I've made a few updates to the forum categories and also have an important announcement to make regarding the scope of the website.

First, I've combined the 2010 GT and V6 exhaust categories for now just to reduce clutter. Also, I've moved all exhaust-related forums to the Learn About Mustang Exhaust Parts section to make it easier to navigate the site and also in anticipation of expanding the scope of the website.

So, on to the big news. Up to now I've kept this site as exhaust-forcused as possible. However, I think it's time to expand the scope of this website in order to help grow this forum and to help retain our members. History has shown that most members join this site to learn about exhaust systems but end up leaving afterwards to join one of the many general mustang sites - that is, except for a handful of truly dedicated MX.com members :cheers:. So in order to spur on growth and attract a wider range of members, I'm going to be creating new forums that focus on many of the other aspects of the Mustang beyond exhaust. Let me be clear, this site will still be heavily focused on Mustang exhaust and I'll keep working on expanding our sound clip collections and all that good stuff. But I believe we can only gain by adding some new forums and features. I really look forward to seeing this site grow exponentially in 2009 and this is a big step towards that goal!

As always, if you have comments and suggestions please reply to this post.

Thanks,
-Nino

I also moved the Smoking Room to the top category as part of the re-arrangements.

Hi Nino...I have a question...well actually now I have two of them...

First is...I tried to create a thread in this forum a couple mins. ago and it said I do not have permission to access this page...:dunno:

and what I was going to post was...

is there anyway...we can post more than just 4 pictures in a single post? I know way back before the crash, we could post lots of pictures in one post...if you would bump it up it would be awesome...I was just checking out my spring install thread cause I was going to move it to the new "suspension" forum and think it would be better if all the info was in one post instead of half a dozen kinda thing...

That's all :)

There, I've set it to unlimited and I edited the permissions so you can create new threads.

Ghost, I think the limitation is file size, not quantity. Let me adjust that setting.

Edit: Nope, there's no limit on disk space. Are you uploading attachments or hyperlinking pictures?

What we also need is a darker skin that can be selected. White burns the eyes on most forums.
