Forum Blog

Going to put this up as a poll, basically, who would be interested in having a full bells and whistles photo gallery up on the site?

Each member can create galleries (sub galleries, sub sub etc.etc.) and upload photos of your car as and when you please, which would all be updated and stored...

 

Grab a smallish photo of yourselves (max 250 x 250 pixels) and tag it to your user profile (it will be uploaded to the server) - thus letting everyone see who they are talking too

(Profile pic is different from avatar, just in case you didn't know)

 

For anyone thats finding the new forum speed slow, please use the link below and paste the output to an answer to this thread (its the info between the horizontal lines that is needed).

If you find it quick, please don't post as it will just confuse things...

 

Might speed things up a bit for some of you guys, when you post / search etc... it will take you directly to the output, avoiding the the 'your search is in progress / thanks for posting screen'.

I quite liked it, but it seems a few seconds faster without it

 

As you may have noticed, there is now a user reputation field associated with each of you. It starts at 10, and goes up when people give you credit, you get another 1000 posts, or stay an extra year.

If what someone says is helpful, please show your appreciation by giving some credit. If its a...

 

Back up in an hour or so, rerunning indexes to try and speed it up.

 

Welcome to the new Fiat Forum... as you may have noticed, everything looks a bit different, but believe me, this is not the only change.

We are now running vBulletin forum software rather than Snitz, which is an infinate improvement, search works for a start!

There's a bit of a learning curve...

 

At around 11pm GMT tonight (Sunday 1/8) the forum will be down whilst all data is transferred to the new forum.

It will hopefully be back up again by about 12:30am GMT.

Well, we've got our new license now
So running a new test of data importing and if all goes ok, the move can go ahead ASAP.

There may be a problem with PM's, so they may not export, however we're trying our best to resolve this...

Also Poll's are playing up, but apart from that, it does...

 

Getting quite a few complaints now about various Snitz bits - tbh i dont think its a host problem, more snitz itself.

I'm therefore looking for an alternative (this is gonna be horrible, i dont even want to imagine the import routines ) - so far vBulletin seems to stick out as one of the...

 

Today i have posted on topics and when it goes back on hone i am signed out - eventhough i look at the active users on the bottom of the page and my name is listed - i feel so unwanted[V]

The FF will be moving to its new server at around 3AM GMT Tomorrow.

So hopefully you won't even notice the change over, but if it does run a bit slower tomorrow, thats cause you're still accessing the old server, but all the data getting dragged from the new one (which will take some time)...

Yes ladies and gentlemen, FiatForum has outgrown its current hosting package and will be moving servers sometime in the next few days.

Hopefully you won't even notice it (maybe a slight speed increase, but we're staying on the same network so wouldn't be major).

What this does mean is, (you'll...

 

Standing back and taking a good look at the site, there's quite a bit that needs to get done, and whilst I'm not going to do it now - I'm putting this list up, so you can see what I gotta go, and I can see too....

Anyone noticed that when u post on the forum, the time of the post is an hour behind??

 

Dear all, a large number of people from here have contacted us hoping for tuning prices for their pride and joys only for us to have to advise them that we couldnt do their car.

Well, after 6 months off painful research we are now in a position to offer remapping services on the following table...
