New Website Design

[Dingo]

Just noticed the Biante frontpage has a new look. Good stuff lads! :D

[VXfan]

Wow.it's certainly diferent!May take a while to get used to it but I definitely like it.:)
Cheers,
Tony.

[TBVX05]

Whats different about it? It looks the same to me! :confused:

[stirlf1]

Looks fantastic. :D

[Chriso]

Looks good Biante :)

Guys (fellow forumers) you might want to just have a quick look in your Watchlist to see if all your cars are there or not.

There was about 4 out of the 30 or so cars that was missing from my Watchlist, but i've gone through the list and put them back in, so no big problem. Apart from that it all looks pretty good.

Woah! Thanks for the heads up. Only problem is my watch list was so big I can't remember everything that was on there! :eek:

[brchi17]

I don't know if it's me, but I am finding that I have to put in my membership details everytime I click on a new page on the new Biante website.......???

cheers :)

[Chriso]

Yeah same here Brad, but the good news is now i'm receiving the 'reply to biante forum' emails that i was having trouble with before.

Having the weekly newsletters on the site is a good idea :)

[wacpt]

not having a problem here. Try clearing your cookies, that might work. I've found that some site that use cookies when changed wont work while you have old cookies.

[HrtTassieFan]

Hat's off to the new Design

Great to see an award winning site get revamped:)

There is only one Section that is missing from the site, No members only Section therefore, no means of checking the points accrued should one wish to use points rather than cash to pay for your purchases:(

You can see that info once you've logged in!

Not only has the watchlist been affected, there seems to be quite a bit of stock missing:confused: Or is work still continuing on the site?

Aside from that, the site looks good!

[BB]

Nice home page. I look forward to investigating further. Things have been a bit hectic around here lately.

How do you get them back on watchlist???? I don't have a link or anything to hit to make it go back on the list.:confused:

Sorry about that MclarenFan, that was my fault (i'd jumped the gun). I'd logged in to the watchlist and i noticed that every time you want to go the next page you have to re-login, so after looking at my list i wrote down what i thought i was missing and then went to the search to see if they were still in the biante system (like HRT said, i looks like some of the stock wasn't listed) but the 4 i was looking for were there (i think that some of the stock has been renamed, like the Team Brocks car are now listed under Bright and Weel, and not Brock). Anyway cos you have to login every time i thought bugger-it, i'll come back later and put them in the watchlist, so come back to forum. Anyway i went back later and like you said there is no watchlist button at the moment. So i've just got them writen down for now. Sorry fellas My Bad!

[Chriso]

that should read "is no Add-To-Watchlist button at the moment."

Thanks for that, i've tried it but it hasn't worked.

Cheers :)

[Chriso]

A thought - cos the site is close for xmas the Add to Watchlist has been turned off. I just assumed that because i was searching while not being logged in that Add to Watchlist didn't appear.

:mad:
Log in on the main page, then click on My Watchlist, then when the page come up saying its invalid just go straight to the left hand side and log in again and when your watchlist should appear. (i hope) ;)

Alright i'm out of here, have a great day everyone.

[Nathan Rzepecki]

Yes the site has undergone some major changes but will be fully up and running by 9th January 2006. The watchlist should be working and as wacpt mentioned you will need to delete your cookies. The site is on a new server and is completly new site not just a re-style. It may be to do with the DNS still changing.

Example, This is the first I have been able to access the forum form home I still get the old website.

Also the database is currently using an almost correct version not the fully correct version so don't worry about watchlist items we have all of your watchlist nothing has been lost. I personally have gone through a number of them cross referenced them and they are there.

More information will become available once the DNS has fully made its way around the net. Any problems you do find post in here and we will attend to.

If you notice products missing and or in funny categories please post here so that we can look into them.

Thank you.

If you're using Internet Explorer, it's under Tools, Internet Options, then there's a button called Delete Cookies.

If you're using Mozilla Firefox, then it's under Tools, Options, Privacy, Cookies.

