B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) It's my sponsorship account John. It won't let me like a post either which I've asked about sometime ago and it continues unchanged Now it's working.... but I still can't like anyones posts. That still doesn't work. Says I've used up my daily limit, even though I haven't been able to like a post for god knows how long Edited October 21, 2014 by B.M.W Ltd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) And while we're at it.... why has my sponsorship opening post in maintenance which was posted and pinned by Ollie been removed ? Edited October 21, 2014 by B.M.W Ltd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gjm 3258 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 And the search isn't <ahem> quite as effective as it might be. Lol But I'm certainly not complaining, I promise. I've upgraded forums in the past. It can be 'interesting'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
westy 614 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 And while we're at it.... why has my sponsorship opening post in maintenance which was posted and pinned by Ollie been removed ? Have no idea, must have been deleted along the way somewhere. Couldn't find anything searching either. Have created another, see what you think and edit it as you see fit.

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Who is meant to be looking after the site maintenance now Tony. There seems alot is not working to well and Admin seems to be struggling without the support of the owners. Has there been a change in ownership ?

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 21, 2014 Ollie and Andy still own the website. They dont really frequent the site anymore and are pretty busy running their own respective businesses. There are a bunch of us volenteers still left kind of keeping the wheels going. James and myself only visit the site every now and again. I will get back on at some point but have a bunch of other things going on at the moment so my foot has slipped off the pedal for the past few months. Probably why there hasnt been a lot of action to fix things as im not chasing things up any more. My suggestion as a paying sponsor as have a go at Ollie about it as it isnt good enough from your perspective. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_ethrty-Andy_ 2132 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 have sent many a message to the owners over the years, never even a response let alone any action. All businesses no matter intangible or retail in any industry wither away without the involvement of the owners. There are plenty here that would be keen to take over (myself included) and put some investment in, bringing it back to its former glory i was lucky enough to once see. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 Sounds like a viable idea Andy. It's natural that the owners have found other things to occupy their time, more so when they have their businesses to run. The efforts of all the moderators and professional contributors (of which there are an impressive number given the reasonably small active membership) are highly appreciated. Would be effing fantastic to see the forum return to it's roots of being a knowledge base as opposed to the dribble being vomited up over on Fartbook I mean, you'd hardly go to a pizza shop when wanting an explanation on the finer points of ancient Roman architecture, would you?

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted October 22, 2014 James is gonna have a look today and some of these problems. The like problem Glenn, I have had a crack at it and not had much luck myself. Again, I have only had limited time to look at it because of house renovations going on. In a week or so I will have a lot more time for bimmersport and cars again.

westy 614 Report post Posted October 23, 2014 I changed the like permissions of Sponsors and Race Comp groups to the same as general members. It was set at 0.

B.M.W Ltd 950 Report post Posted October 27, 2014 If I sign in under my sponsorship account, sign out, it won't let me sign in under *Glenn* it keeps reverting back to B.M.W Ltd or vice versa, and I have to close it down and reopen before it will even allow me to even post Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
