    I think it perfect the way it is... If anything maybe a slightly more aesthetic design

    Even the paid subscription seems to be working.

    That's kinda my point. But if this wiki dicki is going to any kind of subjective content, e.g., what blows up on a model by model basis, somebody is gonna have to make the call.

    IMHO that stuff is better for threads, leave this to black & white info, we can however link to several of this thread "discussions".

    Is there a way to have an email notification when there is a direct quote reply to a post that you have made?

    Come to think of it, I have wondered why there are two green arrows and no thumbs up. :)

    All the best,

    Leave it be - nothing is more frustrating than a forum in constant revision.

    Constant overhaul can be pretty frustrating, but I think minor tweaks here and there are ok. :)

    All the best,

    When you mouse over the one to the left it reads "Exclamation" and the one to the right reads "Arrow."

    We found a flaw; we should get free lifetime Rossa! :D

    Add a "Find posts with attachment" option to advanced search to filter the results when looking for a certain pic or other attachment.

    to add to the above post, how about a link that just shows the images/attachments to a thread? some of the threads (ie. the official pics threads) are really long, and it would be handy to just be able to look at the pics, without the written portions.

    that picture functionality currently doesn't exist, but I can see its benefit.

    I'm reluctant to make major changes right now until after we migrate to vB 4. My goal is to keep style same as now, but at some point we will have to upgrade.

    some things may be in vB 4 that aren't in vB 3 and then we can customize from there for the other stuff.

    Sub forum for wheels / tires, maybe be able to get a sponsor for it like HRE or something.

    It would also be neat to find a way to confirm if a user was actually an owner or something, maybe they get a little prancing horse next to their name! lol

    or the same mentioned above but they were part of Ferrari club of north america

    love the site as it is already. Wish the picture threads were pinned at the top of all sub forms.

    I would like to see a rating system for the threads. I know that you can search for the latest and most talked about ones, but that doesn't mean the quality is any good. An example would be the 550 throughout Europe. I would rate that one 5/5. That way, I can go into a long thread if I haven't yet seen it and know that it will be great. Something along these lines would be an improvement IMO.

    That and a sticky for all acronyms we use here on Fchat. ;)

    Just cleaned out my PMs for the first time and noticed that in the Sent box you can't sort/delete by the "To" field and it doesn't make sense to sort by "Sender."

    My apologizes if this has been discussed before.

    Just bumping this one in case you didn't see it. Thoughts?

    Thanks.

    Tell ya what... I just thought of one way to make it better... and that's by giving you a 24-hour time out for, what we called in the Army, "General Purposes."

    So many of us use I pads these days. Although inam tech challenged I believe it's impossible to post photos on f chat from an I pad. Please correct this or if it's me, tell me what I'm doing wrong. Thanks
