New BMW7 Resource

Hi guys

Thought you might like to know of a new UK based 7 Series Resource

http://www.bmw7resource.co.uk

P.S There is a link back to this site in our TopSites list


DOH Sorry Rhys


Edited by webmasterz

Link works, but it says 'coming soon".

Eh gentlemen,
From what I have seen it's all copy and paste from other legitimate sites and is not that brill to operate if you have a slower system.
As one of the most minority interest cars it seems to be getting a warped sense of interest Why people will not work together to create accurate new relevant topics on a couple of top notch sites like this is beyond me?
Everyone wants to re-invent the wheel I suppose

Im going to add my own thoughts on this (if I may)
* Here at work I need to work off an 800 * 600 pixel resolution. Your site doesn't fit this.
* on the main page (after the various (& possibly unnecessary splash screens), get rid of the world news and the clock. I have a clock on my arm and also on my screen. If I wanted breaking news Id go to a news website.
* I guess also get rid of the calendar. Maybe whenb the site becomes busier you could have a BMW 7 events listing calendar but at the moment it is just an unnecessary filler
* a number of images have white pixelated edges which don't look good against the dark background. e.g

It will, in time, presumably be a good site but the need to entice people to return isn't fully there IMO. The portal idea is good (although Im not really familiar with MKPortal. However, I am in the process of doing something similar with some domains I recently registered:-
www.bmwe60.com & www.bmwe60.net
www.bmwe81.com & www.bmwe81.net
and www.bmwe90.net
[This time next year, I'll be a millionaire ]

I need all the know how I can get,

Spoken like a true admin of another site.

Derek I can assure you there is a lot of very useful ORIGINAL material contained therein.
And as I emphasized previously it is open to ALL.l

Tony,

don't ditch the World News section unless everyone else hates it - it keeps BMW chaps in touch with the real world & saves having to log onto BBC News site.

is the forum taking off?

who's hosting the site servers?, I reckon you've got the mainframe in your house! must cost a bomb to have all the latest screen features etc. looks like a lotta work's gone into it.

Tony,

have you posted a link on John's 5er board?

http://forum.bmw5.co.uk/

I think Rubberknees50 is Ian's board handle - he's not been on-line recently - Telewest Troubles

there is a Chas already on the new board, not you?

try a sexy new board handle!

Well as you correctly asses I am an admin on another site and had the decency not to promote the "other site" here until I had relevant permissions on this site. It's just a common decency even though I have a track record of over 100 posts in the last three years here. Just MHO though.
If though you have gained permission in this respect my apologies. Good luck on the new site.
