Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    Every time the forum loads, it seems to fully load up then pause for a second and then scroll up slightly. Drives me absolutely bat **** insane. I believe its got to do with the ads at the bottom. It loads the page then loads the ad separately perhaps?

    It is incredibly frustrating on an ipad too. You touch the screen, it scrolls and you end up on a different forum...

      Use adblocker as it is the ad image that pops the forum up.

        I get it on my iPad too... It drives me ****ing nuts!! I have the Tapatalk interface on my phone, but I hate it on my iPad. Why do we have so many ****ing ads on this forum now!! Surely the sponsors provide enough money to run the forum??

        Also while I am ranting, let's ease up the swear blocker a bit... I can't even write my suburb on here, which is ****son, but I have to write Dikson... It's not like I am writing ****, **** or ****...

                I think it's particularly bad from an advertisers perspective because they're probably getting statistics that show plenty of clicks on their ad, when in reality it's because when i go to click the 'last' button for a thread before that last item has loaded, I end up on clicking the ad.

                  I have noticed pages taking a bit longer to load up recently, but not the scrolling issue although using a laptop not tablet.

                  I've also had the forum randomly logging me out over the last week, even when I have the remember me box ticked. Don't think my browser is resetting the cookies as it is only happening on here. It's a pain when searching cos it keeps resetting where you are up to in new thread lists etc. Anyone else?

                  Any hosting changes Aaron?

                    +1 for scrolling issues. And please get rid of the Google search, it's always last to load and F*%KS up what ever you try to click on. PITA!

                      OK Guys, I'm looking into what can be done to speed things up a little.

                      It seems that Google search bar was a major factor in causing slow downs so it has been removed and replaced with a new "Google Search VWWatercooled" Button which brings up a custom search. For those that use it, the Google search can do a far better job than the built in vBulletin search, especially if you want to search for two letter words.

                      Let me know how things are performing now?

                      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

                          The old Google search was much better, than the new one.

                            This still keeps happening for me in IE9. Anyone else? Seems like it logs me out if I've opened too many tabs eg right-click from the new posts results etc
