Not having physical cards and just using your phone is grouse. I have everything on my phone and haven't carried a wallet since Covid. I couldn't even tell you where my wallet is, its been that long.

I know. I know. No politics to be discussed, but it was really sad to see all the firey uniforms and helmets hung along the roadside on our way back from Mildura.
Mods please shut it down if this offends anyone.
What has made me even angrier is a neighbour's place was broken into while he was not at home. Being in the country isn't the haven from crime, that it used to be. Stay safe everyone.
Unfortunately what happens is f you have auto signed out and or auto signed in then the "Whats New" list is basically Whats New since you last signed in. If there has been no traffic then there is No List. I agree, it would be awesome if the whats New list retained the 50 most recent interactions so you always had that list of commons. Because we all use the Whats New list that way we dont navigate the forum so its easy to lose stuff for sure.
@AB can we change the Whats New list to the last 50 threads with traffic instead?
Are you actually pulling my pud? 4 months after an observation was made by a daily signed-in member, an absent mod (like all the others) replies and says maybe you’re not using the forum right? Are you actually kidding me? This forum has crashed. It’s no longer a social platform like it was, because those that run it (and evidently most of their mates) now socialise elsewhere and have abandoned what was the greatest Nissan Patrol forum in the world. The ballroom here is vacant and the band is packing up. Not because the public didn’t like it, it’s because the lights were turned out on us. Now, I would never try to undermine the ALMIGHTY work that AB undertook to create, grow and eventually flourish this (his) forum, but it’s on its knees now and needs some good old caretaking, some watering and a bit of mowing to spruce it back up again. I’ll put my hand up to help if I’m asked. But don’t swing in here twice a year and tell us dailies how the place runs.
I believe the what's new showed what was posted since you last checked, there used to be a lot of posts every time but unfortunately a lot of members and ex members are probably spending their time on Facebook. I really miss the way this forum was before and would love to see it again but I do not believe it is the fault of mods. Anyone that reads this, please try to post more and I will make the same effort.
I think we are overdue a big get together of members, maybe at Christmas Hills. :wink:
I’m with you Tony, it would be great to get the traffic back. There is a small skeleton crew of members here still posting away. But the “what’s new” doesn’t show everything that has been posted since you last refreshed like it used to. The system has changed. It’s fucked now. We have been commenting and asking about this for ages and getting nothing back from the powers that be. If it’s a money thing then just tell us! We can work together to fix it! We are (or were) a tight-knit community and we still can be if open communication can happen again.
Don’t get me wrong. Tony I know you have gone through some seriously hard times in your life. How do I know? You leant on us when you needed to. I am now going through somewhat of a life situation that I’m not adjusting to very easily, and I know other members here are going through tough times as well. This is exactly when we need each other. This is when maybe we don’t spill it all out publicly on the forum, but we can have each others backs like we used to and use Private Messages, phone calls, texts, etc, all because we met here with a common interest!
Let’s get back to the community we used to be here. It’s not too late. Come on guys, and come back!
