lol @ that bottom one. "inshorans"

Where was the anti-text-typing in 2003 that the forum has nowa days?

The features always seemed to attract chavs like flies to sh*t, more so than the forums did.

There are some atrocities in the features, enough to single handedly keep BarryBoys.co.uk going ad infinitum. IMO the features section should be rebuilt...

[Nobby]

good point but the admin must keep the url for them somewhere because i like to look at my old features lol:thumb:

[Stuart]

the old features are there :wall:

nob....delete some mail...cant pm you, just going to say you should post some new pictures of your mk1 on here, nova in progress!!:thumb:

[Jack]

the old features are there :wall:
I think he meant if the features get rebuilt then archive the old ones somewhere... for the humour value perhaps? lol

[Nobby]

lol stuart!!!:roll: i said if the features were to be re done the ''old'' url for them must be put somewhere so they are still accessable lol - jayd its in the projects lol:thumb:

[sri_boi]

sound!:thumb:

[Stuart]

rebuilt just infers a tart up... not "delete and start again"

[Nobby]

lol ok ok, can this be sorted who actually is admin on here??

[Stuart]

Surely that would take up valuable server space.

IMO feature section should only be available for paid up premium members only.

IMO feature section should only be available for paid up premium members only.
Good idea... perhaps read only for non-members, or they can only see one pic of each car, to see a full feature they'd need to be premium... would have thought that would either raise revenue to pay for the hosting, or lower bandwidth chomping (as only one pic viewable to non-members).

Are there any online standalone database utilities that could host a features section?

[Matt2107]

Answers on a postcard?... i have no idea.

[bump]

I'd say MySQL, use it to create user group links to php pages, that way read & write access can be controlled according to group status, much easier to implement that differing content.

Any thoughts?