Be aware that if you delete your Cookies you will have to log into all the sites you visit (like the Biante Forum and Collectors Club) the next time you visit them (ie. the sites won't remember you). Once you've logged in, you should be ok the next time.

[timbo333]

I have deleted all temp files, cookies etc (im using IE6) and i have the same problem logging into the main site.

It logs me in and shows my name but when i click on the next page ie Members Only it hasn't remembered who i'am.

I know its the computer cos i remember who i'am....:o

No doubt these little problems will iron themselves out eventually.

Cheers,

Timbo.

[Nathan Rzepecki]

I have only just been able to access the site from home. I have tested a few peoples account. It does appear to show that you are logged out the first time you login in but navigate a couple of pages and then it appear to be fine.

[Odin]

Found perhaps another bug, searched the wrecks section, it gave me a list of all scales, even though I selected 1:18, and all sold out wrecks items (which it says doesn't exist when you click on them)

apart from that i like the new design.

[Nathan Rzepecki]

It should only return this one item

OK, I was to quick to judge. :o You can check your points once you've logged in.

However, there still is no 'members only' Section:(

[wayno]

Is there any way you can change your user ID? I find remembering Biante????? a real pain. It's not something I always use and have resorted to Nortons automatically filling in the form to remember the details. That doesn't help if I want to log on from another computer though.

[TBVX05]

yeah its probably the only site which has a pre arranged user ID ! Hopefully they fix the login so you dont have to type it in all the time!

[Esses]

The other way is to install a cache & cookie washer. We got one off a "PC User" Mag complimentary disc. Works beautifully. Washing 1200-odd files is commonplace. The free Ad-Blocker, Anti-Spyware software available is good insurance, too.

Nice look on the new site, no ptoblems here so far & I've got the updates back.:)

I must admit it would be good to be able to change me membership username as well for the same reason as Wayno.

My collector's club username was selected by Richard way back years ago when the one I selected wouldn't work and he fixed it for me.

cheers. :)

Is this just because it's too difficult to change or is it just to be annoying?

[Nathan Rzepecki]

The generated usernames are built into the system. We do not have any plans to modify this at this point in time.

So all we have to do Wayno is remember that we're a number, not a person :p :D LOL !!!

[wayno]

I'll just have to keep transferring my user ID into my work diary each year then it seems.

[Dingo]

Doesn't matter what I do, the Collectors Club forgets my details between pages... :confused:

[wayno]

Having another issue. Sometimes when I go to my direct link in favourites I get the old web site. Earlier in the day I could access the forum through this. Then later on I couldn't.
I've just tried again and am getting the new page now. I deleted all cookies, internet history, etc before and that still didn't resolve the problem.
This is driving me nuts! :mad:

[LC Torana]

Same here……. Very annoying

And in my watchlist, only the first in each category is in the correct category, the rest are inder some other category.
BRL are Display items, LeMans are Military, Road cars are Taxi’s and Touring cars are Vans…. And I have sold out items I deleted from my watchlist long ago back in there again, and I cant delete them now because my account details are invalid…again

[wayno]

I got here through the 'old' web site this time. :confused:
I wish I could work out what the hell was going on!

[sleepy]

yes im having trouble with the collectors club as well having to log in all the time from page to page..

[wacpt]

Geez, u guys are hard to please, Nathan said it was a completely new site, so there are bound to be a few bugs. I reckon put up with it till they have time to sort them out

[LC Torana]

Feedback on the probs users are having will help fix the bugs

[wacpt]

Contstructive Feedback is good, being a programmer, we need this info and bugs can be annoying to the users, but since today is the first non-public holiday since the change over, maybe a bit of consideration wouldn't go astray. I havent been a part of this but I definately know what its like to be on their side of the fence trying to sort these little problems out.

Nathan said it will be all fixed by the 9th, so lets give them a chance to iron them out.

Sorry but I have little to no patience for whingers.

Looking at listed models in "Find a Model", "Aust.AA" section. All seem to have year model of vehicle in brackets in description line til we get to Page 9 when they have two "Years" listed in most cases, the year model, plus (2002). ????

Thanks for that Nathan, and the Login works fine now, but you still cant enter an item into your watchlist!

