Hi I have noticed lately in reporting spam on this website is bit slow in being dealt with or sometimes overlooked. This tends to let spammers know that the site is bit relaxed & tends to promote other spammers to frequent the site which spoils a lot of posts. When a spam report is sent do all...

Hi, I am new, and a little bit confused how this forum works. When I am logged in, and parked at the Home page of this forum, where do I go to post a question? I just can't see where to do it. If I go to the FAQ for help on how to post a question, it only talks about fonts and format, not actually...

just curios on how to put a pic up on my profile :ltg:

As most of you will have noticed, we recently upgraded our forum software and things are very different in the new FAF! A few things are missing, a few things are new, but overall we should have a smoother operating site without the little bugs that annoyed us all so much before. The new...

Benn having this happening quite a lot recently, but it seems on odd occasions that i make a post it timestamps it wrong and then doesn't say that the post is the most recent on the forum list. sometimes its a few minutes off but others its hours or even days wrong. Also when this happens the...

I posted an update today to an old thread that I started in September 2009, and it hasn't been brought forward to the current postings? URL fordaustraliaforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t+39256

I've had this problem before & have had to re-register (which means I'm on here a couple of times with slightly different names) but am going over to a new server anytime now which will mean new Server & Email address.

Hi Guys, I am not being notified of reply's to threads I open or comment in properly if ever it's very rare I do get one but most of the time I do not so it's hard to keep track of things. I have it set up in my account to be notified asap of reply's.

i've got internet explorer 8 and it always crashes on the main forum, particularly today on 'Burela "cries foul"' thread. i wonder whats on that thread that causes ie to crash. i have IE8 and Windows 7, so i'm running at the front of the pack. computer is an intel I7 processor. :rolleyes:...

heres what happens: quite regularly as in like every few hours the forums wont load ie: explorer will say "server not found error" whereas mozilla will just return a white blank page with no error message. i have a network with 3 pc's and it wont work from either pc yet other ppl on my msn will...

I have noticed that we seem to get a lot of repeated questions about some issues with certain models. The thought I had as a solution is: could we maybe put up a sticky thread at the top of the model rooms with the opportunity for people to link to commonly asked about issue threads? there is a...

:eek: :SHOCKED: hi all, i apologise up first if this is the wrong place to post, however as it pertains to FAF, i thought here is appropriate. i restarted my pc this morning and wanted to log on to FAF, but browser history reset i couldn't just type ford into the address field and the rest of...

Hey there admin, I seem to have a problem with FAF not remembering me when I return. I do tick 'remember me', and I have deleted my FAF cookie from my HDD, yet it still refuses to like me. :( I'll add that its even if I don't close my browser and revisit. Any further ideas? Thanks. ...

When text is 'quoted' you see a small red 'x' as the result - a formatting issue?

This morning FAF was hit by a spammer bot that was attempting to logon as each user of this forum and send a private message containing spam. The bot was attempting to logon using each user's username as their password. Apparently we have dozens of members that use this practice of using their...

Just wondering if the addition to this site of a section devoted to the Ford Zephyr / Zodiac series could be considered?

I keep been redirected to some fordforums instead of this site over the last three days including 3 times this morning. Any clue as to why this keeps happening.

In NZ at least, I couldn't get the forum for 24 hours from yest morning. All I got at the www address was what looked like a giant virus (I am no expert) with a picture of a young woman and likes to "Ford" stuff, like Henry Ford, Harrison Ford, etc. Still the case earlier this morning. Now...

For some reason this forum always forgets who I am. Even though I click on "remember me" I have to log on with password every time I visit. But the worst part is it sometimes forgets me half way through a reply or when browsing, then I have to close explorer and try again. Any ideas? Doesn't happen...

G'day. Some problems that I am experiencing are that when I log in, I type my entry into the forums (sometimes lengthy) and by the time I am finished and ready to post, I am automatically logged out (sometimes it's 10 or 15 minutes after logging in). It doesn't matter which computer I use (Home or...

What's the go with this website being so slow??? It's like trying to download a page from Iceland, seriously. I've got very good speed and connection with no such problems from 99% of other sites I visit. Any explanations??

Before last nights outages and upgrades, the user could click anywhere in the "Box" containing the Forum Title, and our browsers would navigate to the forum. Today, we have to click on the hyperlink itself, which means re-learning the muscle memory I have built up for FaF. Can we have the old...

I have no objections as to what anyone posts, provided its within all the regulations of what FAF say, but please DO NOT try and weasel your way out out something you have said/written/posted. Say EXACTLY what you mean. ;)

Since FAF is all based around you guys I thought I'd throw open the door for discussion on ideas and ways of improving your experience on the forums. We want suggestions for new rooms, suggestions for competitions and activities, any suggestions at all. If you've got anything to add, please...
