Starting from today, I'll be copying the site news from the home page here, so that we can keep a bit of an archive of all the old news.

(It will also give me an excuse to post more frivolous nonsense and get my post count up!)

The new Classified Ads and Links directory modules of the Forums are now up-and-running. However, in order to prevent abuse of these facilities by spammers, any New Member will need to request an upgrade to the Full Members group before they can upload advertisements or links in these new modules.

Any Full Member can of course advertise their custom vehicles for sale anywhere in the World. There are also categories for things like Auto parts and accessories Custom motorcycles, Custom cars, Custom vans, Pick-ups, Trucks, Custom builders and services, Custom parts and accessories and the usual Personal ads and anything else - including miscellaneous ads for anything you want to sell, from your old record collection to the kitchen sink!

All ads in the free Classifieds module can be marked as either "For Sale" or "Wanted"

News update from March 11, 2011:

New software has been installed for the Gallery module of the Forums.


The new software represents the biggest upgrade that the Invision Gallery has ever seen. It has been completely rewritten to modernize the interface and to add better functionality. The cobwebs have been blasted out and there is a slick new interface that never loses sight of what a Gallery should be. Permissions have been simplified and accessibility has been improved to remove the clutter and confusion. (For example, you no longer have to be at the index page for a particular album before you will see the "Upload" link - now it can be found at the bottom of any page in the Gallery.)


Unfortunately, the new Gallery software no longer allows Members to rate their own uploads using the image rating system. (This will not usually be a problem, unless your user-name is "smb!" (It took him several hours to work-out why he could rate some images and not others... Duhh!!)

The Forums and associated modules, (with the exception of Classifieds and Links,) have recently had their software updated to the latest versions available from Invision Power Services.

Unfortunately, the Classifieds and the Links modules are not compatible with the new Forums software and these modules have been temporarily disabled.
