dezz, yup, if you check the times of those posts, you'll notice its just before I made the post above. It should be all good now.

Also the dark skin does make the text smaller. We definitely want to run a light skin and a dark skin. Personally I prefer lighter skins, and others prefer darker ones, so this way everyone has something.

The end look will be a blend of the two skins.

Ska, can you check your subscriptions to make sure they're not set to immediate, as its a little buggy in this version.

OMG I love the new skins... both Dark and Light work very well with my signature :) Good work guys...

Also, this is a big ask, but do you think it's possible to have a default font option? Just to give a bit of variance between each post... reading Verdana all day long is quite tedious :)

yep all is well now, and the PM notification email is better than ever as well...good work :)

OK how's this for wierd. That double email problem of mine does not seem to be SAu's, but only started since the upgrade.

The emails go to a "free" email, myrealbox.com, which allows POP3 and SMTP access as well as web based access.

I closed Outlook, turned immediate email notification on for the qld whore thread, waited for a couple of posts and checked my webmail, hey presto, only 1 email per post.

So fired up outlook and it collected them and BAM it doubled them.

Sorry for not properly troubleshooting it before I reported it, my bad.

does this version still email once per reply to subscribed topic? (rather than once until you revisit the board?)

as far as i know thats set by each user in their options. if you manually choose to track a topic without posting in it, then you choose which style of notification you want, but if you have it set to subscribe to threads you post in, it will subscribe the way you have it set in your options...

have a look in there and you can set it to which one you want to be as default :)

And a related point on the improved thread preview, you can't SHIFT+click on a thread from a forum index to open it in another window anymore :) So its hard to browse a forum and open new threads from it

Use firefox and you can control click for a new tab. I don't know why anyone would use IE these days unless for the ATO Portal or a few other sites that can't handle Firefox.

Loving the new dark colour scheme. That light one was hurting my poor little eyes.

One thing is that you can't go directly to a sub forum from the drop down list at the bottom of each page.

Thanks for your work Prank.

theres no option to allow u to only get one email then no more till you return. typically (in this past on this forum, and all other forums), "immediate" notification does this, ie only one email when first person replies, and no more till youve revisited the boards - however sau's immediate for the last few months has meant an email per reply, regardless of whether you've visited or not

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
