Tim,

Found an issue with the Reader's Rides. When you look at the rides by "make" it has no option for multiple pages. For example right now my RX-7 is at the bottom of the "Mazda" page (making it the first car entered) but I know that's correct. There are at least 3 Miata's in the Mazda section before my 7, including Wowak's.

I don't think there's an issue there... the rides by make aren't in any particular order (that I can recall), and I don't think any one make has enough yet to trigger a second page. But I'll keep an eye on it.

^^ No scrolling, even on my little work tablet! YAY!

There's definitely more then one page of Mazda's. I can look at it and it's missing Wowak's, the Blue one with the White stripe, and at least one other Miata.

You're right, I'm wrong. Fixed.

Not quite fixed yet

Now when I click on "Page 2" for the Mazda's it drops me onto page 2 of the "Newest Reader's Rides".

Thanks!

I'll confirm that. The only way I can find my car is through my profile page.

Hey Tim, sorry to stir it up some more over here but is there any way you could add the link at the bottom of the page to go back to the top of the forum you're reading in. I can jump right to classifieds or classics but not the grassroots forum. Top just takes me to the top of the posts.

Like, at the top? Forums » Grassroots Motorsports » Your Post

It would be faster to navigate without scrolling up to the top again

You mean like the button at the bottom that says "top"?

Top just takes you to the top of the page and there you can hit the Grassroots Motorsports link. I was asking if it wouldn't be too hard to add it to the bottom as well. Eliminates the extra click.

Yes, guys, I know I know, boo hoo, extra click but if I don't ask the answer is definitely no.

Just want to say, I just saw this new site for the first time on my home computer (with a nice 17" LCD, and Firefox) and it looks great!

Yes, this is something that had crossed my mind too, but I thought myself too lazy because of it. I didn't want to say anything because of this. But if you could put your quick link at the bottom so that we can easily return to the board without scrolling up to the top of the page, that would be great!

Tim, I'm now suffering something new that is not covered in the FAQ.

Whenever I click on a topic link within any of the forums, I'm directed to the very bottom of the posts. I am specifically not clicking the star, or latest topics, etc.

And it happens on my home PC as well as work PC. Any suggestions??

Thanks!

I believe the site is defaulting to placing the cursor in the reply field. Annoys the heck out of me sometimes if I'm multiple posts behind.

Thanks Tim! In spite of all the problems you still gave me my link! Great work Tim!

Nevermind! I was in the Off-Topic forum and didn't realize it. That's why the link was there. You're still great, yada, yada, yada

Hi Tim,

Not sure if this was covered previously and I can't read through nine pages of posts at the moment. What happened to the search function? Is it there and I'm not seeing it? When I've been away for awhile, I like to search certain posters so I can go directly to topics where they posted since I hit the board last. Is there any hope of this important indispensable function coming back? Or have I gone blind?

Jerry, I'm working on a search function and hope to have that in place soon, once a few bugs are worked out. It got pushed back a bit while I sorted through speed and stability issues. In the meantime, for your purposes, you can go their profile and see follow the link to their posts. I hope to have the search figured out pretty soon.

Clicking on "Your Posts" sends me to 404 "Get out the map."

I don't know if it's "Impact" used in bold or what, but that font used for headings on the site is horrific :)

WHAT THE HELL, I look away for a short time and the whole thing goes to hell?!?..

Eh, I re registered... But I miss my member since 2003 next to my name, gives a little credibility, but only a little.

Jeff, send me a screenshot, if you could. I'm not sure what you're seeing, but there's no impact used.

Eric, email me with the old username and I'll see what I can do about restoring your post count and stuff.

Tim,

While I love the quick jump forum tabs at the bottom of the GRM pages, even to CM, there seem to be no tabs back to GRM from CM. Am I just missing it, or is it on the todo list?
