PriusChat Forum Upgrade - post your bug reports/gripes/thanks here

OOPS! Maybe if we PriusChatters would read all the posts in a thread, we (ME) wouldn't be complaining about the same problem over and over.
Sorry Danny.

I solved my PriusChat/cache problems by setting my cache level to zero in Firefox. Fortunately, with a dedicated, symmetrical, 10 MBPS fiber-optic internet pipe coming directly to my house, I have the speed not to worry 'bout no stinkin' (or stickin') cache.

 

Thanks, Danny. I'm certain it's been more than a bit trying of late. I promise to keep some gripes to share later if you ever long for these days again.

 

HMMM, what fix? View new posts still don't work. It defaults to posts made in the last 24 hrs.
Keep the faith Danny, it's got to get better. We really do appreicate your hard work.

 

Can you tell us which PC cookie or cookies should be deleted specifically to fix the cache and what the consequences would be of removing *all* the PC cookies (my browser has nine of them)? For example, would one lose the record of read and unread posts within a topic?

Thanks.

 

Just as a data point - cookie issue is fixed for me. I didn't have to clear Firefox's cache or log out although I did do a page refresh on each forum. Thanks Danny!

 

WHo's a busy boy then?
After witnessing other forum migrations this one seems to be going not to badly. Good job all concerned.

The link in this post is broken, not sure what can be done about it though.

Danny,
Thanks, It's working better now.

 

Signature rights

To the administrator/founder PC guru....
I wonder WHY I can't upload a picture now to insert in my signature as always I had and meanwhile I can see other members with pictures and logos on theirs?

 

So beautiful, Tony...nice to have helpful mods who use their powers for good instead of evil!

 

Thank you Tony for correcting my signature, as always, the Moderators are at their post.

 

Consumption Screen Questions

We just bought a 2008 package 2 Prius & we love the car. I do have some questions on the consumption screen - how is the avg MPG calculated??, also just to the right of the avg MPG is a mileage figure that keeps changing. Right after we bought the car we took a 1400 mile trip and I swear that this mileage figure reset itself at some point automatically. If so what is the mileage point it resets & can this be changed?? Also, when the car come to a stop there is a whine as it stops. I assume that this is the electric motor coming to a stop. Am I correct??

Thank you for this site as it is very helful for new owners.

Thanks.....Phil

 

Your questions and concerns are common of new owners, and are nothing to be worried about. With a little searching here you'll find those questions asked and answered in many different ways

You did, however, post them in the wrong thread... which has happened a few times in this thread already, which leads me to another software upgrade issue:

Since the upgrade, this thread has been headlined in the Announcement tab... I think that it's attracting new memebers to post comments about the car, so maybe either the announcement should be taken down (since most people know about it by now, and it seems the most major issues are mostly worked out), or reworded ("Welcome... post likes/dislikes" might sound inviting to a newb ).

 

For the life of me, I can't get my sig to post properly. Simply using the tags works on the preview, but in my actual posts some additional html shows up, which ruins it. Help?

Shown here with just the img tags:

I just realized that I'm not getting email responses to topics that I reply to. Since I'm on a half-dozen or so sites it sometimes takes me awhile to notice. I've checked to make sure that my profile is set up for the reply option and always make sure that the option is checked when I reply to a thread. Am I missing something? Also, I checked to make sure my email address was entered correctly and it is.

 

Having the same problem here...
