All the posts titles are far too small to read for me at the moment.
Also, are you able to make it so that you can read a preview of the thread by hovering your mouse over the title like we could do before the change?

They're all OK for me on the Rallying part of the forum but they weren't yesterday so its being fixed I'm sure!
It looks like they've changed the implementation of that. So it works in IE8 but not for me in Firefox.Quote:

Testing the same theory and using quick reply vs going advanced. Some I'm just typing a bunch of nonsensical trash while trying to help figure it out. Anybody reading this can just disregard.
Maybe it's the quotes or maybe Mark already fixed it. I know I'm not imagining it as several posts show the "narrow" format.Quote:

Have you already fixed something regarding the format in the form of the overall text area within the box? I've noticed on some threads that the text takes up only about half the available width of the text entry area. (See Pinos post #41 above) I thought it had something to do with quick reply vs advanced, but I just tested that theory and both came out ok, along with a quoted message.
Space reserved for adverts!
Does anyone else have issues with "Go to first unread post" button? It doesn't seem to work for me, it just takes me to the beginning of that particular thread, or in some cases the last post, even though I've not ready some that preceed it.
I've often thought that it would be nice if the forum didn't automatically mark everything as read once you log out. I don't know if vBulletion has this option, but other forums I frequent use software that does this. It's useful if you can't read all the new posts at one sitting - you know where you left off next time you visit.
I had a little look at motorsport.com today to see if there were still any members missing there...

I wasn't expecting that! :o
Ha ha, they let me log in fine..and I called them all a bunch of c***s :DQuote:

Well that backfired fairly quickly.Quote:

Feel free to take their survey! :D
I have had problems logging in from my home; when I try and go to the front page, even after having deleted all cookies and so on, a message comes up saying there is something wrong with my IP address. No problems now from an hotel in Sweden, though!
I did it this morning :hmph: ;)Quote:

Looks like they are banning anyone who dares to suggest they may have acquired their forums by less than honest means!

Mark, would it be a good idea for people to NOT log into the rebel forums at all? Who knows whether they're capturing passwords perhaps?
Given their recently behaviour I wouldn't put it past them to do such a thing!
Is it also possible that they're a bunch of ****s?Quote:

I was just about to mention that it would be advisable for people to change their password here in the light of what has happened.Quote:

Surely, since they have made a copy without permission, we as users at least have the right to have all the details they hold on us removed.
Yes. I believe that you can request that any and all information on you is deleted
I was thinking exactly the same thing - however since I've been banned I'm essentially no longer able to control my own information - despite the fact it still exists in a publicly viewable profile. My website, posts, interests and so on are still listed on the website.
Now, given their lack of a licence and so on, surely that cannot be legal.
I would like to remove my profile - having a ban is preventing me from doing so.
Maybe I should speak to my lawyer about this.
Are you aware of any particular channels to do this?Quote:

Looks like they've been on another banning spree. Brave Dockman and Alright Treacle have been taken out and shot! Harsh!
Ah Brave Dockman, didn't he run of with Susy and start a pub up with her? ;p
I get the feeling Caroline might be the next to be banned! :p
Wonder if I'll be far behind :D The dopey tard doesn't seem to know how to delete threads as yet so I've pretty much vandalised all the decent forums :D
I'm banned but Caroline isn't! ****s!!!!! :D
It is pretty amusing to see a thread consisting almost entirely of banned members...Quote:

Caroline didn't get banned :mark: Not quite sure what thunderbolt is playing at?
Mark, are you still getting the e-mail as forum administrator? Like Andy I want to have my details removed (it's got my name, DOB, e-mail etc.) but didn't think of this until after I'd been banned and now I'm not quite sure how to do it.
No I'm completely locked out of those forums, except as a guest. They didn't just ban me, they deleted my account, just to be sure!Quote:

That's funny **** :laugh:Quote:

It would be in their own interests to start a new forum from scratch get their own membership base and compete fairly.
If you post in enough threads saying that they're ****s or that motorsport.com is run by ****s they'll delete you :D It's happened to me :laugh:Quote:

Do not enter your username and password when prompted. Instead you can avoid the risk by selecting the Forgotten Password link on that forum (not this one!) and follow the prompts to reset it. Once you've been sent a new password from MS.C forums, use that to login there.
Once in, before posting anything to get banned, go to User CP and progressively work through the sections down the left-hand side - signature, e-mail and password, profile, etc etc. Delete the details in the boxes. Don't seem to be able to edit date of birth for some reason. To delete your e-mail address you will need to change it to something incorrect. Please do not enter something here that could be (or end up being) a valid e-mail address for someone else. I'm not sure if the e-maill address change will stick as you cannot confirm it because you won't receive the link by e-mail to do so. Also, if you plan on contacting them, it may be better to leave your e-mail address intact.
Don't forget to delete your Private Messages.
These steps will remove most of the information. Provided you haven't been banned already and can't get in.
Now I will read back through this thread and find that lot has already been posted!
sod the avatars.. where's my flag ? :p :DQuote:
