I hardly use the forum now....

Ruined with adverts!

So annoying.

I appreciate you need funding etc but the set up is terrible!!
Should be better now, there's only two adverts. Revenue is terrible though. Might need to go down the paid membership route to disable ads.

"It's not you, it's me" 🤣🤣. I had to disable it because it broke during the upgrade. Will try to take a look today 👍

So be it, I'd come at that but not if the platform was onsold to Tapatalk or some other multinational group. Another local group did just that after the admin plain ignored offers to pay a sub and now Tapatalk has banners asking for donations!!! Other than selling our soul to another data mining group, where is the benefit?

The benefit is someone walks away with some cash and doesn't need to worry about it ever again... There's a lot involved in running this site and it doesn't pay a wage. Would I sell RS246? Sure, for the right money but I've rejected all the low ball offers I've had over the years and I don't need the cash, so you're safe :beerchug:

I'm closely monitoring what our Tapatalk integration does as I don't trust them and I'm already taking measures to remove the integration if things become overly biased towards them.

Hi Phil, hope the family is well? I've just noticed that on posts with images, the image doesn't open up in a new window OR give the option to close the image popup like I think it should? Here's an example ... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=134702

B5 2.7t S4 - gone
B5 2.7t RS4 - gone
Ed 30 Golf DSG - gone

S3 2.0 tfsi - 6+ years, but now sold
