With regards to file uploads, am I right in thinking that the user has to manually edit the file size before they can upload? Looks like the forum will resize as it sees fit in terms of resolution, but it won't alter the actual size in MB/KB/Kb of the picture. Not a complaint, more an observation to make sure I understand it correctly.

Any way to view all members? I can see the option to view online members, but not all.

I have no argument with that one Graham

Indeed, apparently it makes you Canadian

Aaaaaand we're back. Consider this a test post.

It's all glued ally and stuff. Once buckled or torn you can never repair it back to original strength like a steel one.

Can you imagine?! It'd be like giving a fat kid a room full of Maltesers and expecting him not to eat any: I'd be deleting stuff all over the place!

Exactly. Plus you need a brand new chassis, which is much like the Elise's in construction, and once that's gone it's gone. No chance in hell I'd want a car like that with a repaired chassis, it's new or nothing at that point. Besides, I'd rather have a 67 plate car than a 17 one, be worth more innit.

Which assumes that I don't think that the forum hosting photos is a good thing. It's a very good thing, not only because it's free to me but also because it's not me in charge of policing it

When I'm in charge, things will be very different.

OH NO YOU DIDN'T

I don't fancy subsidising the terminally stupid If the club has spare cash to do storage then great, but how do you police it so people don't take the mick? I don't know the answer, hence why it's better/easier just to let everyone sort out their own as has been done for the last 11 years.

Sorry mate, I'm in one of those moods this morning Really looking forward to this now, was chatting with a guy from SELOC regarding the museum and they've a lot more stuff in there than I thought. Thrust SSC for example, would love to see that.

I've no idea tbh. What about the M240i? I hear they're okay.

Not the forum's fault, it's the fault of individual users. Don't get me wrong, I use PB too so will have to start using my own hosting more, but I think it's unfair to lay any blame here. If people only uploaded the odd photo here or there it'd be fine, but people (not here in particular) have been spamming the crap out of it with hundreds of thousands of hi-res images.

^^^ This. If people spam Imgur in the same way then they'll soon do the exact same thing as PB and lock up shop.

Not sure on that, sounds a bit dry to me.

I've a great idea! Why not take a look at the M240i? Why didn't I think of this sooner?!

Is there an echo in here?

Why should PB offer unlimited free storage? They're a business after all, and with the proliferation of ad-blockers they don't get any revenue from that side either. It's been coming for years, and with people taking the p*ss and uploading hundreds or thousands of pics it was never a sustainable business model. That said, their costs are simply ridiculous. You can get your own hosting for less.

Is it not still under warranty? If it was, that would only apply to the previous owner as the purchaser of the work. Unless specified, warranty is not transferable.

Jeez, that's desperately unlucky, what happened? No odd noises or anything on the test drive?

As soon as he makes the assumption that God created the stars, it kinda debunked itself. It's a pattern found for the sake of a pattern. It means nothing at all. Given the Bible has been translated and re-translated so many times, much of what is believed to be written then had a very different meaning. Solar eclipses aren't all that rare either, in the grand scheme of things. Above all, what makes this prediction different from the others? Nothing at all, because they didn't come true and neither will this.

You mean the M240i, already mentioned twice?

I keep seeing Jag XKs (X150) on the roads and thinking to myself "I really like the look of those, more power than mine too, maybe... Nah, just look at how big they are! That's just silly!" and then I sit there and realise I'm in my car and that mine is no smaller in the slightest
