Google ads are no longer shown in the top banner - it is now exclusive for official FF advertisers - making way for some bigger and better things for you guys

 

Set alignments on the boxes in the classifieds search on the homepage - looks much smarter now

 

Classifieds now accepts (though cannot use) full UK postcodes, so it doesn't matter which you type, it will format them correctly for you.

US Zipcodes now fully supported - for all (3 - lol) of our American members

 

You might notice some ads appearing (and disappearing) in various places over the next few days, this is due to the server costs finally taking their toll on my wallet, so need a way to try and recover some of them.

Guests get a (not so nice) square banner at the top now, though this goes when...

 

Long overdue I know, but clothing has now been sorted out and is available for purchase RIGHT NOW from the online shop!

Sorry there aren't actually photos up of each item, but we haven't ordered them all - so don't have items to photo I will be contacting people who make orders asking...

 

In an effort to make them easier to find, the forum rules now have their own page: https://www.fiatforum.com/rules.html

We're also now rolling out the infraction system (details can also be seen on the rules page). Hopefully this will kerb the accusations of moderator power tripping as...

 

After a week of testing, I'm happy to say the blogging section is now live (see link at the top).

If you do any work on your car, that doesn't really warrant a thread, or if you just want to keep a dated report on any projects you are doing (where people can leave comments, like, well, a blog)...

 

Inserting your gallery uploads in now a breeze thanks to the new "Popup insert".

Once you have the images in your gallery, when using a New Thread or Reply feature, have a look under the smiley box and you will see "My Gallery Pics".

Click the [Open] link and all your gallery items will appear -...

 

Updated VBSEO to the latest RC which has fixed a few small bugs here and there, no extra features, but should solve a few of the time outs.

 

Another minor update gone through to make the classifieds now pretty much complete.

After a shake up the other week, the wanted section was split by model (to bring it in line with it's "For Sale" brother) - so if you are looking for any parts for your beloved, now is a great time to get them...

 

Welcome people to your new home

What are you talking about I hear you say? Well, we'd come to notice as of late the forum has started to crawl - a victim of our own success you might say - and something had to be done

Well, as of yesterday - we moved into our new home, a nice friendly...

 

In preparation for the move to the new server, the gallery and attachments system will be disabled so the data can be moved across (a 20 hour or so upload!)

Obviously if it wasn't disabled, it could keep changing, so wouldn't be up to date on the new system.

Expect it back around Wednesday

 

Well with the success of the temp shop, we have now got the software for a shop on this site.

People can only order using paypal, any problems or you want to send cheques then please PM me - but paypal is much easier all round.

anyway the link is https://www.fiatforum.com/shop

Part one of the FF Spring Clean (Winter Clean?) is done, with the classifieds being the first to get the "beautification" treatment.

• Postcode distance searching now works, and is listed on the category listings (so no need to load each one up to see how far it is)

• Product...

 

** TO ANYONE WHO USES IMAGES IN THEIR SIGS **

You can no longer link to external images (or indeed internal images .. lol) as all signature images must be uploaded with the new "sig uploader" (works in the same way as the profile pictures and avatars).

In the control panel, under signatures...

 

THIS COMPETITION NEVER ENDS!! SO KEEP SUBMITTING THEM TO BE IN WITH A CHANCE FOR A TENNER!

Yes, it's competition time folks!!

Now, as it's christmas and everyone has time off, what better time than to work on your car - right?

Well, why not work on your car AND make some...

 

:woot:

Pleased to say we are now running on vb3.6, which brings tons of fixes and quite a few new features to you all, including the incredibly useful "Multiquote", allowing you to tag a number of messages and have them all quoted into one.

There's actually loads of stuff, but even I am not...

 

It all just got easier

Now every event added must have its Multimap location filled in (so as to work with the events map) - but in true FF style, this has been made as easy as possible.

On the events input screen, in the MM field there is a link - click this and you will be taken to...

 

Wooo... next major milestone reached... Boeing1769, this one's for you

 

And if I say so myself it RAWKS

I don't want to spoil the suprise, so I'll let you click the "Events" link at the top of the page.

There may be bugs (quite likely, I'm rather tired), in which case please report here, and any new ideas also welcome

Go me
