Congratulations Justin on the new look of www.rs200.org! It looks great.
I've just been browsing about for a few moments but it's a great surprise... Easy and clear to read. Well done.
All the best,
Klaus

Thanks Guys, it has been 3 months of hard work but I am hoping we can now have a balance of "database info" in the locked areas with interaction in the forum ones, I have always been concious that work sometimes makes my updates late so this should address that issue.
What I don't want to is turn it into a full chat room as I see in some groups how sometimes that can be destructive.
Let's see how it goes

Thanks,
By using a BBS style you get all the useful features like searching, sorting and passing on info but I have tried to keep some of the old style where it is a database by locking some threads, for instance the chassis number database but also I wanted it to have some life to it so there is room for people to get involved.
So although it may look like just a forum it is not as simple as that but it does use the logical layout of a forum to store all the data.
We'll see how it goes but it's getting lots of hits which is good and I have just added a MOD so YouTube videos can be embedded just by putting [youtube] and [/youtube] either side of the basic web address of the video.
