change for the sake of change.... an great example of this would be changing the look and feel of a forum when no one complained about the old one  :lipsrsealed:

Clearly didn't read the post by JV stating out of date software.

Want a safe forum, you upgrade to keep it operating smoothly.

Clearly didnt read my post which talks about 'look & feel'.... please explain to me where a user interface has affected security.

... and it wasnt a dig at JV... he doesnt write the software or UI as far as I know.  :rolleyes:

Forum had been running very out of date software for a while now. I had put off upgrading because (it's well scary, man) the last forum theme was not compatible.

"Look & Feel" not compatible with software update.

Consider yourself explained to. :smiley:

Not enough chips in a packet of microchips...

Ask any southerner if they are bothered about that issue. Bloody northerners!  :lipsrsealed: :rolleyes: :grin:

I live in London and studied in Maidstone and McCain Microchips were awesome, when I was a student back in 1991. So were those Bernard Matthews Mini Chicken Kievs.

What Thom said, I f**king dispise ignorant pricks who don't acknowledge the gesture when you let them pass on a narrow road. I make a point of screaming "your f**king welcome" out of the window if its open!  :angry:

Also Women drivers in General. Majority of the time, its women who do the above, but the fact that they sit in the outside lane on the Motorway really gets my goat! I think its very dangerous undertaking, so I flash my lights like f**k, beep my horn like crazy, and occasionally they may even check their mirrors when they spot something out of the corner of they're eye, and move over!  :angry:

The mother in law! Constantly feeding my four year old biscuits and cakes! Even just before Lunch/Dinner. I get her home when she's been at the in laws, make Lunch/Dinner, and the little un' doesn't want it, and kicks off cos she's been scoffing crap all bloody day! Even though we've asked the in laws not to give her them, they tells my daughter not to tell us! But my little un' grasses her up anyway! You think she'd learn!! :angry:

I'm such a miserable bastard! Honestly, I could go on forever now..................................... :angry:

Neighbours waking you up in the middle of the night scream and cackling like a bunch of witches, the bitches almost got an earful, they heard me shouting out the window and stomping coming down the stairs and had scattered in doors when I got out there, 2 nights on the trot so far - I won't be putting up with it for a third night.

Oh and people moaning about the heat.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I understand why the forum look and feel has changed....

Still doesnt really answer why a software upgrade requires a IU update does it? they are 2 separate things.

People who are so obsessed with facebook, twitter etc. Sometimes as if their lives revolve around it. To me there is noting more anti-social than a social network. Also iphone users who think it to be mandatory practice to constantly preach about how great the latest useless sh#t app is and how you can talk to it to make it do things. Sit and fiddle with it while in the company of others. So disrespectful.

Also road users who don't indicate on the motorway or cut in too close to your car while over taking, especially in the rain when it bombards your car with spray. Some people have very little common sense.
