Replying to: 0patience (Feb 15, 2008 8:31 pm) The Help files are being updated to include questions about Answers. Haven't heard an ETA. Points I'm fuzzy on points (well, I'm still a bit fuzzy about everything, so don't cast all of this in gray iron). You get a nice hunk of points for joining. You get points for asking a Question. And you get points for Answering questions. You get more points if your Answer is selected as best. And there's a 30 day point tally as well as an all-time leaderboard. Navigation Tweaks are on the wish list. You can click on My Answers Profile to see what Questions you've asked and what Answers you have written. You can search by user name if you happen to note it when you respond to an Answer but it may be easier to use Search by Questions. Or you can expand the Categories list and view all the, say Maintenance & Repair > Exhaust questions. Some of the Questions will show up as Unanswered even when you see a Reply or two, since a Question won't get answered until the voting closes (see below). There's also an RSS feed option if you click View More on one of the Browse Questions or Answers page. I haven't played with that yet for Answers but the RSS Feed will download the Questions to your computer and you could just keep the ones you are trying to track in your Inbox or your reader. Voting Anyone logged in (i.e., registered) can vote on an Answer. If the person asking the Questions votes an Answer as the best one, then the Question is closed and that Answer is the best. Otherwise the Answer that the community has voted for the most with a thumbs up will get deemed best after a period of time (a week, iirc).

Replying to: steve_ (Feb 15, 2008 10:01 pm) That helps. The Help files are being updated to include questions about Answers. Glad that there will be something to help answer my questions about answers, so I can answer more questions on answers. I kill myself.  There's also an RSS feed option if you click View More on one of the Browse Questions or Answers page. Once I figure out what RSS is, I'll be on that.  Thanks!

Replying to: sysop (Feb 15, 2008 9:14 pm) ...carspace.com/csgroups This is my page link title  If I go to Home in the bar, I get recognized user name and the SignOut button only. The SignIn button is gone. Then when I come back to Carspace using the topmost link above the graphics, I have the normal page with "Read News Posts, Watched Items, etc."

Replying to: imidazol97 (Feb 16, 2008 10:01 am) You should be able to login or be logged in once you hit the non-carspace.com forums page (e.g. a townhall-talk.edmunds.com page)

Okay, so why would a button with such annoying implications as "remove all tracking" not have a safeguard?

Replying to: p0926 (Feb 28, 2008 12:47 pm) Still seems that something like removing the tracking on every single thread should have a backup screen.... like "WTF?! Are you sure?"
