I was thinking of having two new additions to the forum. The first is the possibility of having the regional forums displaying their own logo (and of course improving the current logo ). What do you think?

My other thought was that I could set up pages such as http://www.bmwcarclubgb.co.uk/forum/scotland - www.bmwcarclubgb.co.uk/forum/scotland   which would redirect to the  Scottish Regional Forum [ http://www.bmwcarclubgb.co.uk/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=21 - http://www.bmwcarclubgb.co.uk/forum/forum_topics.asp?FID=21 ], the URL of which is not as easy to remember. What do you think?
If I did that what should I make the redirect page for each region (bear in mind there would be no spaces!!!)

Sounds like an excellent idea.

As for spaces, opt for either - or _ ?

One use that comes to mind is to link in every section and region on the club main site to their own particular forum. Tried it and it works fine. Will work with every other site in the world if required, and could get many more members/visitors.

It is there so that in the Club mag for example you can refer to the shorter link rather than a long winded link that you would never remember.

LOL - no I just thought it was funny. The web server (like any good servers) collect this info anyway. We give it to santa and he adds it to his naughty / nice list
