Got it. Thanks for your help.
A âCancelâ button would be nice. Really, this product is a piece of poo.
Iâm sure Iâll get used to it. But I hate the way it doesnât show in a tree like before. Itâs nice that it shows more comments per page, and the response time is better, though itâs also harder to read. I also had to turn off my ad blocker as it was throwing tons of errors.
FYI, the search function is now live. Youâll find it on the right-hand side of the screen, underneath the Bookmarked Discussions box, which itself is underneath the Car Talk Tool Box. Any problems? Let us know. Iâll pop back up when I know more.
PS: oldschool, Iâll pass on your observation, and I see what youâre saying.
EwâŠIâm not liking this. The SUBJECT post needs to stand out a bit more like in the old days. Everything just blends in now. Did we all lose our standings as well? I see I have ZERO posts and visits when we know that is certainly not an accurate barometer of how many questions I and we have answered. This new format looks super genericâŠNo?
Did the rest of you guys lose your posts and comment counts? Honda, when I looked into your profile, I saw you had five discussions youâd started and 670 comments, the vast majority of which predate the new system.
You can canel any comment simply by not posting it. You can refresh the page (F5), return to the topic listing, up to you. Almost anything except hitting the âPost Commentâ button is the same as a cancel.
Give this one a chance, and give them a chance to sort it out. Itâll get better.
IMHO both phpBB and SMF are superior, but Iâm not running this forum, and Iâm quite happy that this free, apparently very widely used service is sitting out there for us to use to help each other and others.

Or they could just put in a Cancel button.
âItâll get better.â In the sense of ânowhere to go but upâ, yes.
Sorry to be so negative, but a lot of things that should have happened before this go-live didnât.
I like the new forum. Itâs far easier to scroll through posts, much like the old forum was. I never really was crazy about the version that you just superceded.
It isnât perfect, but it sure is nice.
And I reiterate what Chassos said: itâs great to have this free venue for people to get help and for us broken down old guys to hang out in.
Overall fine with me. I did notice the text in the âSubmit a Car Questionâ button is almost illegible, about zero contrast.
The option to show posts that have been read is on the wrong page. If you go back to Topic Index, and then click on options in the Repair and Maintenance catagory, one option is Mark Read. That option should be on this page.

Overall I say a workable inital piece of work. My last school âprojectâ and then the semester is over is a 4 page website using Javascript and jQuerry. I know the trouble I am having (but I had a breakthrough today) so I certainly can imagine the stress level when you want to be up and running while you work the bugs out.
RE: the submit a question button - mine is a bright red button with white text. Its pretty hard to miss. Iâd guess that this is another browser variation. (Iâm usually in Firefox).
Canât flag posts?
Nowâs the time for off-color humor and some category 5 flames!
@cdaquila, you are certainly an active cyberbabe, um, I mean Czarina. I take back half the bad things I said about you! Keep up the good work!
Yeah, button color must be browser-related, Iâm on IE9. And sorry, jts, they added âReportâ button now, youâre out of luck!
But the âreportâ link isnât nearly as much fun as the little red flag was.
I never found any reason to use that little red flag, perhaps I have missed some fun
Could someone clue me into how to post a picture or diagram? There used to be an âattachementâ button. Now there is none but I see people are posting pictures. Are the people posting pictures hosting them? I wanted to post a diagram but i am not hosting it. I canât copy/past a pic. into a post.
So⊠how to?
You have to embed pictures, using the HTML code provided when you store a picture on a site like photobucket.com. There are other free picture hosting sites too.
