Welcome aboard. Where on the planet do you live - I noticed you asked about a car we don't see here in the USA. And remember, we like pictures!

I'm still adjusting. Two specific things:

• A way to minimize the Shoutbox on the "home page" (other forums have a shoutbox feature but they all have a way to minimize it so it is not in the way)
• When there is a link within a thread, I'd prefer it to open in a new tab rather than the tab of the forum - is that a setting? (I'll go look)

Thank you. I'm contacting the WVA/WPA chapter to find out how to make donations electronically. As soon as I find that out, I'll post it here for those of us who have abandoned checkbooks.

Just got the following email from them for those that don't write checks (note the new address for those that still use paper to pay for things).

Hi, Dan - Thank you for checking in and for your generosity. I have a Square account so we can take a credit card over the phone, and we can also put a credit card in our system. I will be out of the office until Monday morning but please give me a call! Thank you and have a good weekend,JuliJulianna LawrenceExecutive DirectorCrohn's & Colitis Foundation of AmericaWestern Pennsylvania/West Virginia Chapter5001 Baum Blvd. Suite 635Pittsburgh, PA 15213Tel: (412) 823-8272 Fax: (412) 823-8276jlawrence@ccfa.orgwww.ccfa.org

I've been all over the CCFA website to donate and while they have references to Camp Oasis having a scholarship fund in Tom's name, they do not have a way to donate solely to that fund. When clicking links to donate to support Camp Oasis, it always takes you back to the general CCFA donation site. I'm attempting to donate on behalf of the Georgia Opel Club the funds I've collected for this fund and can't find out how to do it online or via the Georgia Chapter. Do you have a better link or more information? (Especially for someone who does not write checks anymore)

I belong to lots of forums and some have great structures that make it very easy to navigate and also find your favorite subject. Alfaowner.com out of England has a great one even though not helpful for me because it does not cater very well to older cars. The technical section in Alfabb.com is better for that.

It has a section for all the different models (with a subsection for each model), a section for community discussion (with a different subsection for types of discussion like - Way Off Topic, Rants, Polls, Alfa Discussion, Motoring Discussion), etc... Suggest you go check it out.

Another good one that is easy to navigate and helps you find things is Lotustalk

Of the 10 car forums that I belong to, those 2 are easiest to find things. Opelgt.com has the deepest amount of technical organization in that it matches the service manual but for those of us that are not intimate with the manual, it seems intimidating at first.
