It has been noted (and subsequently investigated) that certain members are abusing the edit/delete own post privileges to intentionally disrupt and in some cases decimate entire threads. Almost every platform out there including the seedy ones (looking at you Facebook ;) ) have hard stops on edits meaning after a certain time you're not able to go back and edit your posts. CCF has probably the most generous Edit Own Post and Delete Own post restrictions out there largely because the vast majority of you are responsible enough not to abuse them. Not all though. Repeatedly putting false, repetitive and incendiary posts then editing/removing them after the fact is by and large a form of trolling which goes against our rules. It is a fine...
Now that we've completed our HW migration we can focus on cool new CCF features. Planned for this month (sheesh 2 weeks left): 1. Video uploads - we will start offering limited support for direct to CCF video uploading to make it easier for folks not willing/able/interested in using youtube or other media sites. We will roll this out shortly hopefully to the Beta group then various other user groups. 2. Mobile App - new mobile app, it's coming. Will have a lot more features and I'm planning to roll this out in the next couple of weeks. More instructions to follow.
Thanks in large to financial support from our members as well as our sponsors we have acquired a fancier, quicker bare metal server hardware and after hardware validation will commence the process of migrating CCF over. Our HW is still located in Canada including our failover site. What does this mean? We will be able to support significantly higher traffic patterns. Mostly future planning. We will add native CCF video upload support so those of you sharing vids via youtube will in future be able to directly upload to CCF without the extra steps. More media storage space. Enhanced performance in general. It will take some time to move over our assets so I will splash you with plenty of notice if any downtime occurs. This is a heads up.
A very positive start to a snowy Sunday morning. I'm super pleased to announce our newest CCF Partner in Crime and Sponsor - Finch Chevrolet in London, Ontario (640 Wonderland Rd N, London, ON N6H 3E5) and the man that made it happen: @Morgan @ Finch C. Please give Morgan the warmest CCF welcome one can muster on this cold morning :) By all accounts he looks to be a very helpful chap and active poster already, and we hope he will enrich the CCF landscape with his experience and guidance. He is through and through a Corvette guy so he'll fit in here well enough. More info on the dealership he represents can be found below: https://www.seefinchfirst.com/finch/gm/ Thanks Finch for your support.
Folks, It's no secret that we've been experimenting with a completely overhauled mobile app for CCF. We're currently close to ready with beta builds and as such we will start releasing the app to the app stores and google play stores shortly. This will be a mostly gradual rollout, with the Beta tester groups getting early access to it. As such we will for a little while have 2 CCF mobile apps until the bugs and kinks are ironed out in V2 of the app. The new app will have a different look and feel, and will implement a lot more features normally found on the CCF Mobile Web browsing experience. Look for more announcements in the near future on this. Nik
Hey All, Just a quick update that we are re-organizing the CCF store to make it more accessible to all and as of this morning I have rolled out new CCF mugs in multiple colour variations. The location of the store and your cart can now be accessed via the Coin Icon (top right). This will be the location of both your VetteCoin inventory/store as well as the Apparel Store. All order pages have been updated. We are still taking orders for classic Tees and hats. I'm planning on rolling out more TShirt variations as well customized Logos with your CCF Username for those of you that want extreme levels of customization. Order processing should take 1-2 days now and shipping should occur within a few days with standard delivery at 10 days...
Dear Members, It's that time of year where I pass around a plate and promise eternal life and infamy to the lot of you. :) Firstly a huge thanks to all of you whether you donate your time, posts, money or any combination of those. Without you CCF would not be what it is. As you may or may not know CCF runs on a lot of love, dedication, donations from our members as well as our cherished vendors. We do not run ads, sponsored posts nor do we sell your info to third parties. Our vendor sponsors do not spam nor upsell aggressively. As such our revenue streams are somewhat limited. We do not run a profit and any money raised is pushed right back into our operating costs. This is not a sob story but is by design :) Our costs include some...
Important Announcement, In keeping with the times we're now offering users and guests the ability to switch between a CCF Dark Mode and your regular CCF theme that you're all used to by now. Effective immediately you can switch to CCF Dark by scrolling to the bottom of any CCF Page and clicking on the little Theme Selector box (currently labelled CCF Regular if you're in the current theme). You can also expand and collapse the width of forums depending on your preference. The new CCF Dark theme brings a very fresh and different look to CCF so word of caution there. For example all the menu and navigation items you see up at the top are relocated on the left handside pane. You can always change back to the current theme at the click...
And now for the big disappointment. It's one of my new business ventures that we've kicked off in the last few months. I've added a link to our Vendors section (no need for a dedicated forum for this one). We're a small but extremely well equipped and experienced Shopify partner with capabilities to handle almost any Shopify related activities. If you've not heard of Shopify head on over to Shopify.ca - it's a Canadian company specializing in turn-key single platform ecommerce solutions including POS to run your business. Catering to small and large business and everything in between. We recently helped migrate Steve Madden to the platform so it's not all mom and pop shops. Our new website (still in development so apologies for the...
