Updates due - Please read

[Ross]

Hi all,

Just a quick post that over the next few days I'll be doing some (mainly) behind the scene's updates to the forum. This will involve:

- Updating phpBB to the latest version
- Updating TapaTalk to the latest version
- Installation of a couple of helpful mods
- Re-sync of all 0 post members to "newly registered" class

With the introduction of Car Mod Shop and hopefully others to the forum of which are offering us club discounts, I will be introducing a post threshold of "1" post before members will be able to view the discount codes. As it stands all of you will be able to see the recently added "Club Discounts" section at the top but if you have 0 posts this will disappear when I do the re-sync. As soon as you post once, it'll appear again. This is to encourage people to at least say hello before accessing our discount codes.

During these updates the forum may go down for a brief time or say that it is unavailable so please bear with me and I'll report back when completed

Thanks,
Ross.

Ok so the phpBB is now up to date and therefore there should be no more downtime, the rest I can do without taking the forum down

[Ross]

Ok so I've made a few changes to help maintain the forum!

- Members will automatically be promoted to a dedicated member as soon as they hit 10 posts.
- Dedicated members now have a light blue coloured name
- Affiliates have a dark blue coloured name
- Affiliates have a "special" affiliate badge
- If you have 0 posts you will not see the "Club Discounts" section, you need at least one post to see this so please just say hello

I hope you like the modifications I have made to the forum, I'm always trying to make it better for the community.

If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Ross.
