lets get this party started!

[AlfaCorseChris]

Oi !!!!


Whats going on here ? Who's in charge ?

[Johnboy]

Some dodgy blokes , think the powers gone to there heads

[AlfaCorseChris]

In other news, I've heard some rumors, bout a certain 16v 33.....


...not really news, as I've been hearing these rumors for the past 3, 4 or 5 years or so...

Know anything about it ?

[Johnboy]

No pass

[AlfaCorseChris]

[Shant Ole]

Now then

Btw why are the smileys pointy on the chin

[Shant Ole]

I have also not found the button how to mutli quote yet

Oh and i cant put the picture i want as my avatar

[KevJTD]

evening guys

nice to see some friendly faces (well, imagine the faces....see what i mean...)

hope we can continue with the good start

nice to see new ones too, can't wait to see cols' new sud......



with regard to the avatar size and the multi post thing, we will look into it.
to be honest shrew and me have tried to do the best compromise we can initially, sharing the costs of setting up the forum, buying the web space etc so maybe all the features of some of the other forums that charge we may struggle to match..
we were firm in our commitment from the beginning of our talks last year though that we wouldn't make any charge to members. so the amount of webspace/upload or whatever it's called (can you tell i'm not exactly IT savvy ) will be maybe a little bit less than others.
must admit though, i'm very pleased that we decided to delay the launch so the pics uploading could be made simpler, which i feel is pretty much the easiest of any car forum i've been on. well done jeff

the multi quote tab i would think will be a relatively easy thing to solve, a work in progress and all.

we are far from the finished article so all these suggestions are very welcome, we will do all we can

kev & shrew

[stuartieboy]

No complaints so far, I'm using my mobile and it works well, I uploaded a photo just now and it was a cinch!
I have a fortnight of night shifts coming up, so I'll attack with a PC soon!

[AlfaCorseChris]

Kev, Shrew,

dont know if this is something thats happening only to me, but ,

1 - If I go to: www.classicalfaforum.co.uk all I get is a "Coming Soon" page with a certain sketch of a certain Sud
So in order to come on the forum I need to type"/forum" to get redirected

2 - My username and password are required every time, even though I tick the box "Log me in Automatically"


Thats about it

[Johnboy]

2 keeps happening to me too

[PETROLHEAD]

yes for now boys n girls it has to be the current title

www.classicalfaforum.co.uk/forum


eventually, it will all be applied to the much easier www.classicalfaforum.com


this will open up the pretty picture home page first as the intro, and then lead into the site as you know it now.

we don't particularly need it, but new comers and internet searchers will enjoy site of an awesome boxer alfa at least as their welcome to the new place to be.



when this change takes place i'll announce it in the site news lounge, but for now, stop moaning and get posting on something constructive! ha ha!


JB, still waiting for shots of the new garage / play den!

[Johnboy]

Here you go shrew , thought I had more ? Well outside is now done! Now got to insulate the inside power lighting extraction and fit it out. I've got to make the most of the space

[KevJTD]

wish i could have that in my back garden

[PETROLHEAD]

Fantastic JB.

If you'd not been hobnobbing around in the sunshine and on facefart every five minutes, it would have a ski and a 33 in it by now! ha ha!

[Johnboy]

this is true well there both be in there soon

[AlfaCorseChris]

Shrew,

just a quick question mate....

I dont know if its because I was used to other forums, but is there a way to customize my layout to have the avatar picture of the poster on the left on top of his post, rather than on the right ?

My eyes keep pooping from one side of the screen to the other.

If not, I'll just get used to it

[33bits]

Hi guys, this is looking good, thanks for the link Shrew.

[Jube]

Congratulations Shrew / Kev on getting the forum up and running - looks great and I hope you're both keeping well.

One suggestion which I think would be really nice to have on the site is a dedicated Projects section. This is always my favourite part of any car related forum that I visit. (I know you can add them to the relevant Model's technical section but over time they tend to get lost)

Just an idea and again well done chaps.

[Fluffyduff]

Thanks for the heads up on the new diggs lads, well done!

[SteffenJ3316V]

A hallo from Denmark as well Site looks good to me

[markalfa83]

Well done Kev and Shrew. Looks a good site

[adsblacksud]

Well done to John for posting the link to this site from the Darkside.
Congratulations for setting the site up and let's celebrate a forum for proper enthusiasts. Not a lot of progress on my Sud recently but just converted the front struts to coilovers so will plod on and post some updates soonish.

Cheers,
Adam

[deggy]

must say shrew and kev i'm loving this forum already! i've not posted in any of the others for a few months as they just seemed to die off but this feel like the spirit of old already!

[KevJTD]

cheers guys for all the positive comments.

getting the old feeling back like we used to get elsewhere, but more control (or less, to be accurate.....) is the key.

the boxer section was like one big family, we hope this forum will take off and the whole classic alfa scene will be one bigger happy family

[Johnboy]

Yep totally agree guys! Forums should be fun and informative

[AlfaCorseChris]

by the way... can anyone inform me on what happened on the other site that is not to be mentioned ?

Is there any movement there ?

[Johnboy]

Nothing really changed there, not many posts these days . Not like it used to be mods still think their god

[SteffenJ3316V]

No not really. The only ones posting is Brit01, Edward, Lonewolf and Lauren.

[lee16v]

Hi guys.
Site looks great, well done Kev and Shrew.

Cheers John for the heads up.

Should be getting the 33 back on the road this year after its short rest Reckon we could turn it into a race John? so should have lots of updates.
