Title: Blueprint is in the House
Post by: Blueprint on Jan 07, 2025, 01:19 PM
Hello to all the "autos" gang!!

Such was my will to chat with you guys again that I finally surrendered and opened up a fb account to reach some of you, knowing this place existed. The first thing fb threw at me were babes, and more babes - go figure. I fixed this, and the feed is now full of cars - phew!

I guess we have to "build" our cred to add an avatar and start new threads? Man, if only I knew autos was about to hit an IT iceberg, I'd have saved up tons of content  :'(

So this is indeed a fresh start, post #1  8)

And about autos... The only intell I have is that it was a technical issue at first, and that techs did try to resolve the issue ... but haven't had a peep of info since pre-Holidays.

Welcome!

I was wondering what happened to the Autos site.  I figured something crashed since there was zero warning.

This just in: IT has not given up yet, they are still working on a fix

Welcome blueprint.  Would be great if the old site came back from the dead, but I am not overly hopeful due to how long it's been.

Indeed, I feel naked without my 10+ yr posting history :(

Is it possible it takes a bit here before we can add an avatar?

I don't recall there being a time delay before an avatar can be posted.  I believe there is a size restriction, however.

Found it - but now I have to dig out my old avatar from some external drive...

Hi Blueprint.
Are you going to be at the Salon de l'auto? I'll be there in the 17th.
