The Goodwood Forum (GRRC)

[RichB]

I know only a few people frequent it but I noticed today that the GRRC Members Only section of the Goodwood forum seems to have disappeared. Is this the case or is it just yet another bit of fiddling around by the bunch that look after it and they've broken it?

I'm definitely logged on. I was more meaning that there used to be a section that was 'GRRC members only' and that's gone. There's a bit for the "Members Meeting" but that's different and anyway it says it's a public section.

They seem to be doing their best to force GRRC members to Pistonheads. After the FortyOneSix website that lasted all of one year, this current site has been buggy from day-one and now they get rid of the very section that gained the most use! It beggars belief.

...I see exactly the same as your screen shot, but below the 'The GRRC Members’ Meeting – public forum' category at the bottom of your pic, I also see five further categories prefixed 'Members Only:'.

Oh, that's even more annoying - I'll log in again, and I'll do it in Chrome. I recollect the Goodwood website doesn't like IE as the webby said it's not popular.

ETA - Nah, just retied in Chrome and it's teh same, I'm logged in but can't see any of the additional sections. I give up... If anyone's on there post the question for me.

It was hard work using the forum before they started "improving" it. Now it's truly useless.

I actually thought that the Forty One Six forum was OK. The only problems I had with it were the absence of a real members only area and that the spam wasn't controlled.

Thinking back, I was also content with the original GRRC forum. It was very simple, but it more or less worked.

Indeed, thinking back the original forum was the best so far. The problem with 46.1 was that no one from Goodwood took any interest in it and with no moderation the spammers just invaded at will .

Strangley I can post but only in the public sections. It still doesn't recognise me as being a member...

James, can you ask the techies to take a look at this please? I am logged on but cannot see anything other than the public sections of the forum. Thanks Rich...
