Thanks for doing this Rob

Thank you, I always enjoy these posts

Nice Rob. Just a quick thought, when you click on 'New Posts Pcars' I've noticed that the filter misses a couple of areas, this one in particular. So people who often use that to find latest posts may miss out on some info.
Maybe add your latest compilation to the front page...... just thinking out aloud here.

Ruggo, that's because this is the general WMD forums, not the pCARS specific ones. There's also a link to general "new posts", below the "Forum" button at the top. This shows all new posts in the entire forum. I agree though that some threads should be moved to the pCARS forums, for instance the Weekly Hot Lap Events. After all it is CARS specific, and I think many people are not even aware of these threads, resulting in less feedback
