could you not make it so the thread starter can adapt his/her origanal post...for instance i had a thread about the colour of my wheels then about 10-15 pages down the line i wanted to know what colour calipers would suit the wheels but many people seen the original post and just commented on the wheels while i was on a diffrent subject but not off topic...anyone know what I'm saying if so please translate it lol

You argued with an idiot, I brought you down to my level and I beat you with experience.

Right...I have up'ed the edit time to 20 minutes. I believe that it is an acceptable amount of time to permit an edit.

Thank you.  BTW the site seems quicker again today...

- Topic/PM Notification Emails will no longer contain text from the reply
- New attachments are no longer permitted - you must use PhotoBucket or similar
- Now Playing modification removed (it was pointless)
- Profile Custom Settings reset to defaults, please tweak these to a minimum
- Certain old boards removed that had minimal activity
- Classifieds section truncated to recent posts only[/b]

Following ideas are all great, I believe these will benefit mostly:
- Topic/PM Notification Emails will no longer contain text from the reply
- New attachments are no longer permitted - you must use PhotoBucket or similar
- Now Playing modification removed (it was pointless)

I'm now going to check the custom profile settings...


There's an Official SE2 Owners Register, if you are looking for it click above and add the SE2's details to the register.

Out of curiosity, what would members think if the Shop was removed? I find it rather pointless?

Any other perks you want to remove? Maybe if we remove all the members and threads aswell that would speed things up abit :)

how about removing the snow for a start?

Some features such as the ability to change your display name or login name are useful but thats about it, the others don't have any real purpose. I personally wouldn't mind if the shop was removed but then I don't use it  :) . Maybe if someone wanted to change their username or display name they could just contact you instead.

To save me modifying my thread repeatedly, why dont you just remove all the obselite members? Surely all their profiles are taking up space and to be fair, its all good having thousands of members but whats the point if they never return or contribute? Surely anyone who hasn't posted in over a year could just be removed?

Already done Shifty, removed possibly a thousand that have registered but never posted, and haven't logged in within 6 months.

If you wanna stay a member...post...!

Wow, that must have been a fair few you've got rid of, as there are loads that have joined but never posted.

So how many members are we left with that have logged in within the last 6 months?

We're now down to 4555 members - which frankly is a fairly good active userbase - if all forums did this, they'd be down to hundreds.

Sorry I actually purged up to 90 days of non activity.

Haha, not until we add a character restriction to posts :D :D :D

p.s. Actually, there already is one, 20,000 characters, but I think even you J@z would struggle to manage that....oh damn, did I just challenge you!
