I think the XM looks great in that colour and the highlights. Great job.

Nah, should it ever get used you could just have the top left hand edge of the screen

hmmm, maybe "the global resource" bigs it all up more than the simpler "the resource". :?

No problem at all John. Watch this space!
I'm not sure about "citroen moaners" though!!
Though "x moaners" could mean happiness has broken out with an Xm?

How about

www.citroenxm.com

(a hyphen away from a Dutch forum mind)
or

www.citroenxm–forum.com

both appear clear though the second is being 'offered' for sale... :roll:

All the best,
Andrew

Hi Andrew

Spaces are ignored in web addresses so spacing out a little is not a problem.
Putting the XM bit in the Mk2 style font might also help unless you can make it change back and forth.
The plain citroenxm sites could be taken down by citroen for copyright infringment so are best avoided.
The name of the site is mainly about what a new searcher is likely to type in hence the choices.
Existing users already know the name.

Thanks

John

I don't think they can copywrite the name as such, only trademark Logos.
As long as the site isn't using logo's to attempt to portray itself as in some way an agent of, or officially affiliated to Citroen they can't do anything.

Short snappy names work best for web addresses.

What about CitroenXM.co.uk to differentiate from any other forums using similar names.
