The forum has just been upgraded to the latest version of vBulletin (3.7.0) which has a few twiddly-bit changes. Hadn't noticed the profile one till you said :p I much prefer the WYSIWYG reply box on here. Its much more helpful than SXOC, who have this option disabled.

I'll vouch for that, i sold mine, now i have a S13, so i thought i would get on the SXOC more.......there all rather mean, and not very clued up at all, "just make it fit" seems to come up alot....or "gaffa it on" is another popular one :D

To be fair, there is a great deal of knowledge on SXOC. Unfortunately, the ones who know what they are on about have got sick of posting up solutions to questions, only for their answers to be buried under a mountain of replies which are complete bollocks. I've experienced it first hand and spoken to many others who have got so sick of it that they no longer bother to reply...

You should invite them to join here :D
I guess it comes with the large amount of users. Most large forums are like that while the smaller forums are friendlier in my experience.

Yes Nicely....i didnt mean my comment to sound quite so blunt :eek:
I fully agree there are alot of guys on there that know there stuff, but as you said.....alot of them dont, and post stupid replies :down:

Also, as said earlier, thats the problem you get with a forum with so many members. shame really coz 90% of SX'ers i meet are really nice chaps.

I miss my S15 and i miss this friendly forum :(

As one of the first to start posting on the SXOC and its predecessor site(s) I for one cant be bothered anymore. I tend to get PMs now for information and advice. Which is flattering, but also a bit annoying, as I dont come on the forums as much as I used to.
Im bored with it all tbh. And Im seriously considering selling up all together.

Ive met a lot of good freinds thro the site and the ones that matter are not gonna be affected if I sell up.

Nine years is a long time to be playing with these fcuking cars!

I think if forums annoyed me to the degree that I wanted to sell up, I'd stop going on the forums....

I have taken an increasingly back seat role on the SXOC. I'm the S15 mod over their, but have very little to do, as most of the S15 guys come over here more now. Its not something I set out to do, but I'm rather glad its happened, as its quite annoying having S13/14 owners posting up incorrect S15 knowledge.

Matt is a prime example of how it should be done. I noticed him joining in on S15 threads and adding to his knowledge. He was then in a good position to give accurate S15 specific answers :thumbs:

We may be cast offs, but you guys should have left us there and you guys come over here!!! you lose :p

It's safe to come to oz (relatively safe) I am sure that we can get a few coldies ready for your arrival.

Yeah I just found the album feature on the profile page last week, and added some quick pics. That's a really cool feature!

The forums dont annoy me persey(sp). Ive just lost interest in the cars! Maybe Im finally getting old, but I dont have the enthusiasm I had before. WHat I was sayign about PMs, I tend to get them on SXOC askign for advice, as theyve read my posts and like what they hear/see and somehow seem to think I know what Im talking about/doing....:D Where they get that Idea from I dont know LOL! ;)

Err, yeh, whatever you say Christian. LOL :D

Ive found a few more things that are different on the cars since I bought mine. Rear hubs being the latest example. One day Ill make a list of everything Ive noticed thats different from 14-14a-15 :)
