I would make the session cookie last longer. Having to login every hour gets annoying.

Could you start a Wiki section that would be a reader created glossary etc? Visitors would know that it is reader created and minimal editing would be necessary by the F1Tech staff.

Or would you prefer that they put words in your mouth was well? ...Along with telling you what to talk about.

And how did you guys find out you were dyslexic? Was there a formal test to be taken?

If so, can you point me in the direction of an online version please...
For crying out loud, call Ciro an administrator, principal or whatever, but all I suggested was that when he sees a new thread about the color of Hamiltons underwear on the Forum, he should simply delete it and send the moron a reprimand.

And whenever he finds the same Forum boooring, he should utilize his infinite wisdom to come up with yet another intriguing thread for us mere mortals to enjoy.

Swedes are dyslexic by genetic default, we are also suicidal and kleptomanical.

Along with the countdown-to-next-GP calendar, could we have a clock on race weekends? Say just from 24 hours before FP1 to race start? It would save me from visiting Bernie.com.

Cheers!

All right, all right, stop whining. I will do it: no more threads about Hamilton underwear and that's final.

I can be mad with the forum, I can be happy with the forum, but I swear: I'm never bored with it. You've probably known women that have that kind of influence on us, if you follow my drift.

I'm retaking (slowly) my duty as "intriguing threads creator". Blame my lack of duty fulfillment on good bussiness, sorry: I think (in my infinite wisdom) that is better to be rich than poor. Anyway, thanks a lot for your kind words, x, I'll slow my pace making money and will invest some time in friends.

I think your dislexy is slight. However, I can understand your predicament: I imagine how hard is learning to talk in languages composed mainly of vowels, not counting the diet of surströmming.

Nonwithstanding this (and anyone who has smelt surströmming will recognize our generosity), we acknowledge the immense contribution of Swedish people to humankind (legal porn) and their even larger contribution to the Internetkind (The Pirate Bay), so, Sven Gustav, we will follow dutifully your suggestions.

I don't know if this is already possible so disregard it if it is so.

How about the ability to start a thread right from the story published on the site. So if I'm reading a story, I can scroll to the bottom and either start a thread or read comments from it and even add some.

You are a good citizen ciro. Btw, it's Surströmming-season as this is written, why don't you stop by and one of my Swedish mistresses will introduce you to this culinary delight?
Along with another Swedish speciality if you are in the mood.

Do you mean she will introduce me to svagdricka and tunnbread? I've already tasted that. I went to Sweden when I was 18... oh, the memories: I worked cleaning a park after I ran out of money. I was introduced to many swedish delicacies by the happy and giggling employees of a nearby restaurant. Of course that was then, who knows what would happen now: back then I had the stamina and the need to keep high the flag of latin reputation. In the end, I got a lot of free food, say thanks to the people at Ason (no double s) for me, x.

It seems a good idea, jddh, altough I've suggested a couple of times to create a subforum for useless threads, I don't know if people reacting to news wouldn't swamp the site with repeated threads.

There is a "clock" tag included in phpBB, Ted, but unfortunately I know it doesn't work with the configuration Tomba has given the site, I've checked, but I know it can be included in the threads (at some sites).

That is, in the same way you include an image at this site, you can include a clock in your posts (at other sites, not this one). I will ask Tomba.

Sunshine-story that Ciro, I guess this was i the sixties then, the age of free sex and mind-enhancing drugs?

Sometimes I think I was born way too late.

Move or build your own dirt go kart racetrack so you won't be as suicidal and Whoopi Goldburg had dyslexia so you can still go far

Well I'm working on that one already ;) It would be nice and has been suggested in many different forms here. It does however take a while as programming has stalled a bit. Since some time I'm on win 64-bit, and that gives me some problems to test my stuff. I'm working on fixing that though, no worries ;)
