      This community will evolve over time and member ideas are important.

      If there is something you would like to see added to PHAEDRUS ZEN, share it here.

      Examples:
      • New forum sections
      • Tools for drivers (maps, routes, etc.)
      • Event features
      • Car profiles
      • Garage or service directories
      • Improvements to the marketplace

      You can also suggest removing features if something feels unnecessary, confusing, or unused.

      The goal isn’t to add everything, but to build the right things.

      When sharing an idea, it helps if you explain:
      • What the feature would do
      • Why it would improve the community
      • How members might use it

      Thank you for helping shape PHAEDRUS ZEN.

      Drivers. Not followers.

      Forum attachments enabled

      Small quality-of-life improvement:

      Members can now attach images and files directly to forum posts and replies.

      This should make it much easier to share project cars, repair photos, scenic drives, track day experiences and other automotive content.

      As always, let us know if you run into any issues or have ideas for further improvements.

      Members can now suggest calendar events

      The community calendar has become a little more collaborative.

      Registered members can now suggest events using the “SUGGEST AN EVENT” button on the CALENDAR page.

      Whether it’s a Cars & Coffee, track day, motorsport event or local meet, we’d love to hear about it.

      Every submission is reviewed before being published to help keep the calendar useful and accurate.

      Forum discussions expanded

      We continue expanding the forum with a range of new discussion topics.

      New conversations now cover buying advice, trusted garages, performance driving, project cars, scenic roads, events, DIY maintenance and much more.

      Hopefully there’s now something for every type of driver to jump into. If there’s still a discussion you’d like to see, let us know.

      HI, i loved the website, looks interesting and engaging. I don’t remember if I came across one like this.
      Some things I noticed could be maybe improved. This is only my personal opinion though.

      1. Page Roads: would be better to have fist pictures and after list of forums
      2. Why Drivers. Not followers? What does this mean?
      3. Page Car Shows: would be great to have pictures next to the event to click on

      4. Page News – the text is difficult to read. May be check how to adapt font? Less spacing between lines
      do I get news updated to my email?
      5. Enter Garage button – is confusing why Garage if I enter community.

      Looking forward to the rest of the pages, like Services and Market.

        Hello Katerina,

        Thank you very much for the detailed feedback — this is exactly the kind of first Beta input I was hoping for.

        A few points have already been reviewed and updated.

        The News page readability has been improved with calmer typography, adjusted font size and tighter line spacing, so longer posts should now be easier to read.

        The “Drivers. Not followers.” slogan has also been clarified. It means that PHAEDRUS ZEN is not intended to be another social-media-style platform built around followers, likes and influencers. “Drivers” means people who actively take part — people who drive, explore, ask, help, share roads, share knowledge and build the culture together. I have added this explanation to the About page as well.

        The Enter Garage button was a good point too. It sounded on-brand, but I agree it was not immediately clear that it leads into the community area. This has now been changed to Enter Community.

        The Roads and Shows pages are still early Beta areas, so they are not in their final form yet. I agree that Roads should become more visual, with pictures and routes shown before the forum list, and that Shows/Event pages would benefit from images next to listings. These will be improved as those sections develop further.

        Thanks again for taking the time to write this — very helpful feedback for shaping the next Beta improvements.

        One more update following your feedback, Katerina:

        Event listings across the Calendar now include small visual thumbnails next to each event. These use event logos or relevant images, making the lists easier to scan and helping visitors identify events more quickly.

        This has been applied not only to Car Shows, but also to racing, track days, meets and drives where suitable images are available.

        Thank you again for highlighting this — the Calendar feels much clearer and more engaging now.
