In simple terms, yes Dave.

The provisos being that anything we do does not break copyright and end up in litigation, and that we have the resource and ability to scan / up-load - host the information.

It looks very good but what's happened to the Garage?

The garage is here John: http://www.moparuk.com/forums/garage.php

I can put the link on a sticky in the forum but there is a problem. The Garage is a MOD for the forum (nothing to do with the website front end) that stopped being supported by it's author years ago. This was one of the stumbling blocks for updating the forum as it will not work in more recent versions of phpBB (the forum software). Another individual tried to take it on in 2011 but his attempts are also not supported in the latest versions of phpBB.

I will keep looking for an alternative but it is imperative that we updated the forum architecture (I'm sure you all agree) and this may well mean that we will lose the garage altogether I'm afraid.

Fully understand things need to progress Martin. I do like that section though, I would have liked people to have made more use of it, I think it's a really good resource. If it's just a case of someone needed to "look after" it, I'd be up for that as long as the computer skills of the average dolt will suffice...

Thanks John and noted the importance of it. I will try hard to find an alternative.

And thanks everybody for the encouraging feedback! :)

Well done to one & all :thumbright: :thumbright:

Great improvement, not being ungrateful, but if we can make it easier to load pictures, that would encourage more or me at least :D

Currently, unless I upload to photo bucket, the copy n paste the links, I can never post a pic ....

Hi Mark, that will be covered by updating the forum which I hope to be getting onto soon, the website front end is not part of the forum.
