Hi everyone!

I like to inform that I am back after a hiatus thanks to the computer's HDD died, but since I had to get a new HDD and a new OS, and the new OS is a 32-bit, so I'm stuck with only a gig of RAM and I don't want to wreck this computer again, so I have a new one on the way, I'm sure a lot of you already know this, but not everyone reads everything, but anyways, until then I am not going to make any cars until I get that new computer, I'm only doing site stuff until then, like for today I have fixed a lot of broken and missing files, and the reason why they got messed up was that the FreeForums Php3 will give you unlimited file space, but the attachment size is stuck at a maximum of 5 MB, so many of my files had to be fixed and reuploaded, but the bad news is that all the files that was over 5 MB was removed, including the 175th car anv. vid, so that will have to be by someone else or if not then I will do it when I get the new computer, I need to get some info off my cars that I don't have like the ploy counts and new pics, on last thing, the new files are in a format called 7zip or 7z if you know what it is, but I am now using that for file compression and works with WinRAR, it seems to compress better than RAR and works with the same tools, I do apologize to those people who have a issue with having WinRAR installed in their computer and can't open the WinRAR supported files, but the ZIP is a poor compressor and making a good majority of my car files not being under that 5 MB maximum, so blame FreeForums for that, they didn't give me any warning about the new attachment system, I had to do some digging to find out why my files where gone, if their is anything I missed that has happened around here in the past month that I didn't bring up, please feel free to post your thoughts here.

Thank you for your time,
-VoVillia :p

There has been an issue with registered users with their usergroup's permissions to do stuff on my site, they could not do something as simple as to log-in or to send a PM to anyone, so I have fixed the group's permissions and gave it a neat color, I hope it is fixed for everyone in that group, since there is about 2400 of yous guys in that group, I was only informed by this by a user, who could only contact me on another TS2 modding site, but it should be fixed now, but again, if something doesn't work correctly, let me know

Ok, I have found another issue and I thought it was just me at first, but now I found out it's sitewide, but the site is out of attachment space, I must have used it up while fixing my down attachments that where over 5 MB in size

So now I know that I'm stuck with 5 MB max file size and limited attachment space and another thing is, I don't know how space I have, how much I have left, or how much I will be getting, since the attachment control panel is not available in php3, thank you freeforums for doing this to me and my site grrrrr

And I do apologize to everyone about this, this is getting annoying

well, other people need to upload their files too, so I don't think this would work, but I do have a ton of space on a secondary site I got a while back

Ok I just got word that my new PC is on it's way, should be here by this coming Thursday, the 13th and I got a new Zmodeler2 tool, the one that can import GTA IV files, so you all are going to see some GTA IV cars next, just a few, I don't want to over do it like I did with the GTA SA cars, where I made 8 of them in a row about 4 months ago :p

And then when I get my new computer, I will slowly get back to speed on a new car everyday!
