I acquired the zcar.com domain in 1998. By 2000, I enlisted the help of my wife Heidi and brother-in-law Vince to keep things running. Over the last couple years we've brought in several long standing members as moderators. I'd like to thank our site sponsors, moderators, and members for their help in making ZCAR.COM such a success. We've been able to stay on top of hardware and storage upgrades to retain nearly 1,800,000 posts of our members online. It's been a great 9 years, I'm looking forward to the next 9.
I'd like to thank everyone for sticking with us when our forum software was lacking many of the features that newer forum software provides. With this site update you'll find that we stay true to our goal of providing a quick efficient forum experience while integrating some nice features that everyone has been clamoring for these past few years.
New Features
[hr]
Images
- we now accept image uploads directly to our site. You no longer need to find a place to remotely host your images, and learn bbcode to include them on the page.
- You can include up to 4 uploaded images per post. (no limit for externally linked images)
- images will be automatically resized if they would cause horizontal scroll bars to appear.
Videos
- including links to YouTube and Google Video will embed the video into your post so people can view them without leaving the site.
Classifieds
- the classifieds system is now using the same software as our discussion forums. Many people found the old software difficult to use and some encountered login problems.
Events
- We've created an events & community forum. Everyone can post their event & car show announcement directly to this forum.
Z Car of the Month
- You'll find a "Members Rides" forum. Post a detailed message about your car, include images, and one lucky member will have their car promoted to "Z Car of the Month" each and every month.
Report This Message
- At long last, an easy way to report an offensive post to our moderators.
If you have any problems using the new site feel free to post in the "Help using ZCAR.COM" forum or if you're unable to post, please email webmaster@zcar.com. Thank you!
