phpBB Garage is here!

[aaronjb]

Yes, folks, it's the moment you have all been waiting for.

Granted some of you might not have known it..


On Friday (8th June, 2007) evening at 10pm we will be taking the board down for an hour or so to add spangly new functionality to the forum in the shape of an online Garage.

If you want to see a what functionality it will have then have a look at  m http://www.phpbbgarage.com/phpBB3/ m  - although we will not be moving to phpBB3 just yet, so the look and feel will be quite different.


Suffice to say you will all be able to create your own Garage (we are allowing one vehicle for now), add pictures, modifications to your vehicle, insurance details, dyno plots and quarter mile times.


Exciting, no?

There will be a few other little tweaks to try and reduce our database size by limiting some useless search terms from appearing in the database, and to try and stem the automated spam-bot signups, but nothing that should be apparent to you all - of course if you do spot anything after the fact, post up in Feedback and I'll get right on it.


I expect the down-time to last no longer than an hour (unless something horribly unexpected happens!) from 10pm, so we should be back up and running by 11pm.

But you'll all be out on the beers anyway, right?  Or, as they say over on SpyderChat - just go drive your dman cars!  s;) s;)

Its a great modification, good to see here too - Nice work Aaron.

Nice features include being able to produce tables of cars like power, 1/4 mile, most spent etc (although this can be a shock once you've entered all your modifications!)

I know Esmond is hard at work on phpBB3 based developments  s:) s:)

[broudie]

(Noticed a "VXR220" - whatever one of those is - top of the 'Most Rated' list... so a quick "un point" has dropped this interloper out of the top 5   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:    s:P s:P  )

Anyone else a little shocked when you see all your mods listed with price and see how much you've spent!

Now I've got to hide the page from Jess.

Yes!! And I haven't finished yet.

Not telling Alison anything about this add-on   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  Already spent more than a turbo cost - and she said I couldn't have that because we had "better" things to spend our money on.
