It was good seeing all of you, the day was ok despite a) weather b) not as much attendance as last two AI shows this year.

You have an awful lot of cakes and fruit to down! Pity they can't be kept for the next AI show :yuck:

Yes, if you were the father and son couple.

Yes, it was me who cooked you the burger and owned the black 500 next to you.

I hope you didn't end up falling ill though!

Can someone fix this ashleycomputers rubbish. Seems like a waste of a new server if the forum is gonna run like tar because of duff servers being linked to it.

It was me! I won two large micro fibres, glass cleaner and detailing spray. (All Megs obviously). Just nice to win something! Didn't even know cars were being "judged".

Not to cause any sort of argument but there is nothing wrong with my server and I have always uploaded pics to my own server and linked them into forum's with no troubles at all and never any complaints or posts being chopped short by moderators but I'm guessing the Fiat Forum is huge and since the server change has improved but not immensely. And the the previous poster Please don't finger point without knowing facts. I'll host them on a page on my site on my server and provide a link and I'll try and get that done in the next couple of days.
This my first trip out to a car show with the Fiat Forum please don't dampen this for me.

Regards
Steve

they do make the page take a while to load as they are off site hosted, that is why we have a totally free gallery on site, not only does it keep all the pics together so people can find them again with out having to look through a thread, its makes thread load quicker. what most do is upload to the ff gallery then post 1 or 2 in thread.

Then next year when people who haven't been before ask what is it all about, we can just give them this years gallery link and they can go look at all the photos every one took this year

Hi Dave, I understand when you say save them in the gallery... I totally get where your coming from with the organisational side of things and I'll try that again tomorrow as when I tried it this morning it only uploaded 10 pics and the fiat forum was incredibly slow as I find on most early mornings. I just get a bit fed up with peeps slateing off servers ESP as I'm a reseller of server space and have prime server space, but hey ho you never please them all

 

[ben]

Hey Steve - it's not the offsite hosting that was the problem, it was the amount of images linked in one post. It made it very hard to navigate the thread, as each time a new image loaded, it would scoot you up the page - so would need to scroll back down again

 

[SteveP69]

Thanks Ben, I'll try and get them uploaded into the gallery section later.
