We thank you for your patience during this process.










Damn !
Just as long as you don’t turn it into one of those websites that makes it hard for Mac users.
Haha, ironically enough when I clicked on the link to this piece in my netvibes RSS reader I got an “error establishing database connection” error.
Alex, nothing will change on the outside, except that the site should load faster!
Plus since most of our team use Macs, incompatibility is out of the question!
Yes we are working through the Database connections now Liam.
Well that’s good news. I get so sick of not being able to access certain sites because I choose to use what’s widely accepted as a better operating system. Even parts of the Apple website work better one a PC!
*Meant to write “on a PC”.
I got fast internet so this is kinda useless for me.
Any loading speed increase of the site,is much appreciated.
A bit of a contradiction saying that you use the “better operating system” yet websites look better on a pc.
We are not starting a Mac .vs. PC debate on a car site :)
Please keep on topic and use this to report bugs etc.
Just don’t change the format. I think everyone will agree that this one is perfect..
id love the option of making reviews into single pages ala drive
every so often after I post on caradvice, internet explorer loads and loads every second or so and I have to shut the computer down by pushing the on/off button. Is that a known issue?
The *only* issue i had was last week every post i was posting said it needed to be checked by the moderator.
Nows ok!
Oh, and you cannot leave the *smiles* anymore, ie ” :-) ” no longer shows a picture, JUST :-) You fix!
Cheers

The “email” link isn’t working on your articles effective 31/01/09, good old 404 error, that has to be the best known error code in the internet age!!
