| Re: Consistency in Model Specific forum names Given that the current range Fabia's are known as Fabia's 1, 2 or 3 would that not cause confusion with some people? Fabia 2007> is easy to understand. just my 2p worth

| Re: Consistency in Model Specific forum names I agree with the consistency idea, and think using Roman Numerals will avoid confusion with the different models of Fabia II Steve

My concern was over external links to those pages,if you look at the linkbacks, various other forums link to threads and other technical info in the forum. Now the forum name has changed, and the fact the URL link includes the forum name now means these links will now be invalid with potentialy helpful information lost.
