Default Want to buy a car from USA and bring to UK!

I’m sure they will be quite a lot of forums that are dedicated to that sort of importation. It used to be pretty common with old Mustangs

Ok I'll give it a go..

I wanted to import a car from USA to UK a few years ago but I found that it would be very difficult with lots of paperwork and fees. After some research I found this company ship overseas that will take care of all of that for me. Now I proudly drive my imported Ford Focus through the streets of London every day!



I don't know how you guys are hiding the links. I can't get it to work.

Wheel doesnt need moving. You can drive a LHD car in the UK.

Things like headlights need changing though if I remember and there are import taxes that need paying.

I have never spotted them doing that before

If you report it each time you see one I can keep a much better look out for them now.

Thanks for pointing that out, tin.

So they aren't using image links, they are just using BBcode to change the color of the link. I tried that, but apparently it only works if you put the color within the URL tag.

This is their format:
[URL="https://google.com"][COLOR=Black]https://google.com[/COLOR]/[/URL]

Yielding: https://google.com/

By formatting the text within the URL tag the forum's default link CSS is overridden.

Admins - if you guys care, you could probably stop this from happening by manually forcing links to show up as links, by styling the [rel="nofollow"] attribute. I think this would be the easiest way to do it without having to assign forum posted links a link class.

I believe forcing the link color in CSS would override their BBcode color selection since BBcode is rendered into HTML by the server, and forum HTML has to comply with the forum's CSS.

For example :

HTML Code:
<style type="text/css">a[rel="nofollow"] {
    color: blue;
 }</style>
Style a link based on it's rel attribute

<style type="text/css">a[rel="nofollow"] {
    color: green;
 }</style>
</head>
<body>

<a rel ="nofollow" href="http://yahoo.com">Yahoogle</a>

</body>
</html>
Into the W3schools Tryit Editor: https://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit....trycss_default

The old way of styling links would have been to assign a class:
HTML Code:
<style type="text/css">a.links{
    color: green;}
</style>
 <a class="links" href="http://google.com">Google</a>
But since this is a forum where content is dynamic and the admins do very little manual formatting, it would be a hassle trying to assign a class.

If you look at the source for when links are posted on the forum, they are all automatically given the "rel="nofollow"" attribute. So it would be easier to add a few lines of CSS, styling the attribute that already exists by default, instead of trying to assign all links a class and then styling the class of links.