[Nick Short]

On "Find a Model" the scale select button doesn't work for me - once you're in you can refine the search by scale, but not until you've called up hundreds of models of all scales first.

[LC Torana]

Well done Nathan and the team, is working great now…. can go to my watchlist and other pages without having to sign in everytime :)

Will look into this one not sure. On the product details page it appears to have the correct information as it was.

Incorrect. Once you start typing a key word into the search box then the scale option becomes available.

[Nathan Rzepecki]

Watchlists have all come accross I have checked many of them. The only items that are missing are items that are now sold out they have been removed.

[TBVX05]

What about adding items onto your watchlist?

[V8SS]

Originally posted by Nathan Rzepecki

I've only got about 5 items on my watchlist and things like the 2005 HRT cars in 1:43rd have dropped off. I have no problem adding them back on myself but just thought you should know.

[Nick Short]

Nathan, I was typing in the word first and then moving the cursor over to the scale button, and it wasn't working. Once the search facility had found 5000 models it would then allow me to refine my search by scale.

I've got the same problem, there is 5 items and all the 1/43 v8 models have disappered from the watchlist.

cant add anything either

When I log onto the Biante website (not the forum), sometimes I get the new website and then next time I log on, I get the old website.
I have deleted my cookies but that doesn't help.

At work I get the new website all the time.

Any ideas....

Thanks in advance.

I'm still getting the same problem as well frosty. I've tried everything I can think of, but haven't been able to work it out.

You're not alone there, wayno.
I am the same.

[fomoco04]

Mine works perfectly except for the watchlist which only has 4 items in it. There's heaps missing and I can't add any.
Other than that the sites fantastic.

[wacpt]

When I log onto the Biante website (not the forum), sometimes I get the new website and then next time I log on, I get the old website.

This is indicative of cacheing. Everytime you visit a site, pages are cached to enable fast loading next time you visit it. This cacheing can occur on you machine and also on your ISP's proxy server.

On your machine, if you are using IE, go to TOOLS-Internet Options and in the general tab under Temporary Interent files, click delete files.

In firefox, go to tools, options/privacy/cache and click cache.
This will get rid of all the downloaded pages etc of your system. The next time the page loads maybe a bit slower the first time as it refreshes all the pages. If the pages are being stored on the ISP proxy server, this will clear over time.

Being able to get it right at work not home is because of differnet machines and ISP's

You are indeed correct, the problem I had mentioned is no longer evident. Same with most of the other glitches that we "early birds" picked up on. Whilst I'm at it, 10/10 for the new "Watchlist" format !!! :)

[TBVX05]

Another couple of glitches:

1. You cant add an item onto your watch list

2. There are mistakes with the category listing of the watchlist. For example, there is a 'Formula 1' heading on my watchlist and it shows Biante Racing Legends cars underneath.

Hopefully these can be fixed by the 9th.

I've got the same problem as TBVX05

[frosty]

Hi Nathan,
Looking good.

Another 'teething problem'.

When I use the Find A Model, I can no longer use "australia develop" or "australia transit" or "australia production" to find the australian models. It shows 0 (zero) results.

Will this be rectifed? or is there a workaround?

PS: I also have the same problem as TBVX05 and V8SS. My watchlist headings are completely stuffed. eg most of my australia cars appear under ENGINE.

[chups]

has anyone else had a problem of when the logged in it comes up with welcome GARRY?????
i think something went a little bit wrong there. all my pms and stuff are all mine but at the top of the page it says welcome garry ?????

[bostonwayne]

My Id is 15791 and half of my watchlist is missing and the ones that are there are in the wrong catagaries as well thanks

[Nathan Rzepecki]

Are looking into the watchlist issue. Appears to just be a mistake with the query. The products are in the correct categories on the website so it is only the watchlist that has this problem.

Items that were sold out and still on your watchlist have been removed. This is a tidy up task that will be done for all sold out items in the future also.

Will look into the other points also.

[Nathan Rzepecki]

When I use the Find A Model, I can no longer use "australia develop" or "australia transit" or "australia production" to find the australian models. It shows 0 (zero) results.

