Lots of repair info & hints - and even bigger list of parts interchangeability (i.e what perts from non-Marinas fit Marinas.)

Re: A question to the Forum users
Forum is pretty much as I like it, the Classifieds on the forum i think would be better and i've had my FREE Vote
a section with photos sales brochures etc would be good too i've got loads of stuff that could be added, i did post the Press pack a while back but think it's kinda got lost in the forum one place for all that kind of stuff would be good..
but as it goes the forum is looking great, can you tell the last time i donated? i must be due for another donation soon
Keep up the Good Work Ben..
all the best

Re: A question to the Forum users
I think the whole thing is great. I know a lot of work has to go into designing something like this and all credit to those capable of doing it. Having said that however, I agree with Josh that an area for Meets could be put in, very beneficial. I personally would go one step further and under Meets do shows and local meets as sub headings. The classifieds should go back to how they always were. Part of the forum. The only beef that I have with the front page is that when I open the forum the front page is half covering the topics on the left hand side so it's a random click to clear. Other than that brilliant. The thing that really needs looking at is the website itself. I find it off putting when you go into a website and find that it hasn't been updated for some considerable time. How do newcomers look at this

Re: A question to the Forum users
Thanks Gary.
When you say a random click to clear, could you clarify this?
Also, website being this one for upto date info?

Re: A question to the Forum users
When I open the forum Ben I can only see the very left hand side of Recent Activity. If I just click on something I can then read that item, whatever it may be, and it allows me also to see the whole of the left hand side as well if that makes sense. Website meant being the Morris Marina Owners Club. I have mentioned it before and was told that it was being done but nothing seems to have changed much. I just think that if someone was looking at joining the club and look through the site to see that it hasn't been updated for a very long time then what else is lacking and do I really want to bother. I may be totally wrong but it's how I see it. Feedback is good

Re: A question to the Forum users
Feedback is good!
I will look into your issue re the forum.
As for MMOC site, I have built a new site for the club but due to various things I've not managed to speak to Chris re getting it live. Mostly my fault as I've been letting life get busy :-). I hope it will be resolved and changed fairly soon.

Re: A question to the Forum users
No worries Ben I know what it's like to have a busy life but obviously you're on top of the problem and it's getting dealt with. Looking forward to seeing it.
