Greetings folks, I've added additional filters to block this most recent wave. That should slow them down a bit. I have additional options to deploy as well. Forgive me for not providing specifics, but we don't share those details because we don't want to educate bots on how to bypass...

Hey folks, Incredibly sorry for the delay. We'll dig into this issue and try to get it sorted out ASAP. Please bear with us, as a fix is unlikely over the weekend. Thanks for your patience!

We were incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of our beloved moderator Steve Parkes, so we wanted to do something to honor him and the years he spent caring for these forums. With that in mind, the next issue of Practical Caravan Magazine (on shelves 13 June) will include a remembrance of...

This is definitely a devastating loss. Parksy was a fantastic human being to work with and truly loved this community. He'll be sorely missed by all of us.

Yikes. That typo was all me. I am very sorry about that.

Greetings all, We have now completed the upgrade process to the latest version of Xenforo and moved hosting. While there is expected to be minimal impact, upgrading to the latest version of XenForo may cause potential issues that weren't apparent in testing. Please feel free to let us know if...

Howdy! Thanks Sam, for looping me into the issues. We're not likely to add that feature ourselves, but we'll share the feedback with the developers of Xenforo, just in case they decide to implement it down the road. On our side, we'd need to have a specially designed add-on that allows for...

Greetings, folks! First off, I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for being part of this community. You've made this forum an absolute pleasure to be a part of, with a passionate group of folks speaking intelligently about things that matter to them. We're grateful to each and every one...

Greetings all, If you, or someone you know, has a love of the written word as well as caravans and motorhomes, this is going to be a very good day. We're hiring for a Staff Writer to work on the magazines/site! This is a position that covers Practical Caravan and Practical Motorhome...

I experienced the issue first-hand when posting my reply, so we're definitely 100% aware that the issue is very real. Additional details from folks are welcome, but I think we've spotted the underlying issue, so we'll post updates as they come in. Thanks so much for your patience!

We're taking a look at this. Thanks for calling it out! For anyone who has run into this issue, can you provide additional informattion? From what region of the world are you connecting? What web browser are you using? Is this happening for you on mobile, desktop, or both? When did you first...

Hey there, I did some digging through various settings to see if there are options for you, but that isn't one of the settings folks can personalize. We can keep an eye out for options down the road, if they become available, but we should assume that won't be in the immediate future...

All right, folks! We've added the ability for users to share most image file types with each other via direct messages. As with anything, we'll need to keep an eye out for abuse, but if everyone treats the option responsibly, it should be no problem. Thanks
