In an effort to modernize site operation, I am implementing a few site changes: Replies are now allowed to other people's threads in the Marketplace section. This means the 30-day bump rule is gone, but please be reasonable with bumps. To combat a particular modus operandi of scammers, PM and...

On March 31, 2017 one of our members had his beloved NSX stolen out of his driveway in the Granada Hills area of Los Angeles, CA. If you see anything please report it to the police and reply to this thread so I can contact the owner. He provided the following details: It is such a devastating...

I got the NSX For Sale template set up as a form to make it easier for folks to use (vs. having to copy-and-paste the template into a message and then edit it). There is a notice at the top of the NSXs For Sale (Gen 1) forum with a button that takes you to the form. The form generates the...

Though one of the ad networks the site is signed up for I get a lot of e-mails about various promotions. I ignore 99% of them but saw a couple for this week that might be of interest to folks here so I thought I'd pass them along: Advance Auto Parts: $50 off $100 for the first 2000...

User Tagging You can tag a user as on other social media sites by simply adding an @ symbol in front of a user’s username: @Username When a user is tagged, it looks like this in the finished post and you can click their name to see their profile: @NSX Prime There is also a new field to tag...

Sorry for the down-time today. An automated update to the database server apparently went badly in the middle of the night. It created a real mess and corrupted all the databases, including the database server's own operational database, and thus the db server wouldn't even start up again...

This afternoon I resized the server instance that runs the site. The new instance pretty much doubles the resources. I'm hoping that will help with some recent performance issues and a couple instances where Apache basically crashed and I had to manually reset it. The old instance was...

I'm testing a function to automatically import NSXs listed on eBay into a separate sub-forum under NSXs For Sale. Hopefully this will prove useful for folks who are trying to keep up with the broader NSX market. If you aren't interested in these and don't want them in your activity feed or new...

Do you prefer the old style post layout (two columns with user info on the left and posts on the right) or the new style (one column with user info above posts - what we're currently using)? I don't really have a preference so I'll go with whatever the majority prefers. Thanks!

Over the holiday weekend I plan to upgrade the site to vBulletin 4.x. Expect at least half a day of down-time. My current plan is to do it on Saturday, but that may change. If it changes I'll update this thread.

I've been looking for a way to test the 4.x version of the vBulletin software in preparation for upgrading the forum software here on NSX Prime. I also find electric vehicles (including hybrids) increasingly interesting. It's clear they are where the entire industry is headed. Even the rumors...

NSX Prime is launching a new classified ad system called Enthusify. For now it will run in parallel with the existing forum classified section. Creating an ad in Enthusify will automatically create a post for your item in the Marketplace forums, so you can post an item in Enthusify and get the...

Well T-shirts went pretty well... We had some great designs proposed, the printing and shipping went relatively smoothly, and only a couple folks asked to do a size exchange. I'll do more shirts in the future. But now I'm going to move on to the second most requested item over the years: Vinyl...

There is a new option on the forum nav bar. Third from the left, it is titled Classifieds. Clicking on this will take you to a new Marketplace platform called Enthusify. Enthusify is a hosted marketplace for enthusiast communities (e.g. car forums) that aims to provide solutions to some of the...

I'll take pre-orders for these 2012 shirts through June 15 and then print the batch and maybe a few extras. I plan to ship around the end of the month, but given that I haven't done any of this before it may be into July if I run into any delays, so please be patient. :smile...

Hey I know we have some web professionals on here.. Does anyone use Drupal? Any good books you recommend for getting started with it? Thanks for any suggestions!

Since I signed up for VigLink I get some emails about what users on various VigLink-affiliated sites are buying. I got this a while ago and just got around to looking at it. I found it interesting for a few reasons... 1. Because you can see what people are actually buying, not just what is...

Please report any problems you encounter here. The one I am aware of immediately is that the wiki is broken. I'll work on it ASAP.

For many years I've wished I could read a lot of NSX material published in Japanese. It recently occurred to me that others probably shared my desire to be able to read this stuff. Professional translation is pretty expensive so it's not really feasible for people to hire a translator for their...

To pay for things like upgraded hosting I looked around for ways to help the site generate a little more revenue without making it annoying to use. I settled on "affiliating" links to a ton of major online merchants using a service called VigLink. (Anyone who spends their days studying the...

I'm making several "behind the scenes" changes in the next few weeks. Among other things I am going to move the site from its existing dedicated server to a cloud server. This migration to cloud hosting is considerably more complicated than I originally expected, but should ultimately result in...

As part of an ongoing desire to have the NSX community embrace and contribute to the NSX Wiki, I have added the role of "NSX Wiki Champion" to the site. Like forum Moderators, the Wiki Champion is a volunteer role (already filled). The goal is to have a single point of contact who can do...

Since the 20th Anniversary NSX Fiesta is now a memory, renamed the NSX Fiesta message forum to "Japan" and moved it under the International section. All the old messages are still there, as well as some Japan-specific threads I moved from the main International section. I hope this new section...

I am working to clean up / move around / change some of the ads on the site over the weekend. If something looks weird just ignore it for the time being. I should have it all sorted out by Monday. If stuff still looks weird or the changes seem to be causing functional problems with the site...

This forum is not for professional detailers to post write-ups, photo diaries "showing off" their work, or otherwise promote their detailing business. If you, as a professional detailer, want to participate here to answer people's NSX detailing questions, that is fine as long as the point of...
