(19 Oct 2015, 3:32 pm)Dan When we asked for feedback about the old news section, a number of you complained about the duplication of information (what had already been posted on the forum was getting regurgitated on the news section).
As I said last week, the idea behind the new system is that it is "live": it is updated as and when things occur. The problem we used to have is that I used to note every single repaint on the forum, and it would only ever attract further discussion every once in a while (primarily when a new batch of vehicles were undergoing repaint into a different colour). I've no problem with news being copied across onto the forum, but only if it is noteworthy and if it will attract further discussion. What's the point in duplicating information, if you're just going to be talking to yourself?
If an item of news has not yet been posted to the news page, then sure, feel free to note it on the forum or PM me with the details. I wasn't aware that further Mercedes Citaros had been branded until Robert posted it, so the news/fleet lists wouldn't have been updated if he hadn't done so. The only news item that had been posted prior to 16:00 was 4940's repaint, which was updated at about 6am this morning...
speaking of which any repainting news?