This is not a feature that we know worked before. If it was something that worked it was from pure luck because it was not designed in that way. This is not something that has been built into the new site to search on availbility status.

[Nick Short]

Most of my watchlist cars are in the wrong categories, but the last one of each category is correct! So I'll have a load of DTM cars listed as "Le Mans", but the very last car in the category will be a Le Mans car. Then the next category will be headed "rally cars" but will actually be the rest of my Le Mans cars, with the last one being a rally car. Then the next category is listed as "Road car" but will be the rest of my rally cars, except the last one which will be a road car! And so on.

And I have several entries on the watchlist that have no picture and no title, just a number. When you click on it the details come up, but as listed there is no information. Models that have no picture usually at least say what they are, but these entries don't even give that.

[Nick Short]

Finally, I am still having trouble with the "Find a model" function that Nathan insisted I was wrong about! I enter, say, "falcon" and then move across to the scale button, and the words "please select" are written in mauve and the button is completely inoperational. If I click back to the home page and try again I sometimes find that "please select" is now written in black and the button is fine, otherwise I have to call up all scales and then search by scale afterwards.

[Nick Short]

When the button works correctly I notice that it is inoperational when the entry box is blank, and when I type in just one letter it remains inoperational, but after typing a second letter the mauve script turns black and the button works. There must be a bug that sometimes makes the button remain inoperational and "please select" to stay mauve.

[Nathan Rzepecki]

You should be able to add to watchlist again.

[V8SS]

Mine seems to back to normal again now. All the "missing" models are now on my watchlist.
Thanks Nathan.

[TBVX05]

Yeah thanks Nathan everything seems fine now.

[tonynz]

At work all that comes up is the old web site, here at home and dialing up on my lap top using data card I get the new site.
Will have to check the settings on the server at work,
seems strange.

[wacpt]

As i mentioned before, this is a caching problem. If your work has a proxy server installed, it will still have the old site in its memory

[brchi17]

Originally posted by wacpt

So to ask the question, how would we update this from the old one to the new one, is it just a matter of refreshing or do we have to actually do something ???

many thanks :)

[wacpt]

You will need to get your IT guy to delete the cached files. The education dept. Not sure if they are running local proxy servers or they go through a central server. I know in WA, they have a global internet network with all internet going through a cluster of centralised proxy servers.

Best you ask your IT guys

[brchi17]

thanks for the answer, I know we have a local proxy at the office, so when I go back to work I'll get our it guru to do it for me.

Many thanks ;)

One think i noticed on the old site that hasnt changed is you have to delete your watch list items one by one you cant go down the list once ticking a box as you go like ebay and the delete in one hit. will make it easier and might reduce peoples watch list items

What a great idea ;) !!!

I too find this to be a bit of a bug bear especially as a lot of my watch list is the minicars and when a bulk pack etc is released it does take some time to remove the ones I've just bought.

cheers. :)

Will keep this in mind for future changes. It is different how it works now and should be faster to add and to remove though.

[Chriso]

I've just had a look in on the new site and all is working spot on. (sorry for jumping in early and being a pain).
Thanks Nathan.

Cheers, Chris :)

[brchi17]

Nathan,
the new forum looks a little different, but it appears to be very good, well done :cool:

I've just got a little question for you.

In the new pm sections of the site how do you actually delete the unwanted pm's, as I've found that I've got 160 of them - I wasn't aware there was so many to start with :o

I found the boxes to tick to select them, but I couldn't find a Delete button to click on.

Many thanks,

Oh did I say the new forum looks good, well done. :cool:

[Malik]

how do you order from the website?

the email said the pr2 car is in.. but there's no "order me" button that I Can see...

EDIT... Nevermind... I found it.

[lukey73]

Um im confused, i have recieved emails about the twinset being available in 1:18 on the website yet i cant buy it as there is no part to "add to cart". I then get emails saying its "limited stock".

Can someone clarify whats going on please.

