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.

Posted 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

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 -

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 22:45 by ben - 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 -
