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,

  • Has Classified Section Rules been changed ?

    Simply, can not reply ANY post in classified section (WTS, WTB, Car4Sales, etc).

    Is this a new rule ??

    I've always been a good boy to not post stupid comments in classified section, if this is the new rule I tend to not agree, however I'll respect Admin/Mod's decision.

    yes it is a new thing.
    sorry but the Admin has been slow in getting a notice out telling users of the change.

    if you need to ask a question then just pm or contact the seller.

      Fair enough.
      Then I don't see there is any value of 'What's on eBay' Section, you guy may consider to remove it, just my 2c.

              its takes just as long to answer a PM as it does to type in a thread

              steve, if anyone wants to tell you how to get some borbet A's i am sure they will be able to PM you

              not being about to reply to a thread wont stop you buying or selling an item.


              next question??? lol

                the thing is, the seller might not be able to answer a question which another member could.. so posting can help

                  fair comment and i knew you would say that.

                  but the sell "should" be able to answer all questions..

                  doesnt stop you ringing the person and asking

                      People were just ruining it for others. If you look at other sites they have no issues in classifieds but we always have so the decision was made. Mods and admin need to concentrate on the other parts of the forum classifieds was a drain. Been a long time coming

                      BTW steve 16" borbets look great on a mk1 chief

                        +1, always there are someone else who is more knowledgeable can contribute more information about a WTS/B item. Blocking any post seems to be 2 extreme.

                          I can remember quite a lot of for sale threads that have been ruined by people making comments like "I bought one cheaper on ebay" or "that car isnt worth anywhere near that much!"

                          The way I see it the forum members have brought this upon themselves by abusing the freedom that has been in place. Unfortunately its like being back in school. When someone does something wrong. Everyone gets punished. No point complaining like school children either.

                          I can understand why the it has been done. I can also understand why people are upset about it. But do these upset people have a better solution?

                              So why would other sites that allow responses in ads not have a problem and VWwc does have a problem? What's different?

                              Perhaps they have come up with a solution to a problem that wasn't there?

                              29 mods run off there feet. WTF?
