Where's the list of Independents gone?

[Collectingbrass]

I could swear there used to be a list of Independents in the stickys at the top (among all the win a drive in an XXX BMW tosh) but it seems to have disappeared, or is it just me?

Nope, it was definitely there. Hope it hasn't been removed by more of the pistonheads bullst classing it as a advert rather than a useful tool for members. How far pistonheads has stoooped under Haymarket

Don't really know why I'm bothering after that post,

Anyway collectingbrass Cane you throw anymore light on the thread, I've done a limited search, didn't find anything.

The reason I ask is there is no reason that I can see as to why a thread of that nature would be removed.

I thought that perhaps it had had it's sticky removed and it has fallen down the listing, but I still can't find anything.

I'll flag this up in the mods forum and see if the techies can find anything.

Despite what some members think, we will help when ever we can to answer any questions/queries that members have.

I actually noticed a couple of weeks ago that it had been edited been by someone who'd managed to break it by removing all of the indies, and adding just a single one in their place.

I reported it to the mods and asked for the original version to be restored, but then forgot all about it - I wonder if my report was misinterpreted and the thread was deleted instead?

It was always possible for anyone to amend it, with both positive and negative outcomes.

OK Found your report:-

You said:- Not inappropriate, but wiki has been damaged - is it possible to restore to previous version?

We did try to reboot that Wiki to no avail, I'll try and see if the techies can reinstate the original.

We do get a lot of Wiki Damage, not the easiest things to amend/add stuff.

I run the owners ones in the TVR forums they can be a nightmare to repair if you don't pick up errors regularly.

If that's the case then I'm sorry for what I said. It's just with some threads disappearing due to supposed commercial content I put 2 and 2 together and got 5.

Maybe if it can't be restored we start a new one which will update the info with current guys so are giving a good service?

Thanks for looking Al, it was the thread you picked up from the previous report. I hadn't wanted to flag it to the Mods if it had been removed for a valid reason I had missed.

As I've said, I did try to recover the corrupted one Nah it wasn't having any....

Anyway I've flagged it up and lets see if we can find an older version.

I'll keep you posted. If we can't I'm happy to help with construction of a new Wiki.

[Big Al.]

OK latest update!

Found the original thread and all appears OK, however I've posted on it, unstuck it, re stuck it, and still it won't appear in the BMW forum list.

Got the techies finding out WTF is up with it.

I'll keep you posted.

I have no connection with the BMW forum but well done to Big Al for making an effort to restore

this wiki .
Mods get far too much grief flung at them on PH.....
