Some of the better photos from my camera yesterday morning http://www.leask.org/photos/kh20070310 Cameron Edit: Sorry, didn't get any decent ones of the subarus that were there []

As per my reply in the same topic it's worth noting that the PM notifications are indeed working provided you turn them on - there are some settings available to you at the bottom of your inbox.

tis done. Please give generously []

There's nothing scentific about posting a bunch of swearwords into a forum post. It just wastes everybody's time, including yours. As per our forum guidelines at http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/606755/ShowPost.aspx: So I guess you could consider this to be a warning. Please don't do it again.

See http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/615012/ShowPost.aspx Thanks

Johnny50 I recently used Steve Walker's Bodyshop in Bathgate to sort out some stuff on my Focus. Warmly recommended. I'll be taking my P1 there next time (for its annual stonechipped-spoiler respray[]) You can mention my name if you like, not sure what good it might do you!

No, it won't glow or flash. But given that you will receive an email every time somebody PM's you, it shouldn't be too much hardship.

about 5 minutes ago when I turned it on

Well spotted. Seems to only happen when you have longer thread titles etc; we missed that during our browser testing. will get fixed in due course - thanks

PMs can be accessed from the (wait for it) private messages link near the top of the homepage (left of the banner ad) Cameron

Still plenty places for anyone that would like to come along... see http://forums.sidc.co.uk/messageview.cfm?c...&threadid=45644 for details. Places can be bought in the SIDC shop Cheers

Carl, I've fixed yours too

Please see this thread http://forums.sidc.co.uk/messageview.cfm?c...&threadid=45751 Thanks for your cooperation.

Will also be there

Sad news indeed - RIP Paul Thoughts are with Kate, and Paul's family and friends. Cameron

Fixed. Don't do it again

Sti-04 - you had incomplete HTML in your signature which was causing problems. Suggest that you try to avoid HTML if possible. Cheers Cameron

Mr. D. Petch of The Jaguar and Subaru Centre Tollpark Buckhaven Fife, recently contacted the Subaru Impreza Drivers' Club, expressing concern regarding a series of posts made on these forums dated 25th November 2004. At the request of Mr. Petch, these posts were removed from the forum as soon as we received notification of his concerns. The club wishes to apologise to Mr Petch unreservedly for any embarassment the thread may have caused. Further queries regarding the matter should be placed in writing and addressed to the Club's solicitors, who can be reached at the following address: S. Blake Tolhurst Fisher Trafalgar House, Nelson Street, Southend-on-Sea, Essex SS1 1EF www.tolhurstfisher.com I would like to remind all our users and visitors, whether registered or not, of the Terms and Conditions of use of our forums, which can be found at http://forums.sidc.co.uk/reg.cfm.

Paul wrote: "I hardly think a garage is going to go to the trouble contesting/taking to court a post on this forum!" You will, therefore, be surprised to learn that it has been threatened more than once. For obvious reasons we treat the matter seriously, because, as you now know, we have a duty of care with respect to the material that is publish on our websites.

Paul From the Terms and conditions I linked to previously: "You agree that you will not use our forums to post any material, or links to any material, which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law." If you have a grievance then you should take it up with the supplier concerned, directly. Phil has already offered to contact dealers and/or third parties in the interests of facilitating an open conversation about the matter between supplier and consumer. If you feel this is inappropriate then you may wish to contact Subaru UK or International Motors, your Citizen's Advice Bureau, your MP, BBC Watchdog, or indeed your Solicitor. None of this removes the fact that the club has a duty of care with respect to what is published on our online services. Accordingly, f you wished to publish your own list of "grievances" online, then the club would have no ability to stop you from doing so, but if any SIDC forum user linked to that material from the SIDC forums then we may, at our sole discretion, choose to remove that link. This is also part of the Terms and Conditions, which I would encourage you to re-read.

No, it's not a waste of time. I repeat: It's your agreement that your comments are your own and not those of the club. If the disclaimer were not in place then it might be inferred that your comments and opinions were those of the club. As it stands, the club is expressly separated from your comments and opinions. It does not however remove from the club its duty of care as the publisher of your comments.

The disclaimer is your agreement that your comments are your own and not those of the club. It does not remove from the club its duty of care as the publisher of your comments.

The situation here is quite clear, and there is no need to rant. The opinions stated in any individual's post are clearly those of the individual. The club, however, publishes those opinions on the forums. As a publisher we still have a duty of care with respect to the content of our publications - i.e. this forum. If the author of the opinions will not withdraw them, and the publisher takes no action to remove them, then the operator of the website (i.e. our hosting partners) could ultimately be asked to shut down the site completely. This can be legally enforced and there are plenty examples of situations where websites have been shut down because of material that was hosted on them but hadn't been put there by the operator or publisher of the website. In general the club approaches this duty pragmatically. I'm glad to observe that 99% of the time the posts on our forum do not cause problems. I'd like to see this trend continue. For the occasional posts that do cause offence or raise concern, then as the publisher of that material we must act in the best interests of the club as a whole. Accordingly we may, on those very rare occasions, edit posts or remove threads. Your acceptance of this forms part of the Terms and Conditions for the use of the SIDC Forums - to which we all agreed, as part of the signup procedure. Your continuing support and cooperation, to ensure that we can continue to be pragmatic about how we approach this issue, is greatly appreciated.

Thanks Phil Jamie: Drop me an email if you'd like to chat...!

LOL. I don't want to seem rude but please don't, unless you intend to drive past quietly and at 40mph. I really, really don't want to ever relive last night's events.
