Wlecome Wayne, are you going to integrate this board into the Boxster section of the Pelican site? Many of us are already members there too (paul in wi).

Welcome Wayne, I'm a member on your forum also, I enjoy the layout of 986forum better other then two things, links and pictures having to be clicked on (see you fixed that already!!). Things are speeder too, nice!

Does this mean you'll have time to un-crate those IMS bearings

Glad to have you!

Great news, welcome Wayne! Any chance we can up the 70 PM limit a bit? I like to keep track of everyone I have interacted with over the years.

Done! It's now 300, which is what I think it is on Pelican. Server storage is cheap, no need to limit this so low!

Any other requests while I'm "under the hood?"

Glad to see you on this sight!

I enjoy your tech forums as well as your book. I'm doing my front brakes with Pelican parts today, which is what brought me here this morning!!

Both sites are great and I could get the answers I need from either forum. I appreciate your personal responses to my questions on Pelican and your mail order parts business (and the Pelican website) is tops in my book. I have great respect for you and your company and welcome the new direction!

Brucelee and rkwei - Thanks for your efforts and dedication, I've probably saved several thousans of $$'s due to the 986forum resources. This must have been a lot of work and my hat is off to both of you!

Awesome, thanks Wayne!

Many thanks to the past owners...but very glad to have you aboard.

As a fellow entrepreneur, I admire what you have done with Pelican and I am sure you will make many improvements here...it is in our DNA and what we do.

The great thing about this forum is it inclusive and helpful to everyone from the most exotic Porsche owner to those who found their first Porsche under a tarp covered with 8 inches of snow in the county pound.

It took about 30-40 hours to get these forums ported and setup onto the new servers - about 10X longer than I anticipated. Stuff like this is indeed higher on the list than the IMS bearings that we have on the shelf. Soon though...

We're not 100% sure of the plans just yet. We will be integrating some of the functions together (like search engines, etc.), but the plan so far is to keep them somewhat separate at this time.
