Dear Car Talk Community, While I had a chance over the holidays, I simply wanted to share some thinking from the Car Talk Plaza end regarding the Car Talk Community, our plans and hopes as we look to 2012 and beyond. First, a belated New Year’s thank you. We’re grateful for our local Car Talk Comm…

Probably one of the best things to do for someone posting a question, would be having a message at the top on the question box that says “we’re trying to help you, but you might not like some of the answers we give, so please bear with us.” or “internet forums are like the highway system: Most of us…

I don’t think a “stronger stand” on moving things to the queue is needed at all. If anything, I think that the site admin is often a bit too thin skinned about discussions that people have. If this site gets any “cleaner,” and I find myself having to watch everything I say because there is some po…

At one time in the past, this forum did use a queue and all replies had to be reviewed before they got posted. That did not work out very well. At the time, there were a few people that were real (what’s that body part I am trying to think of?) that were very disruptive and disrespectful to everyo…

Where do the error reports go ? does anybody actually read them ? I must be sending 50 a day.

I am not receiving any. When you next receive one, can you please e-mail me at carolyn@cartalk.com or send me a message, or make a post with the text of/nature of the error you’re reporting?

Then it’s probably just Internet Explorer’s error report. to wit ; Internet Explorer Internet explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. We’re sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost. – Please tell Micros…

Yep, those reports go into the Microsoft world, never to be seen again. That happens all the time with my XP/IE8 (fully updated) machine, never now with my Windows7/IE9 machine. The XP/IE8 will, after a couple of errors, refuse to show the discussion until I close, then reopen, the window. Does t…
