A PistonHeads Whats What

[Ballistic Banana]

It has come to my attention recently that a few PHers dont know all that The Forums and Ph as a whole has to have to offer.

I will start it off and hopefully we can all add and make this a reference thread for new and old users.

Did you know there is A FAQ ( Frequently Asked Questions) and A ABOUT for each Forum in the navbar above under This Forum wheich are full of usefull information in The different Marque forums.

Also did you know you could Add a car to "Your Profile" and keep traclk of all cost and it works out the daily/monthly/yearly cost for it along with mpg etc etc

Over to you .......

Ok, me next:

Did you know you can choose to have the gassing page show only your favourite forums ?

[Einion Yrth]

Surely anything in this thread should be in the FAQs?

[paulie-mafia]

You can also link your profile to all of your mates' in the profile preferences area.

I am currently billy no mates

Whats New -> My Stuff from the drop down menu is fantastic for seeing what forums you have started/contributed to and whether they have been updated with new posts.


Edited to correct spelling - oh yeah you can edit to correct spelling by hitting edit...

If a new member gives a vague reference to being female, you must embarrass the male population by letching at them in a sad and desperate manner in the hope they will have joined a motoring website solely with the intention of getting laid.

O.K., I admit it................I'm just a thick Skoda driver. I've also been a thick Vauxhall, Ford, Honda, Peugeot, Lotus 7, Testarossa, Landie, Merc, Buick (Yuk), Dodge (double yuk) and other makes driver. Where, please are the destructions for posting 'photo's etc along with comments ?

[_dan_]

To post a photo type [pic] www.somesite.com/pic.jpg [/pic] - (minus the spaces)

The photo has to exist somewhere on the internet, you can't put up a photo direct from your PC. It must be uploaded to a website/webspace somewhere. There are plently of free picture hosting websites knocking around. Sure someone will post them below.

To quote someone or make up a quote, type [ quote=someone]something[/quote ] - (again take the spaces out)

This will give you....
