Hi everyone

Over the past 18 months a great deal has happened to the S-MAX Owners Club website hopefully without many of you actually noticing.

We've moved to a different server, achieving an uptime of over 98% in the last 12 months, changed our home to a .com, upgraded and streamlined many aspects of the site and the way it is seen by visitors and Google. All of this is aimed at making the website and forum the best possible independent resource we can for S-MAX owners.

2012 sees the next step, a series of rolling upgrades to the site, which we hope you will certainly notice and like, as it concentrates on how it looks and works, however we thought we would start everyone off gently...

This 'new look' has been tested by the staff and our testing group for a long time now and it's high time it saw the light of day, so we are now going to make it the default for the website.

If you preferred the old 'look' you can still use it, please scroll down to the bottom left of your screen and look for a drop down menu that says SMAXOC v1.1, click that and you can revert back to the old v1.0 if you choose to. We have had some feedback that some people prefer the very low key look of the now 'old' site, and rest assured this option will be available for the foreseeable future should you require it.

Hopefully everyone will like what we've done.

Watch this space, 2012 will see more functionality and usability added to the S-MAX Owners Club website.

many thanks
Zozzer and the webteam
