    After careful considerration and having just noticed the bikini car wash thread I think F-Chat is perfect as is.

    We have lots of eggs right now, as all 3 in the household bought some on the same day.

    Un-be-liev-able.

    So, while...

    5 Large Eggs were scrambling, albeit, slowly
    grated bunch of Colby Cheese on top, mixed
    added bunch of Pace Salsa Verde, stirred
    diced red Onion, added at last mo'

    let it cool

    mmmmmm, Carla.

    mixed with Mayo, Gulden's mustard, Paprika, Texas Pete's Hot sauce

    mmmmmm, Carla.

    slathered on lightly toasted bread

    mmmmmm, Sandwich.

    Got enough for one more...

    Hands it to vintagemotorcars...

    Sorry, everybody else!

    Here is one I have been thinking about.

    Add the "FerrariChat.com > General Forums > Ferrari Discussion (not model specific) > How would you make FerrariChat.com better?" links to the bottom of the page viewed, too.

    I hate having to click back to the top to get to a section I have not placed in my BookMarks Bar.

    I think it would be great if it was possible to "hide" the thread titles of threads started by those on your Ignore List. So not only would you be spared their posts, but the thread title would display as --- or *** or something similar. Would make the Ignore List more meaningful.

    Is this technically possible?

    I would like to see a way to import a .bmp graphic as well as a .jpg. Sometimes I don't have a convenient way to convert one.

    can't we have some kind of "invite a friend-view only link", I want to show some friends the thread I started about supercharging the 308 with pictures, but then they have to go through the hassle to register, yes more registered users, but they only want to see some pics and not post.

    Easier way of posting pictures, and atleast make the limit 1000 pixels wide!

    Thanks for a great forum otherwise.

    heres the link that explains it... i found it a little hard to grasp at first, but once you figure out the "number" you are looking for in the code-line its easy.
    i use it alot now...

    If there is it would be a hack. I don't think downloading one by one as csv or txt and then compiling so you can search from excel or word makes it any easier than just clicking through them one by one.

    FYI you can create subfolders, I categorize PM's I want to keep.

    Not sure I would like that feature. I presume now it gets notated after someone has read the post. I have seen posts that get significantly changed after people have read and responded. Without the 'edit' notation the initial responses would have seemed nonsensical.

    I love FChat but the one thing that would be nice to have is a detailing section. I'd love to be able to ask and discuss different products, techniques, etc. Since most of the mechanical work is done by professionals, detailing is one fo the few things I can do start to finish.

    It gets asked for quite often, think we're getting rid of Showroom section in favor of pic subforums in each model section. Now best would be a detailing sponsor and have a sponsor forum, I have just had real flaky detailing companies, don't think I've ever had one pay or stay in business.

    For the last flipping time:

    Isn't there any way that the time interval before a post gets noted as "last edited" can be lengthened, to maybe five measly minutes?

    It would be nice to be able to go back and corrrect a misspelling, add a thought, or re-phrase something.

    I know, this is a personal pet peeve, but it's damn irritating.

    Agree with you, there shouldn't be enough time to change per responses. Five minutes max.


    Hehe, I got pissed at my post in another thread getting flagged edited, went to this thread to complain, and then changed this post when I saw your response to my earlier one! :)

    I still think five minutes should be allowed for corrections.

    Rob, here is what is going on, Whenever I open a post/thread, this is the message, I have Itunes installed, but I opened it last time, and it just opened itunes, and it still pops up for me.

    Petition US Gub'ment to have elections of any description every 8 years with races towards finish of said elections to last a period no greater than 3 months and for elected officials to do no wrong in the eyes of any F-Chatter.

    Delete P&R (subscribed only section) altogether, or do it properly and get a moderator with expertise in politics (i.e., more than just a capable referee). As it stands, it has no value.

    Unlike the Ferrari threads, where the information posted is mostly accurate, P&R is about 95% misinformation and hearsay. I think we do a disservice by hosting it here and perpetuating false assertions, and there are thousands of other political discussion boards to host these exchanges.

    For same reason we don't have a Porsche board here (better expertise elsewhere), I think we'd do better to leave the political discussion to forums where there are informed people to moderate.
