All the minor and major updates that go on with the forum so that we don't require a new "Whats New" thread all the time.
Do you wanna be in our gang?

Well, believe it or not, I think I've finally found a good use for the social groups!
They will now be used as a "Register" of sorts, to see who has what
If you scroll to the bottom of a model forum, you'll now see a new box which lists a random lot of 10 people who are also "Members".
So - to get yourself in the list, click the link in the title of the new box, then click "Yes" when it asks for confirmation
Over time, this will allow us to build an accurate picture of who drives what - also giving us the ability to contact groups of model owners directly (for photo shoots as an example) - rather than posting a thread and hoping people read it.

I think you're already in the relevant groups
Going to refine the joining part a bit, maybe tomorrow, so you can join directly from the forum page.Posted 05-12-2013 at 05:51 by ben - Ok, made it much easier - if you're not already in the group, it will automatically fill in the joining linkPosted 05-12-2013 at 14:41 by ben
- Got it! Just joined the Panda 2012 group. It's lonely in there.
when I now scroll to the bottom, it still says "no one in the group"
Scrub that, seems to take a few minutes (10) to update.Posted 05-12-2013 at 21:55 by deeyup
Updated 05-12-2013 at 22:17 by deeyup - Yeah, cache updates every 10 mins - keeps database load downPosted 06-12-2013 at 05:42 by ben
- Ok, updated all that - it now refreshes instantly - and put a nice picture here too so you can see what I'm talking aboutPosted 07-12-2013 at 05:54 by ben

Problem with the Panda (Classic) group...?
I'm getting this message when I try to 'join' the classic Panda group:
homeward, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:
...and I own three of the things...!
Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.
Had no problems with the Panda or Punto Mk2/b groups, though....Posted 07-12-2013 at 08:54 by homeward - This is very strange - can you confirm the link that you're trying to go to is : http://www.fiatforum.com/group.php?do=join&groupid=6
That error usually means you are already in the group, but I see you aren't....Posted 07-12-2013 at 09:01 by ben - Ah no wait! I see the problem - you were the original moderator for that group, so when I did the switch over - it went all squiffy.
There will be a few more issues like that with other users - but yours is now sorted

Ben, are the Abarth 500 and Fiat 500 in the same group?Posted 07-12-2013 at 17:29 by grimwau - Hello all, I'm new to the forum. I live in Kensington, CT and this morning I bought a 1975 Fiat Spyder convertible. I'm in my 60s and have owned many old cars but never a Fiat, so I have much to learn. Given the model I have, where on the site would you suggest be a good place to begin?Posted 07-12-2013 at 18:33 by RedSpyder

This new group system, at the bottom of the cinq forum,
It says:
"These members all own cinquecento/seicentos - if you do too, click here to get yourself listed!" But when I click it, it says:
"Razman, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:"
I've read the reasons and I don't really apply to either.
[petergriffin] What's going on here? [/petergriffin]
I believe this is the same problem as homewards.Posted 08-12-2013 at 22:06 by Razman - OK! I was just confused that when I clicked on the A500 one there were loads of people I didn't recognise and when I clicked on the 500 one there were three A500 owners listed in the pics at the top, RUI. Chas and myself.Quote:Originally Posted by ben No - separate. Every forum has its own groupPosted 09-12-2013 at 08:22 by grimwau
- Ok! Found the issue - it was due to having requested to join the group before, but not been authorised yetQuote:Originally Posted by Razman This new group system, at the bottom of the cinq forum,

I've now batched everyone in - so that issue shouldn't happen for anyone againPosted 10-12-2013 at 09:17 by ben - Also added a link to the right hand side (two people icon) which allows you to see how many people are in the group without needing to join itPosted 10-12-2013 at 12:37 by ben
- Just done this - it was easy peasy..Posted 17-12-2013 at 19:42 by EvoStevo
