My pet peeve on this forum is that darn google smiley. Everyone uses it instead of :thumb:

Can the quick smiley list be changed to have :thumb: not :google:

Looks weird to me 9/10 times, I'd only use it if I was encouraging someone to use the search function or Google itself.

Hey guys,

agree with you on this topic, but i need to go off topic. (this was the only logical thread i could get access to)

When i go to click on the passat main page or any other like General Discussion or Motorport i get this message:

The webpage cannot be found
HTTP 404
Most likely causes:
•There might be a typing error in the address.
•If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.

What you can try:
Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

Go to and look for the information you want.

Now obviously i can log on and click on last thread added to on the VWWatercooled Australia main page...but not for the other stuff..

Hoping someone might know whats up?

Cheers,

Jayse.