Thanks
Luke

[tonynz]

I must be stupid cause I can't find the order or edit button on the 2 car set
Tony

[wayno]

Can't find the delete button in pm's myself Brad. I'm sure it's there. I'm probably just not looking hard enough.

[tonynz]

I an really stupid as soon as I went back I can order it.

[Chriso]

There seems to be no add-to-cart on item page ie: kelly set, but there is a add-to-cart buttons when your on the list of cars page ie: type in todd kelly in the search box and this will bring up a list of all his cars, about the 10th one down. Good luck fellas.

I got one and i'm very happy chappy :)

[GSXR1]

I linked to the twin-set through the watchlist update email and there is definitely an 'add to cart' button there on my screen...

[wayno]

I think this is my problem, but instead of the smilies I'm getting a white box with a red cross in it.

[GSXR1]

It looks like all the PMs I've 'deleted' on the old forum were actually archived, and have reappeared on the new forum, as I've got a whole heap I'm sure I cleaned up ages ago as well.

At the bottom of the PM page (where you tick the boxes) is a box marked 'Move to folder...' - Click on the arrow in the box and a range of options comes up, one of them being delete.

[GSXR1]

I think this is my problem, but instead of the smilies I'm getting a white box with a red cross in it.
I get that as well, but only it seems on smilies in posts off the old forum, as the smilies brad has put in his post earlier today show up OK

[Tumbo]

Lost all my PMs....nothing there at all. Tried downloading them, the same- just d'leted them, not a happy camper

[KiwiRallyFan]

I've just discovered this new forum format...I think I like it, but it certainly is different.

I also just clicked on the Members List, then the Posts heading. It makes really interesting reading on who does the most talking here. I didn't realise I was so high!

BTW, it looks like we all have the same birthday.......

[Dingo]

I'm actually glad that all my old PM's came back, as I saw one that was a very nasty one (that I hadn't actually seen before) from TBVX05... :D

[singer]

Navigating your way through this new Forum is a nightmare.

I've managed to Delete my entire Inbox & I can't read any of my pm's, any of the threads I was subscribed to and I can't read any of the posts that other people send except for the Title .

Hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon

[brchi17]

Nathan,
I wonder if it's possible to get the old Red Biante colour scheme back, as currently it looks too much like every other forum on the net :D ?

Otherwise apart from us having to learn how to use the new forum, it appears to be quite good - well i think it is anyway

cheers :cool:

[GSXR1]

Exploring a bit further I found the same as some others - I have a long list of PMs, but they are titles only, when you go into them there is no content to them at all. :eek:

[brchi17]

I too have found this, but pm's that I've received tonight have all been there, so perhaps they got lost in the transition from the old to the new ???

At least now I can delete both forwards and backwards and I can bold and italics things just like I do when I use msWord, etc.....

cheers.

ps, there is also a spell check icon too, might have to try that one later :p

I cannot PM my buddies because they have all got overloaded PM Boxes all bar one:confused: where as prior to the upgrade I could PM:rolleyes:

I had 169 PM in the UPGRADED Forum whereas in the old <30 which I could access. In the UPGRADE I can only look at TITLES not the CONTENT.

[brchi17]

.....I cannot PM my buddies because they have all got overloaded PM Boxes all bar one:confused: where as prior to the upgrade I could PM...

Sorry Ken, next time I won't be so fast in deleting all those headings next time :p

I know what you mean though, even some pm's that I received yesterday can not be read on this new forum, so perhaps it's just a glitch between the two programs.

I think once the word goes out and people realise they need to delete all those headings things will return to what we used to know as normal.

At least with the new pm's it appears (at least to me) to be quicker to delete messages as you can delete pages of messages with a single click

cheers.

[singer]

Yeah you are John. John is good with making graphics

Guess what Nathan's doing as we speak;)

If John is Good with the Graphics then Nathan must be the Programmer Extrordinaire;):eek:

Thanks to John and Nathan for your responces :cool:

I wonder if we need a little help thread on the forum (say something like Biante forum for dummies :o )with a few hints and tips from you guys regarding some of the things that are different etc, between this new and the old forum.......

cheers. :)

[Nathan Rzepecki]

You should now be able to keep more pms than you know what to do with.

