Forum Conduct

1. Private Messaging
Please note the use of the Private Messaging service is restricted to registered members only. Please do not post the contents of a PM into a public section of the forum without the permission of the other member. The contents of ALL messages are stored in the database, and if required, Admin do have the ability to check the contents. This will be done with strict confidentiality, and only if we have had an issue reported to us by a member which requires our investigation.
#Top

2. Thread Content
Please be courtious to other members, by posting in a "Normal Writing", where some attention has been paid to Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar. This will help other members to understand any question(s) which have been asked, and help You get the response you require. Similarly users should not SHOUT (Typing their posts in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS) or use excessive punctuation (e.g. ! and ?) in topic titles or posts.
#Top

3. Images
When posting photographs / images of vehicles, wherever from, please make sure you blank out their Registration Plate. You can do this by using a multitude of image editing software. If you are technically not capable of doing so, please contact Matt, who will be able to help you do this. Larger images will be automatically scaled down on the site, to maintain the layout of the site, but the file size will not be reduced.
All members have the ability to use our Upload Picture facility, which will automatically generate a thumbnail of the image(s) to the optimum size for viewing on the forum. The image(s) will be stored on our server, and give you the option to place the uploaded image into the post as an attachment. If a thumbnail has been generated, it will become clickable to show the full size image in a new window. The maximum file size which can be uploaded before is 5MB. Because the images are saved as unique attachments in the individual post, there is no option to post these images elsewhere in the forum, you will have to upload the image again in any further posts. Full instructions on how to use this can be located here.

4. Signatures
A signature may contain one or more images, and or text. The maximum amount of characters allowed is 800. This includes any URLs for images, and text, links or forum code [url] [img] etc. There is no specific maximum image size, but please use your common sense, and don't have something massive. Any images which are deemed to big by the Moderators/Administrators will be removed, and the member notified of the reason. Please do not pad out your signatures with blank lines. You can also specifiy if you want to show your signature or not. This is configurable in the User Control Panel section.
