As of 22/09/2013 we have moved Bimmersport to a new platform of IPB.


As you can see from the homepage its all different.

  Below I will show you some new tips and tricks with the new fourm:
  
  Attaching images to posts - To do this you need to goto "More Reply Options" and select "Choose Files", once you have uploaded the file you that then click on "Add to Post" - When you do this it should output somthing like

It does look cool. I guess everyone will find it a bit weird until it's become familiar.

Two things I noticed:

- When I click "new content" on the home page, it say "no new content", then I click again and the new stuff appears. Not major, just weird.

- Also can't see all the smilies, which was the same before... is that just me??? (at home and work though). They just show the words.

I discovered the solution yesterday, you need to click forums on the top first, just like the old website (we all did it so it was second nature i guess probably didnt even know we did.

Thought it couldnt be right no-one posted for a whole day, might be new but its not that scary

I thought the site was still down because I had bimmersport.co.nz/forum bookmarked at home and work.. Was thinking this is taking ages... Wonder if I was the only one surely not lol

[bimmer boy 21]

How come when you click view new content it says no, as in it says there is none to view even if I haven't been on the site in a few days?

[Lucan 196]

Make sure Forum is ticked etc...

I must say, I'm really liking the new format after using it for a while! Good job guys.

Sorry team...I don`t know how to start a new thread. I`ve just got back home from a very enjoyable day out which started with a breakfast watching the replay of the AB`S game against the Bokkies..I just hopped onto Tardme and had a look at the Porsches for sale ( I always do..) Could interested forum users have a look at the 924s for sale ? ( I can`t post a link). THERE REALLY ARE SOME FUNNY PEOPLE AROUND...and I just run an E39...oh well,,

Are we compatible with any of the mobile forum apps now?
