As quite a lot of the zone seam to have moved onto facebook I have reluctantly set up a facebook account purely to look at the zone group but I keep clicking the "join" button which changes to "requested" but then when I check back a day later it just says join again? I'm I doing something wrong or is it because I have not added any friends (don't want to either) so it thinks I'm a troll or something?

I believe one of the admins has to accept you.

Being as you've only just joined they might of assumed a fake account.

I'm sure one will be along in a minute to help :D

When we someone who's only just joined FB with very little on their FB account who wants to join the group we do tend to ignore it as it usually is a spam account lol

But now you've told us, we can approve it for you when you next request it

I have to say I prefer the zone for a proper laid out platform, information and help,but the fbzone is faster with plenty of random posts but lots of misinformation and 'stance bruvs' I don't take it anymore serious than a bit of daily fun.

I can't stomach more than about 30 secs of Facebook, even less on the Zones page. :banghead: :chainsaw:

Facebook is shite whether its e30 related or not.

At least on here you get proper answers from people that know what they are on about.

One thing I would say is the Facebook page is good if you are trying to buy or sell parts.
