The FIAT Forum - New Features

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.

New Features

Select Text to Quote

Small new feature here, but you can now select text in a post and a little menu will pop-up to the right, allowing you to quote just that part.

So you can go through a whole page, selecting bits you like, then down at the bottom they will be ready quoted for you

Doesn't work on mobile (yet) - but I'll see if I can get that sorted.

Subscription Notifications

Posted 17-10-2018 at 13:42 by ben (A day in the life of the FIAT Forum)

A very useful feature just added (thanks to @QuadrifoglioVerde for the idea) is the ability to use the notification bar up the top to let you know about new subscription alerts.

If you wanted to know, but didn't like getting emails (or like emails, but wanted a visual indicator too) then this has now been solved for you.

The "Notification Center" (blue box at the top right of the screen) now has a count of "New Subscribed Posts",...

Mobile Site Redesign

Posted 21-05-2015 at 19:38 by ben (A day in the life of the FIAT Forum)

The mobile site has long been the ugly brother of the main site, it was a simple drop in skin I picked up years ago and never bothered with since.

Well I had some time recently to dedicate to it and am happy to say it's had a new look and been brought all up to date

I've re factored all the images to make them as small as possible, stripped out un-needed CSS and Javascript and got it running as lightweight (whilst still looking nice) as possible

Members Motors Hall of Fame

Posted 19-04-2015 at 15:35 by ben (A day in the life of the FIAT Forum)

Seems I've had a busy little week, firstly we got the cool wall going which then gave me the idea for the MM leaderboard.

So I'm happy to announce that it's done

And here it is!

It's based on the "like count" for the first post in each Members Motors thread. So when making your threads, make sure it's the first post that is really interesting

At the moment, the top vehicle only has 16 likes - so there's plenty of opportunity...

Behold - the Cool Wall!

Posted 16-04-2015 at 12:06 by ben (A day in the life of the FIAT Forum)

Yes hurrah and all that, we now keep the memory of Top Gear alive but announcing that we, the FIAT Forum, do now have our very own Cool Wall

It's pretty simple - you go to the new "Cool Wall Forum" (http://www.fiatforum.com/cool-wall/) - place your votes, then every 15 mins the wall automatically updates itself

The wall can be found here -> http://www.fiatforum.com/coolwall.php

And if you want to get your (or just any) model added,...
