Would I be better off posting pics of my car rebuilds and what not in general help - even though I'm not directly requesting help, I guess it's more relevent than "general" chat?

So, the gist of your first post is that you don't like to wade through jokes to read the car related posts that interest you -- by inference I read that all posts in general chat should be car related, so that no-one is hampered by irrelevant posts ---- or have I got the wrong end of the stick.
If it helps, I, for one will refrain from posting jokes.

I think some people need to chill out a bit..... or get a sense of humour..
If there is a problem with jokes been on the forum you need to get a life....... (as long as they are not to over the top)
If you can put "Joke" in the title so people that dont want to read them dont have too, great...

I suspect I may have returned slightly too early...

I feel that the jokes do detract from the content slightly, but I do not see another solution to them. As H21 says if they are crap (quite a few) then they will disappear.

I agree with point made about having more meaningful titles to posts - this can be frustrating when you see "help" or "problem" what bloody use is that to man or beast?

Just my opinion

If someone has a Problem or needs Help, then surely the Place to put these subjets are in the Help Section??

Not sure it's the area that is in question mate. Moreso the titles of the post.

Eg - "help" in a post title, won't attract any specific experts, such as "cambelt problem" might...

Agree, I've mentioned it before. So much easier if the basic issue is in the title.

Apologies, I was slipping away from the track of the thread. I probably didnt use the best examples from ones I have seen in the "general chat" area

I didn`t realise that a 'laugh and a joke' in the general chat area bothered people quite so much. :-?

Perhaps a compromise might be made; `only jokes about cars, perhaps?

I have no problem with the jokes .. I enjoy them, as do many others judging by the responses ....

I appreciate others may not, so I agree that correct "labelling" would be a good idea .. then those that don't wish to read can pass by. Just as I pass by the (admittedly infrequent) motorbike stuff.

With the large numbers of members - and still growing   - it is obvious that not everyone wants the same from the forums.

IMHO the Admin staff have the balance just about right, the vast majority of sub-forums are Omega related, with just one for "anything goes" (within reason).

I personally love this site because it is well categorized and comprehensive in it's chat, including the jokes!

Providing all comment is under the correct heading i.e. joke under general chat, nowhere else, what is the problem?!  

To those who can construct jokes....a VERY big thank you from someone who cannot tell a joke to save their life, and who can suffer from severe depression so needs these moments of enlightenment!

So all I would say is please everyone lighten up, have fun when possible, but just keep it all in the right section as I believe Debs and co always do!  Do not make the mistake of over formalizing this site and making it like so many others....damned boring!
