    Aha, thanks.

    I was getting really confused.....

    Couldn't post.
    Couldn't PM to ask why.
    Couldn't used 'contact us' on the bottom of the page, get error message.
    Couldn't use 'About - contact us' on front page - couldn't find a 'send' button.
    Couldn't reply to 'welcome' email - dunno why.

    Only today did I notice at the bottom of the page that I had reply rights.

    I was thinking of posting about my day in a race-spec Ferrari 360 last week, are Photobucket thumbnails and video links acceptable?

    We start any venture with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before we empty the bag of luck.

    We have an attachment system that we use here- when you click 'Post Reply', you'll see a 'Manage Attachments' button just below the posting area. Find them on your C-Drive, and they'll remain here for yonks

    Video links are cool, as far as I know

    Look forward to seeing it!

    Good day,

    We have made some modifications to point 2 of the guidelines: http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/forum...q_new_faq_item
    It's now forbidden to use hidden (white) text.

    Thanks and kind regards,
    Wouter
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Any reason why? I haven't seen that function being abused anywhere.

    Why would you want to post something that is impossible to read?

    I don't really want to be rude or something, but are there any exceptions on the 'white text' rule? I was thinking about the jokes thread where people can 'hide' the answer from a joke by using white text.

    I just want to know how flexible the rules are, just because I can understand people want to use the white text for that. For the rest, I understand the rule...

    It can be used like that, but then clearly state that there is white text and why it is there.

    Yes, but I don't want to mark the entire forum to make sure I miss nothing.
