Seems like less.
Also I'm sure there are less "in depth discussions" as there used to be. Answers to questions still come but are not so varied ALL IMHO of course.

Yep, me too. How hard do you think it will be to get an SVA appointment in, say, February or March?

I'm too busy on household duties and tintop troubles....
Alas....

If they're like me, they've found loads of useful info on the site without having to ask. That's a compliment, by the way.

i know and i REALLY want to get it done before SVA, and i was going to get loads of the body done last week on my week off, and i did, which was good, but i see the standard of peoples cars on here, and they all look fantastic, makes mine looks like crap...

add to that last week, a broken mirror on the beemer (think someone stole it coz its no where to be found ) and a broke radiator. jambojeef sorted me out on the radiator though so happy days, but still got to find a new mirror which matches the other one.

plus i haven't got the money to get all the jobs i need done

That all got a lot worse when the 'front page' of the website became "Latest Forum Topics" rather than the 'forum'.

It straight away encourages just looking at the new posts and not going into the forum section, consequently, it's very easy to lose a post and they don't get the same in-depth focus.

In addition, there's so many new posts now that you can barely keep up with the new ones, let alone browse back through the old!


Bring back the old days! When I started here there was only 3posts a week!

Cheers,
James
