As another year comes to a close, it’s time to reflect on everything we’ve built together and celebrate the incredible community we’ve created at www.fordxr6turbo.com. Christmas is the perfect time to pause and appreciate the friendships, knowledge, and shared passion that make our forum so unique. It’s a season for family, creating unforgettable memories, and celebrating the little joys – like spotting an XR6 Turbo, Typhoon, or F6 310 roaring down the road and knowing you’re part of something special. This community isn’t just about cars; it’s about the people who bring it to life. Whether you’re a seasoned expert sharing your insights, a new member asking questions, or someone who visits just to soak in the excitement, you’re the reason this place thrives. Together, we’ve turned this forum into more than just a website – it’s a home for enthusiasts. Running this community takes dedication and resources. From server costs and hosting fees to software updates and keeping the forum running smoothly, it all adds up. But we do it because we believe in what we’ve built – and in all of you. As we look ahead to 2025, there’s plenty to be excited about: upgrades to enhance your experience, continued improvements, and new ways to grow and connect as a community. But it wouldn’t be possible without your support. If you’d like to help keep the lights on, the forum active, and the passion alive, we welcome any contributions.

Much love and Merry Christmas, The Ford XR6 Turbo Team 🏁 Stay safe, stay turbocharged, and see you on the forums in 2025! 🏁

Apologies guys. We have moved to a new server to try and save some costs, and its now thrown more errors, and more costs into the mix. Working to try and get this resolved with urgency.

Well another year, has come and gone, and its that time again to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Its the time of the year to spend those treasured moments with loved ones, to create memories that last a lifetime, and to take the time to breathe and be happy for the blessings for the last year, big or small. Life has its strange ways of often throwing curve balls our way in which we need to deal with, interest rate rises, world crisis, and of course the dreadful COVID. But use this time to regenerate, and live for the now. I want to personally thank all of you that still support the site, whether it be by visiting, being a part of the community, or throwing in a dollar or two to keep us afloat. As always the site costs, a good amount of money to keep going with server costs, hosting fees, and software upgrades (which we still need to do), but we keep going for you, our members. It still makes me smile, when i see a XR6 Turbo, Typhoon, F6 310 on the road... Much love to all our members again at this time of the year. We hope you have a great one, and more importantly a safe one. If you do want to donate to the site, our link is always open, and funds will be used for upgrades, hosting, and to keep the lights on - https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/clients/donations/

Let me speak to the missus and see what we can do.... might be a worthwhile trip....

Sure Ill check.

Can you please check now have made some server changes. Thanks

This is from IPB - Hi Chris, Do you have a way of consistantly replicating this? I dont seem to be seeing a problem when logging in using the username 'ralph' that you mention below. Kind Regards, Marc Stridgen

Ok going to turn it off again...

It's back on as you said it was still happening.

So I am guessing it's not a caching problem then?

Was just done now.

Confirming this has been done.

Yes will do. Will turn it off tonight and let you know.

So i am presuming this is not fixed?

Guys after some investigation IPB are saying that it may be a caching issue with the server configuration. I have disabled caching at the moment, can you please check it and tell me if it is working now? or we still have the same issue? Thanks

My beautiful girlfriends son Michael who has autism is raising funds for his schools fun run which is on this week. In the few years I have known him he has grown into a young man eager to learn and understand, thanks to the special school - Joseph Varga he attends. If you can spare any funds to donate to this worthy cause, as I have seen his life change over the years due to the education, nurturing and dedication not only his mother has given him but also the great school he attends. He wants to eventually get into computers, and the school enables him to not only give him the life skills he needs, such as doing the things such as brushing your teeth that we all take for granted, it enables him to learn and grasp things that will enable him for life ahead. Good timing too as it is all tax deductible - the link is here https://adidas-funrun2016.everydayhero.com/au/michael-gallico Thanks in advance for your generosity.

Our normal rate is from $158 ex GST an hour so pretty reasonable. If you need anything in the future more than happy to help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No dramas mate, appreciate the response. Yes the advertising costs just cover (might I add when we get paid, some are as usual several months behind) like $20 more a month than the cost of the server and the monthly maintenance of the box (in which we have a managed server agreement). The costs for things like upgrades, software licenses and the design unfortunately comes out of our pockets including donations. Will work through the issues and we should hopefully have it perfect again shortly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really? To be honest the Benz was exactly the same price as my FG F6 310 which I sold, and came out of my own pocket, not funds from the site. The funds from the site doesn't even cover the monthly server hosting and maintenance. The upgrade difference has come out of my own pocket....

We are running the latest version of Tapatalk designed for the forum as well as the API is in place. Not sure what else I can do? Tapatalk version is designed for the version of IPB we are running. What are the issues with Tapatalk? I will log a support call with them. And to top it off we are still working through a list of issues including the IPS Spam filter causing issues with new member registrations.
