Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    OK,

    The modified section is active enough but I think it could be a lot more active.

    Its never going to compete with full sized dedicated forums for modified motors.

    So I just thought I'd throw this idea generation thread up to get ideas off people as to ideas on how to make the forum more active.

    What would you like to see on the forum that would bring you back on a daily basis or would find very helpful.

    So get your ideas on here and we'll see if anything can become a reality.

    *please note though that meets are dealt with by the invite only group already on boards so no ideas about meets as there already dealt with

    People starting up a project thread on the progress of their cars perhaps. I love finding old ones on sites which have hundreds of posts on the modifying/restoration of a car

    As above a projects section/sub-forum.

    Get some of the motorsport competitors on board and give a bit of a diary on their competing, makes for great reading. Plenty ideas out there!

    1. A good thread of performace car insurance.
    2. Car review thread
    3. Some orgonised member car thread( similar like: post pics of your motor)
    4. Thread with Events going around ireland.

    A sub forum isn't really a good idea as it would be too quite and modified motors is already a sub forum of motors.

    How about for people wanting to throw up project threads they put [PROJECT] in at the start of the thread title then anyone wanting to search for project threads can search that.

    It would probably not be possible to get competitors involved either as they have there own forums that they post to, i doubt they'll find it worthwhile posting here as its not geared towards them really, any ideas on how we could get them involved would be welcome though.

    An events thread is a good idea if someone would like to get info on any events coming up they can start a thread and i'll sticky it.

    A car review thread is also a good idea, i'll look into a structure of this and start it as a sticky when i get time too.

    sub threads for different types of cars isn't really a good idea at the minute, i could see the threads just dying off.

    any other ideas? come on keep em coming
