Re: View active topics button

New update is great. Loving the made for mobile style :D My only dislike is that people's signatures and posts are exactly the same size, font, and colour and makes its a bit harder to read and flick thru a post to the last bit I was up to... Reading a post and then a signature and wonder where the ...

Re: View active topics button

The big forum button next to the quick links is a drop down which always has the active topics inside it. I might add another one that just says active topics.

Re: Site offline sporadically - expect disruptions

Upgrading the forums over the next few days, expect disruptions. Most likely most of it will happen on the weekend but if it's easier than expected it might be in the next night or two.

Re: Disco Seats in Series 2

They won't be bolt straight in, you will have to modify to suit. I think as long as you don't modify the original mounts you won't need cert. Not sure how that works on the old landys though with their squab setup.

Mine suffers from something like this when the tank is extremely low. Sometimes it's almost impossible to start with out having to use that pump on the fuel filter.