[GSXR1]

You're not wrong there!

Can you confirm if the content of previous PM's is now lost forever, or is it retrievable do you think?

Cheers

PS I appreciate the fact you're working on these bugs 'after hours' Nathan...:cool:

Nathan, nothing major...just on in main site i noticed in the members only section that the bonus points are at full price (unless of course that is how there are to be from now).

Now i know your going to be shaking your head at this one, but i've lost my Reply To Post emails again, after only just getting them back the other week, hehe!

I don't know know about what happens at your end, but now on my system the forum opens in it's own new window, with the Biante homepage still open in the original window, so you can jump between the Biante site and the forum site at will, whereas previously when I clicked on the forum buttom on the old Biante homepage it opened the forum in the same window.

I'm not going to say but lets just say I was shocked, but then there was 278 images.......

I wonder when/if we'll see a return to the old Biante Red backgrounds as I really miss it.

To be honest it kind of reminds me of another forum that I vowed never to return to several years ago, so I have to check each time to make sure I'm not going back on my word......

cheers.

[wayno]

I just checked that myself. I had a few in the forum members oics thread, but when I click on them to open they seem to be empty. All I get is a blank screen? :confused:

Now it's starting to look more like the place I know and love! ;) :D

It's starting to look better :D

First was the Biante logo, then a little bit of red, I'm not too sure about this orange, but I'm sure I'm viewing it all as it happens and hence they're not finished yet.

cheers.

[DamienT]

That logo at the top of the page looks a bit pixelated... i'm sure some of us graphic design types can facilitate a nice clean one!

[lukey73]

Good to see a bit more colour, the blue was abit boring after awhile.

Admin is it possible to get a classified section up on the forum. I know there is the auction site but with a few posts lately refering to people selling there collection maybe it might be worthwhile adding this feature.

Also, can I suggest everyone goes into their UserCP and updates some of their details, especially the 'location'. I find it really useful to know where people live.

Site looks so much better now. Feels more like home

[the_goldie]

I don't know about the site looking better... The colours are all over the place now, sorry, but it looks terrible. Maybe the red needs a gardient in it like what the blue had?? Have to agree with Brad about the orange as well... I just hope there are more colour changes and this is just the start -- sorry guys.
The BIANTE logo looks like it has been resized from a smaller image as it looks pixellated.

[frosty]

I am colour blind and the new colours looks great. :D

[Nathan Rzepecki]

Much better. Any idea where our attatchments are from the old forum? Only reason I ask is I'll delete mine from my user cp if they're gone and re-do them.

They are still all on the forum I am trying to work out why it can't find them. Will look into it again today.

[brchi17]

Fantastic Nathan, I know it's not a lot but the return of the colour red does seem to make the place look a lot like home again ;)

Also the Biante logo also now appears to be an appropriate size as the previous one looked a little over enlarged. Would it be possible to put a HOME link back on the forum so that we can jump back onto the Biante homepage, lie the old one used to do ?

One thing I am struggling to do Nathan, can we on do links to websites like we used to where we could have text showing on the page instead of the ulr, like what some of us have done in our signatures ?

Keep up the good work as it is appreciated.

cheers. :)

[wayno]

Lol! I didn't say anything about posting the web site links as I thought I just couldn't work it out. :eek:
I don't see why we need the homepage link. When we go to the forum it comes up in a new window. The main site stays open, and you can just work between the two sites.
That's what I do anyway.

[castkrazy]

Hi Nathan , in the find a model section I used to find wanted models and track their progress with typing in categories such as production planned , development approved and in production etc which really helped me plan my purchases and know what models were coming and roughly when , but unfortunately when I type in the categories mentioned it says " 0 products found " and I wanted to know whether these categories will be functional again as they were in the past .

The in transit section does help but these other categories were of great assistance too and complemented the in transit listing that you also provide on the website .



Cheers Jim . :)

Dunno, in this case i have gone to the "quote" bit on your post,started typing, clicking on icon ..now...

