Iīll give the moderators or whoever to explain this situation which have come up on the site. Only a few members seems to have found this site which I believe is an older version or what?
For example Pickems Australia has slept in by 44 members only done pickems...
They had a message in FB that forum was comprehensively hacked yesterday. I don't know if this is permanent solution or what.
OK, Iīm not having FB. This solution seems a bit old to me.
I noticed during the weekend that the former site changed its MMI, before it went out. I thought it was my own settings that had changed, because of many chilldren was visiting us....
Wouldnīt it be good spreading this site on FB? (Those who have FB, that is)

OK, did read and found out whatīs the problem. However finding this forum wasnīt spot on directly. Searching for the old forum didnīt redirect me to this one. Maybe itīs not technical possible. I do believe many rallying fans out there finding themselves alone in the rallying universe without our beloved motorsportforums...
at least for me it redirected here that's how I found it
Keep looking for updates and we have temporary Pickems patch up
Basically someone was out to screw me/us over and they succeeded ;)
This is an old version? I thought it was a forum upgrade ......no wonder I can't do my pickems.......
No it's not an old version. It's many years newer than what we had but it's phpbb instead of vbulletin.Quote:

Would it be possible in the future to see again the list of active topics under rallying subforum like it used to be in the past?
also the previous and next thread of the one we are viewing at the end of the page
Also the Like button was something nice to have.
Like.Quote:

Good luck in getting things sorted mark!

btw good job with the data import, my old ignore list is still working flawless :bounce:
Without like button is better... :colour:
Is it possible to access this new forum platform on mobile? I used the "ForumRunner" app to read the old forum (don't remember how exactly I stumbled upon it), but it's not working anymore with the phpBB platform. Has anyone managed to access this forum on a mobile device?

Forum Runner access is on my list. However you can use Tapatalk in the meantime.Quote:

Also the ability to include large images was good. Mark is there scope to bring some of these features back or is it inherent limitations of phpBB?
+1 i tried to post plenty of fantastic photos,but couldnt at this layout.Images too big. :(Quote:

sorry wrong place!
Some other forums use automatic image resize to a certain width that the admin chooses to be the best for the layout. For the forum here seems to not be wide enough to accommodate decently sized images (approx 1200px +).Quote:

Will it possible to implement something along these lines?
I'm not able to look at it at this exact moment but I'll look at the mod later in the week. Cheers.
I really agree with this. I could see restricting the size if the images were being hosted by the forum, but otherwise a display size with a 'view full size' option would be great.
