Warned. Ignored. Banned. Let's move on

Right come on. Getting fed up off this petty biting. It's tedious and annoying. I didn't set up this forum for it to become a place to moan at bitch at each other. There's a time and place for that: it's called MailOnline. So, everyone, please think before you type: Will my comment offend someone? Because if it does I'll just ban you and move on. Like I've said before - play nice or go play somewhere else

Ok ok ok... it's time to play nicely. This is a forum that's set up for dealers to help other dealers. It's no place for abuse or fisty cuffs. There's enough of that out there ruining the world. Put simply: play nice or go play somewhere else. Life is too short for arguing in forums... go outside and enjoy the fresh air

You wait until you see what we've got planned for 2018! I've just been to the venue in Manchester and it's amazing. So many cool bars and hotels nearby and we'll be hosting it over two days. It's going to be brilliant!

Glad you're enjoying the magazine. We've looked at the like functions and edit bits but they work on our phones (iPhone) and desktop computers. If you can replicate the problem message us via the forum team email address and we'll take a look. We do monitor this forum...

There is a special section for trade only. Details on how to join are posted on it.

Welcome along!

Just FYI all - my tech expert is away this week. I'll harass him as soon as he's back from Germany. Quite why he wanted to go there is another matter altogether

Quite possibly. We have to update regularly to avoid hacking and spammers. I'll look into it next week when I'm in the office with the team and report back.

So many people join this forum and ask questions as dealers who are just starting out, that I've decided to cater for these new dealers with a regular series of features offering help and advice in Car Dealer Magazine. When we've completed the series, I intend to turn it into a bookazine to offer to new dealers so they can get all the advice they've been asking for in this forum. And perhaps it'll give you lot a rest... So my reason for posting is this: If you were going to write a book like this what would the chapters be titled? And before you start with the 'Don't Bother', 'Go And Work At McDonald's' etc ideas, I'm looking to be helpful here... Look forward to hearing your ideas!

Sorry just caught up with this - any issues like this just DM me directly and I'll sort. What browsers is it not working in. It seems to work fine for me and I'm on latest version of Safari on a Mac. Let me know what how you get on, I'm listening

DJI make great drones. We've just bought the new one and it's ace.

69! I couldn't believe that either. I had to get the reporter to check it again

Thanks for your post - but please be aware this is really a forum for dealers. While they may entertain answering you, I wouldn't expect What Car? style advice for nothing. Unless you're paying in bacon sarnies and fifty pound notes

Thanks guys - really useful

Greetings all, Bit of opinion wanted on a spread in the magazine I am thinking about changing. This UK map was designed to showcase lots of dealer news from around the UK, but I am starting to think it looks a bit tired and maybe needs changing for something else. Do you like this spread in the magazine or not? Straw poll... James