And its gone up the top again!!!

[VXfan]

Just had to say that the 'watchlist' facility is heaps better now that it puts the models in catorgories(i.e Touring Cars,Road Cars etc).Much easier to find what I am looking for (useful for people like me with well over 50 cars in my watchlist!)

Hi Nathan , in the find a model section I used to find wanted models and track their progress with typing in categories such as production planned , development approved and in production etc which really helped me plan my purchases and know what models were coming and roughly when , but unfortunately when I type in the categories mentioned it says " 0 products found " and I wanted to know whether these categories will be functional again as they were in the past .

The in transit section does help but these other categories were of great assistance too and complemented the in transit listing that you also provide on the website .



Cheers Jim . :)

I do not ever remember this feature working on the old site.

We have the In Transit which you know about. The Models Just Added will show you development approved items for the first 14 days.

I used to type the categories I listed in the Keywords part of quick search , never had a problem on the old website and they always came up no problems .

did anyone else use to do this as it was the best way of knowing what was in the pipeline , I can't believe I can no longer do this because it was the best way of not missing out on up and coming models and allowed me plenty of time to pre-order models without missing out . :(

Definately was always on there Nathan...

How else does one find out what is in Production without searching through an entire list!

What if one is on holidays and misses a model put into the Just added section?

On the old website, one would search for eg "Lowndes In Production" or "Lowndes Planned"...

Why have the different categories IF they are not searchable?

Regards

castcrazy,

I used to use the following search words and they worked brilliantly.
"australia develop" "australia production" and "australia transit"

Nathan told me earlier in this thread, "This is not a feature that we know worked before. If it was something that worked it was from pure luck because it was not designed in that way. This is not something that has been built into the new site to search on availbility status."
They did work and it's a pity that they don't anymore.

I hadn't seen that post earlier in the thread, but its rubbish!

It was a request on this forum, and was a feature that was ADDED to the previous version of the find-a-model...

My post was number 94 and Nathan's reply was number 98.

[Oh Five]

Are you using the drop down menu at the top (that gave me the smiley at the top),

OR the menu to the right (which gave me this one --->:D )

Cheers
Buggered if i know... i cant see any menu on the right...

I agree, being able to search based upon In Production was very important for me personally, simply to see what was likely to be released in the next 3-4 months.

LOL :D !!!

Guys lets all remember that Nathan has not been with the company since day one and hence why he may not be aware of the production planned, development approved and in transit items in the search section of the website.

I must admit, for me it was one of the most valuable tools to use as I would place an Australian in front of it and it gave me a very good idea of what was coming.

Hopefully this can be added soon as it's something that makes planning our purchases a hell of a lot easier, hint, hint ;)

cheers. :)

Yeah, Nathan is only 23, what a lucky son of a gun! ;)

Go into your User cp, click on edit options, scroll down to Miscalleneous options and select Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG Editing...then click on Save Options

That should get you the panel on the right;)

Yes, agree, but then people shouldn't go quoting LUCK (http://forums.biante.com.au/showpost.php?p=130614&postcount=98) as the reason it did work...

This thread just highlights to me that there was not enough research and understanding of the old website and forum, and far less beta testing of the new ones before they went live!

More than just a few start-up niggles:rolleyes:

How do you get notified that someone has placed a post on a thread which you are subscribed to?????:confused:

Don't worry about this question as I've sussed it:D

[timbo333]

I have tried updating my member details a few times now since the website was updated. It does not update. Instead it still has my old delivery address details which is what i'm trying to update.

I click on the update button, which then reloads the same page, with the corrected details but when you leave that area and re-check your 'Member Details' the old address is back. Please correct this as i am not confident of ordering through the website until this is fixed. Many thanks.

Cheers,

Timbo.

[TBVX05]

PM Nathan and he can fix it for you.

Is this just me? I just voted in the models you would like to see poll and after I'd voted the thread under the results (which were correct) related to some poll about an incident between two drivers? :confused:
Or should I just ease back on the bourbon?

[TBVX05]

Same here, sometimes when you vote you are trasfered to another thread! :confused:
