Your PMs are sending. They will remain in your outbox until they are opened by the recipient. You can't post in that section because we used to have the option to pay for an upgraded membership (and this helped keep people from posting junk in that section). I've changed it so that you can post...

Good catch! I've made the 'active topics' link a top level link.

Transfer is complete! There are still a few things to iron out and but the part that required the site to be inaccessible is completed. If you notice anything that isn't working, please let me know. Thanks, Mike

In short, don't panic if the site is unreachable for a period in the next 5-7 days! Tentatively planned for March 18, 2022 In order to keep the forum running smoothly, we've decided to upgrade the server that this site lives on. Since the server is so much newer and better, we have to upgrade...

BMW put out some winter tire testing information specifically for the i3. It's summarized on this page: http://www.electricvehiclewiki.com/wiki/bmw-i3-winter-tires-i3-winter-tyres/ There is also some information under the research tab at the top under "Guide: Best snow tire for EV"

Spam has been deleted and user banned - thanks to those forum users who flagged the posts. Mike p.s. The site WAS NOT HACKED. A spammer simply signed up and started posting junk on the forum

Hi Bob, If you are logged in and mark a user as a 'foe', then when you are logged in, that users posts are mostly hidden from your view. Are you seeing something different?

Full post here: https://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6339&start=20#p58685 This is what we're doing: We could make all new users go through a manual moderation process before they can post, but that's a lot of work. It's a different type of work I guess - one is deleting spam...

Hi Everyone, here's a quick update: Sorry for all the spam - I am trying to check the board daily and delete and ban IPs as necessary. We have updated the forum software, including the anti-spam plugin that connects to stopforumspam.com database. We have also added recaptcha to the...

That's unfortunate

Ok, upped the mark required to pass the anti-spammer test, and also added recaptcha to the registration page. We'll get 'em eventually!

Thanks - yes, it'll take a bit of tweaking the settings etc. For example, the one spammer only had a rating of '3' in the database, and by default, the setting I had was '5' so they weren't blocked automatically. (now I've lowered the setting to '3')

Hey everyone, If you tried to access the forum this morning, it wouldn't have worked! I had to take the forum down to upgrade it, so the good news is that now we're running the latest and greatest anti-spam software that uses the StopForumSpam database. Thanks Tom (moderator) for all the spam...

Working on it now! After spam is all gone, I'll be looking into adding more anti-spam stuff in the next couple days. I am responsible for this forum .... :)

Great topic, thanks! Of course it's in my best interest to get more people involved here and less on Facebook.... :D Currently, we have a single moderator, Tom Moloughney, who has been doing an amazing job of keeping the forum clean! File and Image Uploading Correct - no images and files can...

Sorry for the slow reponse! Text is now black

The post text is the same size as the old format. The quotes are slightly smaller to save space. Perhaps it's more of a color issue? The text is more of a dark grey, maybe black would increase readability? Edit: Just thought of this - what size screen are you viewing it on? Desktop/tablet/phone?

Are you talking on this page: http://www.mybmwi3.com/forum/search.php?search_id=active_topics Every topic I see there has an icon. Which topic doesn't have one for you?

L33t, this should be fixed now. I don't have an iphone but tests on my android show it's fixed. Could you please confirm?

These would be the big ones that are noticeable:
