With PLANK about the gallery being open to the public as in none paid members, not only about the kid's but also showing car reg's other clubs we are in you have to wipe out (for a better word) the reg on pic's, also the downloads section I think should be for paid members as this way we should encourage more people to join us,not just come along and hi jack the info they need and do a runner.
As for the jokes alot of forums have them on paid members parts to, which I find agood thing. just my 2p worth.

Thanks for the input, But the gallery would not be open for the simple reason you said Paul, To much information on show.

I think we should confine jokes etc to one thread and just keep adding them to the bottom of previous ones, this would stop the last 5 posts sections getting filled up with jokes whilst allowing it to display that there has been a recent post in the jokes section. If the joke thread ends up 123 pages long - so what.

Also, and I know this will be unpopular, can we ban posts that are nothing more than a smiley or a comment of good one etc, they add nothing to the forum and just take up both physical space on page and bandwidth/memory on the server. I have seen this done on other forums and it works nicely once everyone knows the rules.

Good one!!

: Sorry know I shouldn't!! :twisted:

On one of the Toyota clubs I was in we had the same thing with a ebay thread, just kept adding on to the last one, that way when you logged on you didn't just see the same thing on the home page.

Yes, Good one Hummingbird, Were all working overtime on this one,

I will go in and delete a load of the oldest ones.

They always say that the old ones are the best but not in this case!

Any mod can delete replies.

half the time theres not a lot to say after reading funny joke but to say nice one or something or little face laughin! dont understand about servers an stuff bought one about month ago and still not done anything with it lol

bigjim · 02-10-2007, 21:29

Perhaps a joke section is in order? however i can see the fustrations of people looking for advice and ideas and only seeing a line of jokes, how ever thier has been some classic jokes told and i for one has had a good giggle.
can't see too much harm if they are in good taste :?: :roll:

Trouble is every joke starts a new topic and goes on the home page, If you look at the home page now 6 of the last 8 are as follows.

Will have to sort this one out as its not good.

WATER DEVINING
old chains required!
jokes!
Goldilocks Revisited
FIREMAN
An Oirish Story.
Grandma's letter
A Canadian Mountie
nissan navara
Stolen tail light
my terrano has to go
Gearbox problems
Abingdon Sep 2007
Patrol factory fitted Alarm just gone mad !!
WHAT A WAST OF TIME ABINGDON 4X4 SHOW WAS!!!!!

I think we will have to lock the jokes and gags forums until it can be sorted.

Hi,being one of the main culprits for posting jokes,i agree with all the above,it's just a good way to lighten up things!!but i do agree guests should not see them or limit what they are able to see on the site.
If i have offended anybody please accept my apologies!!

is it just the poster not hitting reply button and then putting in new joke but hitting new topic button opening whole new thread if so guidance to use the post reply method and not new topic be easiest solution

t-jay · 02-10-2007, 21:49

i suppose your between a rock and a hard place on this one. you could just do as some members have suggested and and keep adding jokes on to the same post and see if it works. i'm sure that the club members and i will soon let you know if it isn't :!:

mav · 02-10-2007, 21:55

Hi,

Will it work?, Lets try it,

I have locked the jokes and gags,

If anyone starts a new one then a mod will have to step in and delete it or move it,

Mav.

surely thats overkill mate just make sure any new joke has to be a reply so it dont end up clogging list up or cant it be done that way?
