Not really, this site is unbeleiveably old. i have no idea why it hasnt been updated yet. It has shocking uploads, cant accept IMG tags which are the most and only common tag in the world

When you move your cursor over things it doesnt say what they are, I barley found this quote box to click on

I understand that peter or whateva probly does this for free, but simple invasion is free, and if hes already having this site hosted somewhere then he can get the new one hosted somewhere too.

If the site was more diverse more people would come here, if it has supras or anything else, then I would even become a sponsor on here. But not in its current state.

And the people on here are shockers, you all have the same mentality, its like sheep to flame.... (ie rims & offset & kits)

The site has no avatars or signatures. Its shocking really. It just needs an update to invasion board or something

Anyway

Then it wouldn't be Soarer Central. But I agree it would be nice if it had a few extra features and was a bit more up to date on the site but its all time and money. I am quite sure that the majority of regular members could contribute a few dollars each to go towards the development of the site. I know the amount of information that I have found on here is certainly worth more than that.

Dave, most things do have the Alt tag which gives the little yellow popup that says "Quote hilighted text". That means if you hilight some text with the mouse, then it gets quoted as well, rather than the empty quote that you did.

There is also a FAQ section that explains a lot about how the forum works. Perhaps that needs to be called something else, eg "How to use this forum".

The web site software hasn't had any new releases for quite a while, hence no updates.

But just because it isn't your average forum with average users doesn't mean it isn't any good, just that you haven't been able to adapt to using the powerful features that it does have - which other boards don't.

Find me another forum that has the New Posts list that works as well as this one does. It doesn't exist.

Avatars are available, but what a waste of space to just see the same pic repeated with every post. Ego, stay home.

Soarer Central was specifically created to be functional and is for, and about, Soarer owners primarily. It was never intended to be the worlds greatest all car forum, though we happily have sections for close relatives of the Soarer such as the Celsior and Chaser.

If enough people wanted a Supra section, then I would be happy to do that too, but it's never been asked for.

Fortunately most of our users appreciate the functionality of the forum, and the helpful attitude of most people here, it's a lot more than just rims and kits, though if people want to talk about them - why not?

Relax, explore the features a bit more and you will enjoy it more like the rest of us.

Dave,

I have found soarer central to be extremely helpful and I think that they have very practical rules and regs that keep it respectful.

I am based in Africa and find very difficult to get information about soarers at all. Soarer central has been undoubtedly my only source of information on the car. As these cars are a fair decade old the will obviously require some care and maintenance.

Which is all very well covered on this forum.

I am very happy with it

This is a nice discussion, but go have it elsewhere. The thread title is "Pics of Fibreglass bonnets", not "this forum sucks".

Start a new thread about forum useability and I'll gladly comment. Right now I want to see pics of bonnets, and information on how much and where to get them.

Ignore the hater....this site is awesome. I truly enjoy the adult nature (usually) of this site, the lack of text speak and the fact that every time someone posts a message there is not some pic of them or their car or some other crap and some stupid quote at the bottom they think is cool.

I have tried some of these other sites that display all the above and find it near on impossible to follow the thread because of all the peripheral crap that goes with the post.
Thats assuming that there is anything worth reading in the first place, not just a bunch of bickering.........
My 2c anyway
