PriusChat Site Updates are ongoing

interesting....

very interesting. a bunch of hidden optins.

 

And while I'm on a roll - I've been confused about the "modification" sub-categories from my first day here. There are very few mods that I do, that fall easily into one or the other. I'm not sure that it helps anybody to have the two categories.

Are roof racks an appearance mod? A new antenna? Electrical outlets? LED interior lights? None of these are really appearance mods OR performance mods. Where's the best place to put them?

 

The RSS feed is returning a 404...

 

Will the Sponsor links be returning (or where are they hiding)? Somebody asked a question where I got something and I wanted to give them a link, but couldn't find it.

The new look is pretty sweet.

Thanks Danny -

Honesty, I don't think we need the "appearance" category at all. What would we do that's only for appearance beyond changing the paint color, adding racing stripes or wheel spinners? Most mods change something other than appearance as the primary goal... I mean we aren't a Honda Civic forum! If we add side moldings, we don't primarily do it to make the car look better. Same with tinted windows, new wheels, blah, blah. I think the easiest change is to just make one mod forum since right now most topics are scattered all over both of them anyway. Maybe it would make sense to have one "general" mod forum, and one "electric/electronic" section? Trailer hitch goes into general (where would it fit now?) and the wiring for that hitch goes into electrical/electronic. The more I think about it, the more I think "general" and "e/e" makes the most sense.

The "new" part that is bugging me the most, though, is the non-WYSIWYG line-space formatting. (and now I see that if I do a "quick edit" I can delete line spaces, and it is WYSIWIG. Odd. There's a disconnect between the original compose window and the edit window.

Thanks again.

 

Yay! Outline view is working again. I wonder if this requires on-going db maintenance which is why it broke before.

Thanks Danny...I've been wondering how to access them as well.

I agree, most mods we do that alter appearance are also have a primary use that isn't for appearance. Sometimes I find myself not really knowing wich mod forum to post in.
Like Independant fog lights... performance or appearance?

Let's drop "appearance," change "performance" to "general" and put the currently separate "Audio-Electronics" forum under modifications where it belongs and change the name to Audio/Electrical/Electronic. I think that'll take care of it. Or at least make it a lot better. So, if I haven't lost you... I that that under "mods" we have two categories: General and Audio/Electrical/Electronic.

In the meantime, this "appended posts thing" is bugging the boogers out of me. Sometimes for valid formatting reasons, I do NOT want my posts appended, but there's nothing I can do about it until some (seemingly random) amount of time has passed, or somebody else posts. And I'm seeing all kinds of extra-long posts because of the double-space issue as well.

Thanks for making this such a great Board, Danny. I know it ain't easy.
