    Not the point. Too many there and very old style. I suppose I could do a couple of clicks and get some from the interweb instead?
    Should be more in the same page you are posting from.
    The ones that are are a poor choice and do not help indicating the intent of the post.
    Look at DISCO4.COM - Index and see the choices they give.
    More positives would help. Why the two lock thread ones?

    The reason I ask is I am mainly interested in Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic, and Series threads, and not really at all interested in D2-D4, Freelander, or newer Range Rover threads therefore it would be great to be able to quickly and easily see only the content I have selected to view, without obviously needing to trawl through each individual category, or scroll past many many uninteresting (to me) threads every time i click on 'New Posts', which can be quite often!
    not currently possible

    What about a one post limit in the cantina after 9PM

    Some people need the sobering light of day to think about what they have said?

    Yes it is a generalisation that it is worse at times of the day

    i might just kill all "inteligent" discussion other than the colour of landrovers i think.

    am over the behavior, intolererance and arrogance displayed by the few.

    just dished out a heap of warnings and deleted a thread.


    if the tone of the place doesnt start picking back up shortly a man will have to take some more serious actions.

    if you don't have something positive to add, don't bother commenting

    if you just comment to incite, dont bother, thats my job...

    if you cant get your point across with out calling people names, don't bother... it's my job.

    if you dont like a post or think it is unbecoming, trollish and / or a personal attack, use the report button so that the mods are alerted and can act as required.

    no wonder they call it the silly season.

    Inc the site is one of the best of any I have seen and is a credit to yourself and majority of members, however...

    I too was happy to see the Soapbox close and would be happy for the Cantina to be gone too.

    There are plenty of places for the folks who have endless hrs to spend posting little more than asenine arguements with anybody who has an opinion different to theirs, especially when it has absolutely nothing to do with LR's.

    As an extra I feel the mods do a great job and dont believe that it is fair for them to have to trawl through these posts when they could probably be doing something far more productive with their time.

    Just my two cents.

    cheers

    I agree, I made an of myself on a subject close to the heart in the last couple of days (no I wasn't one of the people referred to in Inc's post), and as a result have decided not to visit the cantina anymore. I feel my reputation can be destroyed (as can anyone's) too easily because whilst we may all have good intentions to stay on track, it's too easy to get emotional on any given subject. That reputation once damaged will naturally carry over into the other areas of the forum.....I personally don't want that for myself, or to feel that I cannot ask another member for assistance or advice elsewhere because of a mindless argument on Cantina.
    Cheers all .

    I don't form any sort of opinion of anyone by reading a post. and also if you have an opinion in one post that opinion will not be a binding view and you get a clean slate in future posts.

    People need to relax

    even if it is the end of the world have comfort that you chose the right 4WD
