**** Forum Changes ****

[thegimpster]

Yea I can add a gasser section. Most of us have gas vws along with our diesels. Ive got a list of new boards to add and will start trying to organize post into the new categories next week.

I'll look into the quick reply option. Im on other forums that have it and it is handy. I know vbulletin offers it but not sure if smf does. I wouldn't mind to switch to vbulletin but its not in the cards right now.

Huh,  well there you go. Quick reply is on.

Sweet thanks.

It will take me a while though apparently. I scrolled down and looked at the quick reply area then hit the reply button like normal and typed this :facepalm:

[thegimpster]

Added a lot of new boards to hopefully try to organize things better. I will be sorting through the old pos and moving them to the new boards as time permits, but it might take a while. Any more suggestions on better organization would be appreciated.

Bravo! on the new subsections.

Anyone having time stamp issues? I made a few posts this morning and the time stamps are screwy!


e.g.
Android phone on Opera browser  when I was logged out of  VWdiesel.net shows the correct time of a post I made at 09:36:32 AM

Android phone on Opera browser while I was logged in VWdiesel.net shows 01:36:32 PM

Android phone on Tapatalk while logged in shows 1:36 PM

Is there some settings that I need to change or is the forum time stamp s/w screwy?

[burn_your_money]

Is there some settings that I need to change

Profile>modify profile>look and layout>Time offset then click auto detect

That worked. thanks!

Next question. Why do I have to log in every time I want to post something? It did not do that before the forum change.

92Eco,  When you sign in click the box that says keep me signed in forever or whatever.  No more daily routine.  Seems to work on this end of the world.

it does this on my phone sometimes but not on my pc or mac even with the 'keep me logged in' checked

Ok, so thegimpster has taken over and has figured out how to keep the spam bots out by requiring log in all the time.  Actually I haven't seen that in a while so the problem might have gone away on its own.  As for the phone loosing the constant login I might suspect app fuzziness there.

I couldn't think to do this on my phone, My eye is bigger than the screen so not going that way.

log in time has always been here as long as I can remember. I just deleted a thread and banned an account that posted a few days ago in the FAQ. We still have them, but it is harder because he changed the way people can post and register. They have to have a few posts before they can attach images and stuff.

[thegimpster]

Yea its not fool proof. The moment they make something to stop spambots they make new bots.

[burn_your_money]

Just want to say I'm really liking the new forum. Good job Ryan.

Any reason that For-sale category posts don't show up when I click the unread posts button ?
