Rabster I will raise the limit of images when the new forum is updated to it will go to 35 images per post limitWhy is there a limit at all? I thought those limits were for the olden days when people still used 56k modems. Of all the forums I frequently use there's only one that has a limit to how many images you can post in one go.

Any other suggestions ?
It's still used on lots of car forums to break threads up so its not one post with 100s of photos in so when someone wants to ask about a specific image it's easier we could relax it completely again we will review this
Any other suggestions ?
So as said can look into that
Any other ideas or comments

Yes I agree the limits are are pain for example show pictures but in theory most people only upload 10 or so pics per post as people update threads regularly with new mods and keeps conversation alive on build threads we can raise it.

To expand on my "the forum needs to modernise" comment:
I think we need to implement some kind of endorsement facility that takes the best builds we have and puts them into a blog type feed somewhere. This could either be done on a vote system or let the mod team decide which cars are worthy. Similar to how the mkivsupra forums select the best of their threads to sit in the "builds" section. It would be nice to just be able to click on a club car, have a few photos with basic information about the car, followed by a blog style history of the journey its taken.
Would it be that hard to stick a "pin to blog" button on posts so whenever someone updates a thread, it can immediately be banged onto some central blog page for that account? The identity of this club is its cars; aside from the banner we don't really take advantage of it. If we want to generate and keep traffic, we need some well presented stuff that people want to see (and keep seeing). There is a lot of emotional investment in cars, particularly in the modified community and I'm convinced we could do a lot better job of tapping into that and making something a bit more successful.
As I said earlier, we also need something of value for the paid up membership, one of which could (and should) be a wiki style database of the acquired knowledge.
Think some kind of mash up of instagram and a "living" version of a Banzai magazine article. The forum can sit behind all that, and we should definitely look at incorporating some social media rather than competing with it.
