Hi all, just testing a new feature to see if it's working. In theory, this new feature will prevent people from spamming our forums promoting Switchboard Operators and Ford Econoboxs. Hopefully this feature will reduce the number of people trying to sell Ford Econobox services and Switchboard Operator bookings.

I know!  This is probably the only forum on the internet where people are disappointed when the adds for Ford Econoboxs don't refer to Ford econoboxes.
