The use of a 'forums' link on the home page makes more sense for new visitors to the site.

Spot on Ted. It took me about 4 or 5 visits before I found out what "Gassing" was. I just ignored it and went flicking through the OilyPages instead.

Frivolous response; But it's so *boring*.

Serious response; In which case you need to change the headings, urls, paths and everything else which mentions "gassing". It's confusing to click on "Forums" and find yourself somewhere (apparently) else entirely.

But once they've let the page load it looks like forums so people can then make the link (don't want any numpties here anyway )

Took me a few seconds to register that one too, "Where's the Gassing Station gone!"

More dumbing down, just what the world needs.

Suppose that was a request from the Five-O lot then?

Oh for god's sake, get a sense of proportion.

Making it easier for new members to find the Gassing Station through the changing of one word does not constitute dumbing down and I don't need to change URLs.

It's a simple change to make things easier for newcomers. It doesn't need analysing for the next three weeks

Imagine my shock as I logged on and could not find the "gassing" link.

I thought my life was over, there was no sense to the world. Life without pistonheads is not worth comprehending...........phew!
