I'm suprised a new / upgraded selection of emoticons weren't provided with the upgrade, this is something that's been requested for as long as I've been here
I would like to see some additional smileys added as well.

I used the members button in the banner a lot. It provided an alphabetical list of all the members on the site.
not that this will change anything, but there are sooo many adssss to load a page take sooo long i cant even enjoy being on this site anymore
Agree totally, I'm not visiting so much (even though I don't have a Mazda now I often visited in the past) and I'm afraid its going to get less so, maybe using Opera doesn't help, but the time it takes to load a page, the ads in the sidebar and a huge expanse of white underneath the eBay ad (on my machine anyway!) doesn't make me want to visit often.
So disappointed

First, whenever I click on search or select a thread I have subscribed to I get the 'you must wait 10 seconds' message even if I have just logged on. THis is happening on all machines I use at home and work so its not domain specific.
second, I cant pay for premo membership as you guys must be passing my info to my paypal account and my card in paypal doesnt match the info on your site. Can you pm me an email address I can send paypal to so I can help support this site?
The rest of the mods/changes I dont really care about as long as I can get to the info I need when I need it...
Thanks

I am disappointed you will leave the forum. The look has changed, not the people on the site. Also, there is a new secondary skin available if you haven't seen it. You can select it by going to the bottom left hand corner of the screen and choosing the second one in the dropdown menu. We have worked very hard to try and make this work for everyone, and we all hope you stay!
We removed the member list. You can send me a pack of smileys you would like added to nsyed@autoforums.com and they will be set up. Thanks!

Is there any reason it was removed? I used it a lot if I want to PM someone specifically without having to search for their username. I would rather have the member list than smileys.
I'm seeing the bug thread still open.. can anyone else confirm?

The sponsorships will not change until renewal time. Any information you require can be obtained by emailing rjones@autoforums.com. Richard handles the vendors/sponsors of the site. The members list was removed due to the chance of a security risk being brought to our attention. We removed it to protect you from the possible hacking. I agreed that it would be better to be safe than sorry.
Could you expand on the details of the security risk? I am unaware of any known security issues with the members list in the previous Vbull releases.
Just wondering if it's an exploit, a bug that jelsoft expects to patch, or etc.

It allows possible hackers/spammers to collect usernames and "brute force" accounts (try a million and one passwords) to assist them in posting spam, scraping member information, and hacking the site. If you have any further questions Goatcrapp, I suggest you email me directly. Thanks!
