  1. Cheers stu.

    didnt ev3n get the chance to accept cookies. As soon as i typed in and hit return. Instantly came up that.. so i switched back to internet explorer and no issue.

    good its all fixed though

    Cookies and the chrome warning are two seperate issues. The post about cookies was a deviation from your OP - apologies for any confusion caused.

  2. If selecting no it redirects to the forums

    Should really direct to google as the forums use cookies too ;)

    At the agm it was discussed that you would be redirected to a landing page telling you about the club and more in depth cookie useage. This would give less educated new users the chance to accept the new regulations.

    Which it itself would require cookies in order to ascertain what page they had come from... You see the issue?!?

    I would suggest that you read up on cookies and the legal requirements if you wish to make changes.

  3. The refusal of cookies, as discussed at the agm, still boots you out, for prospective visitors.

    That's the law. Any site that uses cookies requires a cookie opt out. As you can't browse the site without cookies (as you need to log in), it throws you out. Same requirement of all UK sites that store user data.

  4. HOPPED onto my google chrome and went to come to club site and this is what happened after i typed in www.sidc.co.uk into address bar and hit return.

    anyone aware of this? never had it on normal google or internet explorer or firefox

    The chrome issue has been fixed (was a link to a page on the Keith michaels site as opposed to malware - was flagged as suspicious code). It takes a while for the warnings to be removed.

    If you go to http://forums.sidc.co.uk you'll not see the same error. It's down to the URL string being published via a php script. Like I say, all fixed now so should disappear soon.

  5. Nice!

    In a similar vein, I had some fun last week at work intercepting the photos taken by Google for the new 'indoor street view' and then photoshopping the results before giving them back. Adding ACME white painted interiors à la Daffy Duck, hologram phones, mongooses in offices etc. quite fun :)

  6. Dont see why it would kick of stu youve made a valid point and just trying to point it out.

    Hasn't stopped it before now has it. That's why I, and many others, rarely pos anymore.

    Anyway, that aside, I was thinking more about safety advice etc, if someone modified their car (within what is stated here to be legal parameters) and those mods failed or something went wrong, there was an accident and someone was injured or worse still, died... What happens then?

    Okay, so an extreme scenario but a possible risk nonetheless and one that in my mind, really isn't worth running.

    Also, the club's liability cover does not extend to advice given on the forum - that's another colossal cost that solicitors cover with their fees. Not sure about you guys but I personally don't have millions lying about the place to cover the cost of liable action...

  7. Just a thought here guys but say for example one of you posted some legal information and it was wrong. say for example that someone had taken that information and acted on it and things go awry. Who deals with the litigation and the fallout from that?

    There's a LOT of motoring and indeed Subaru related matters that could be covered but despite this having been mentioned in the past, it has never taken off specifically for that reason.

    No offence but are any of you actually qualified to impart legal advice? Just because something's posted on the Internet, doesn't make it true. That's what solicitors charge for, their knowledge and the time it takes to corroborate information.

    I know you're likely going to klick off because its me responding and again, it's not what you want to hear, but it's certainly worth thinking about before you jump headlong into it.

  8. I fear I may be the victim of Internet hacking like the site went under a couple of weeks ago.

    I have asked for some clarification as I have had no correspondence to this at all.

    Maybe you could see if you have any joy finding out phil with you being an all round nice guy? :)

    Chris

    Who did you contact and when? On my mobile so can't sort anything but I'm sure Kim or Don will sort as soon as they're able
