustration is mainly at the trivial points some people say is the reasoning they don't visit as much any more. Because they are trivial. 

@marzman I will look into addressing your particular "flaw" when I get chance (unfortunately this will likely be 10-14 days due to family life).

Also if members really want a "different" look, then please find a suitable skin that you think would work and then PM me so we can discuss. Please remember though that skins are not free. 

Apologies in advance for the bluntness of this post. 

You use this forum free of charge. The Team work hard behind the scenes and on the front to provide the best service we can whilst maintaining the viability of a community that costs a significant amount every year to run for you all.....for free. 

Few people like change, but that's what we have. Like it or not this is what you have for at least the near future. 

My kids are off school and I'm on leave and for once the weather is nice. So I'm taking some time out to appreciate the things that matter in life. 

Click on them before submitting the post. They'll open in a new window and you'll know if they work

I trialled a floating menu when we were setting up and it was clunky and caused issues with the mobile version. 

If/when I get time I will look at it again. 

(Ps t shirts will be in post tomorrow - I'm just back from sea).

Big, big plus is the ease of adding pictures now.

 

Great times....

 

Whilst I have largely got use to the new format and yes there have been a few frustrations along the way as you find with any tech changes, we do have to remember that the forum is run on peanuts as it always been the priority not to charge membership fees or have the pages riddled with ads.  So it is down to those volunteers who have IT skills to do their best in their own time to keep things going and up date with such limited resources.  

 

Hats off to you all in the team who have played a part in keeping the forum going which was in danger of being taken out altogether by malious actions of those who have nothing else better to do than spoli others enjoyment.

 

But I will take opportunity to ask if a preview pane is availble before posting replies, as it just seems you get the "Submit Reply" only and before posting I miss the opportunity (in particular) to see that links work as expected?

 

Edit! And correct spelling mistakes....opps

 

 

 

The reply box is it's own preview pane. 

Provided your link starts with http then the link is active in your reply box and is clickable. 

Same with pics and formatting. All show up as they will when posted.

I'd said it in one of the early threads... the killer for me is the way posts are displayed in the main view - such as 'LRF4N replied to gsexr's topic in Off Topic Discussion.'

 

I really dislike having to read a full sentence to see who's thread it is, and what section it's in.  This info used to be in columns in all previous forums.  The eye is drawn to LRF4N so you think it's his thread, and I find it's a lot harder on the eye to filter out the stuff I don't want to read.  e.g. Introductions & Welcome Messages i'm really not bothered about reading, but i now have to read the thread title and the sentence below to see who posted it and what section its in.

 

I work in software and our company produces eCommerce websites, and i get involved in UX (User Experience) a lot, and I wouldn't want this flaw on one of our sites.

 

I've never logged on via mobile or tablet either so that doesn't benefit me... i'm a dektop user only

I wouldn't describe it as a flaw. Just a different way of displaying information. 

Some like it, some don't. 

If those others who have said they aren't finding it good to use could give some information on what it is they don't like then we can look into it. 

As we mentioned before though, the forum simply could not go on in its previous state. We were mere weeks away from in all likelihood losing the forum completely. 

Our software provider radically changed their product which meant that our previous skins were not compatable with the upgrade, and of those member of the Team that do have the skill set to create skins from scratch, all were extremely busy with their real world lives. 

I am looking into introducing a basic skin (essentially a low bandwidth skin) sometime in the coming months if work/home free time allows. 

Also got a performance tweak of our current skin to install one night this week. 

PM @MITZ@CougarStore on here.
