Avatars are nice, but so small. I like having a pic of my car in my sig. Adds my little touch to each post.

There will be posts from a 2-3 hour window yesterday that will be lost I'm afraid, as it took this long to convert the database and index the search.

Sorry about that, but I'm sure you can re-type the posts :)

Hi Alex

That's true, but it gets to the point where you open a page and all you see is signature pics :)

We'll see how it goes...

Cheers

Josh

It seems like a much more professional forum dont get me wrong but I'm a new member so wouldnt really know the ins and outs of it all. Does need something to link it towards the polo, maybe a VW logo or a Uk-polos logo on the top, just for originality :) there my views mate.

Well this going to take some getting used to, but it looks pretty good.

One thing I have noticed is links dont open in a new window, so you end up being navigated away from the site, whereas before they'd open in a new window, so you were still on the forum!

Yeah, that's one of the "features" of the new version...

Right click on the link and open in new tab/window... That should sort it for now :)

I'm not very used to the colour change tbh, its all a bit "samey" and quite similar to club polo imo. I also liked being able to have signitures aswell but each to they're own I guess.
