Signed up ,or tried to ,then got sent a virus .If someone has been a member over their they might want to check up on this detail .It happened again yesterday and I wont venture on the site since its obvious that it has a link to my computer THAT somehow activates the V.

what kind of virus, what is the obvious link? Although I'm not a huge fan of the site, I've never had any trouble that you describe.

I haven't noticed any problems but the only forums I visit there are the "vintage" and W126 forums.

Probably any virus figures it's too modern to mess with me.

For me the pages load so slowly that the website is virtually worthless, not a fan.

Won't disclose names, but about 2 years ago, a member pretty much flamed me openly on the forum. I brought the issue to the mods of the forum, and nothing was done, as he was a favored member by those mods. They told me to change/edit my posts, which I refused to do until the member was issued a warning or infraction for his posts.

No infraction or warning was ever issued to the member that flamed me, but I was forced to take down/edit my posts!

I have a screenshot of the posts saved somewhere - and will post it if I find it.

it's automatic.

Use an ad blocker. The site becomes quite a bit more tolerable speed wise once you do. That is what you might be getting chasinthesun, it might just be an ad which your AV has labeled as a virus.

Benzworld takes way too long to load and I find the layout less attractive than PeachParts. I also appreciate the fact that we don't have a "cabaret" section here at PeachParts, and I think that the forums there are too specifically divided out -- at that point, all the people knowledgeable about, say, diesels, don't congergate in the same place anymore -- a huge loss, in my mind.

Well the second time it happened I was googling links to answer a question about my 190d ,found a writeup but wasnt paying attention to the site address ,I then read the threads 1st pg then started to go to page 2 ,after clicking it freezes ,I then look up to see that I was on BW ,then the whole mess started over.I hope they get this fixed and report back to verify their was a problem ,open air is always the best way.
The options on signing up on their site is grouped in 3 columns ,free ,$19.95 for a yr. ,and $39.95 for life. Not shadowing their intentions but in truley providing good service and info without mishap is the general rule in governing any site.

I have started to use them for R107 info. I like that they divide up by model - I only NEED R107 info, so I do not want to be distracted by things for R129, R170, R230 and etc... the R107 group there seems to be more active than it is over here. However I like things better here. I guess that is because I like the camaraderie of all us current (and former) Dieselheads.

Don't leave that there - I'll take it to bits!

Benzworld is a great forum! Lots of DIY articles and some pretty useful members(some are useless) I don't have too many issues over there.

I went over there when we he had the great migration. I think that was back in 2005. A month was enough for me, came back here.

iirc, they shut down the OD around 2005. Someone else may have a more accurate date...

A bunch of people moved over to Menzworld. The OD re-opened, some remained and others like me came back here.

I've been around here since 2001 -- have seen a lot of people come and go, die, marry, come out, have kids -- you name it. Made some good friends too and met a good deal of folks at gtg's etc.

EDIT: Saw CLK Man get banned for like 2 years. That was funnah'!
