News and Announcements

On Wed 25th July the Server that Landyzone is on will have to be shut down for essential maintenance This will happen at 08:00 and should only take around 30 minutes. I'm hoping that this won't ruin anyones day/week/month but I know how some of you need your morning fix before being able to tackle the world:D:D (in works time of course) Hopefully everything should be back up and running normally as quickly as possible.

Well after joining in on the site for nearly a year pressbrake has decided to become a commercial sponsor and support the site! Hopefully he will be along shortly to let you all know what he has to offer, and you will all support him in supporting us!.

I have integrated the alt.fan.landrover usenet newsgroup into LandyZone. This gives us access to even more land rover information and more people to interact with. If you make a post in that section then it will be sent out into the newsgroup. Please read the announcement in the alt.fan.landrover forum for more information. You have to have over 10 posts to be able to post a message into that section, this is due to posts being sent all over the world and not just remaining on our server :) we don't want annoying people to abuse the newsgroup and tarnish the landyzone name, do we! :)

I am getting many reports that people are using the PM system to spam other members about other websites. We don't usually have a problem with people putting links in sigs or linking to relevant material on other websites, but using landyzones bandwidth for outright spamming is a bit out of order. Any reports up to now have been disregarded, but from now on anyone PM spamming or blatently spamming in the forum will be slapped on the wrists If anyone wants any advice about how to gain visits to other websites without spamming, then feel free to PM me.

Hi, we're getting a big amount of people emailing saying they're not sure why they have had a payment coming out of their account and that they don't recognise the company name, We're sorry about the confusion - our company Firmedge runs LandyZone, which is why payments are being made to Firmedge! We have been responding to all emails questioning the transaction and I posted about it in the other thread a few days ago but I think its been lost so decided to make a new thread, The renewal of the subscription is automatic and takes place annually, the same day you purchased initially You can cancel at any time through paypal if you wish to stop this payment. Once again I am sorry for the confusion this has caused! In other news, we're...

Please can all Landyzoners be aware that if they receive an email or pm from 'security team' OR 'security analyst' or any other similar user names or group names or if they see a post from any of the above, they are spammers and they are trying to get you to click on an 'alleged' anti virus link. It is a virus of some kind. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK. Please can you use the 'report post' tab so that we can delete them, before they delete your hard drives. Thankyou.:)

Over the last couple of days I have upgraded all the software that runs this site. I'm still not finished yet and there will be bugs... If you have any problems posting in the forums then you may have to do a hard refresh. To do this hold down your CTRL key and press F5. The gallery/reviews/classifieds sections are not complete yet, but should be finished today.

Recently there have been a few requests for a [How To] Forum. You will notice that all vehicle categories in the Land Rover Talk area now have a sub forum for this. The idea is to keep the useful info in the correct category making it easy to find, and to keep them free from clutter. Anyone can create a thread in the sub forums, but they will not apear until they are approved. Each thread will be discussed in the Secure Unit (god help us) then once approved will appear it the correct sub forum, with an obvious title. There are already many useful threads around the site, if you think any are good enough, point them out to a mod and we will copy them for approval.

Ive uploaded some pics from the show to the gallery for all to see. Heres a link to make life a little easier... Happy viewing.. http://www.landyzone.co.uk/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=511

Some of you may have noticed that the forum was down for some time last night. This was due to a rather large crash and the resulting time needed to recover from it. There may need to be more downtime/slowdowns as we investigate further problems with the server and increase backup intervals incase it all goes tits up before the solution is found. If the forum is gone, I will keep you as updated as I can by twitter and facebook. Please bookmark these links just in case: Twitter: Land Rover Zone (landyzone) on Twitter Facebook: Landy Zone - Land Rover | Facebook

I have removed the old classifieds software and we will now accept for sale and wanted adds in the main forums. Please make sure you post in the correct forum category. Here are the new rules for the for sale section: LandyZone has now incorporated the Classifieds into the forum instead of being in external software. Here are the rules for the new for sale section: You must use a thread prefix, this is so people can see at a glance what it is you are selling and so we can sort by vehicle type(the thread prefixes are the type of vehicle you are listing). Please include your location in thread title, or at least somewhere in your post. No ****taking in for sale or wanted threads, please keep on topic and only ask questions about the...
