  1. I firmly believe the MT has put enormous effort into the new forum and now it has become familiar we can see the benefits. The 'Marketplace, however, is an exception as it is clearly causing confusion. 

    Some you win, some you lose.....with this one I feel it's time to admit it was a mistake!

  3. Thanks Ian.

    Is the black housing simply to retain the other end of the spindle or does it have another function?

    Quote JK: Thanks. As above, this is going to help someone someday. *thumb_up*

  4. I can only go by the functionality of the old BC as this is where I originally created the photo galleries (can't call them blogs TBH).

    Yes, It was different - adding single or multiple photos using the standard browse>upload functionality allowed cropping and rearranging (drag and drop) in the blog before saving. This gave the user the size and scroll sequence when viewing or hovering.

    I think the main problem I experience with upgrades - both with the web-site and the new BC format -, is the fact that one doesn't know if something is no longer available or simply a glitch. I'm not bothered if its gone, I'd just like to know...!

    The other niggle is we are expected to fumble in the dark and learn by trial and error. *banghead*

  5. I can see all the photos in Edit>Media.

    Added a new photo but still not able to see in normal view mode - also the 'drag and drop' facility to arrange photos appears to have disappeared.

    I have a feeling "this doesn't work with Firefox or XP" rapidly approaching the site administrator's lips. *getmecoat*

  6. Hi Jonathan,

    It's not a blog in the true sense of the word as there is no writing or articles.

    On the old BC blog page I had three folders containing a dozen or so photographs from each category. All I have now is a single photograph from each as you can see from your link.

  7. Hi Chris,

    Yes, I removed the redundant male poppers and utilised the holes which, on mine, went straight through to the scuttle tube. I then put the male poppers on top and screwed down - effectively sandwiching the mirror mounting pad - to enable me to continue using a tonneau (does that make sense?).

    What I didn't mention was that the aero I screwed directly to the scuttle was an RiF version which had a flush mirror mounting pad, whereas the CC version is slightly stepped to accommodate the poppers IIRC. Down side of using self tappers is they will eventually wear the holes. I believe some have sucsessfully used rivnuts to avoid this happening.

    The rubber piped edging used on the rear wings works equally as well and can be easily glued to the underside of the aero.

    Not the best photo but you can see the male popper studs which retain the mirror pad.

    P.S.

    Memories keep percolating to the surface...!

    I used the same aero on two cars and the first fitted like a glove. The second, however, had a gap of approx. 3mm on the passenger side. I subsequently discovered that it was the scuttle being distorted by the wiper spigot nut pulling it out of shape - release this and it would spring back into a perfect contour.....never did fix it. *rage*

    Upon reflection, the piped edging is the better option as it has plenty of rubber to facilitate gluing and the piping masks larger gaps.
