Re: How about a "heads up" re Forums maintenance? [pat] by backy

OK, thanks for the info.
 
BTW, the reason I thought there was some maintenance being done is that while I was trying to post a reply to another post, a little photo of a car appeared just to the left of the original post, on the Post Reply page. I had not seen that before, so I thought a new feature was being added. I have not seen that little photo since (and didn't see it when I went back and successfully did the reply later).

When & Why. . . by cdnpinhead

did the change take place that removed the left-margin tag that displayed the number of posts and signup date (among other things) for the poster? I realized awhile ago that it wasn't there because I couldn't immediately check a name I didn't recognize to see if it was the #1 post or the couple hundredth post from someone who'd been on the board for a year or two or the XXXXth post from someone who has the default "member since" date (13 Apr 01) who I hadn't crossed paths with before.
 
I realize it's still possible to get the information by clicking on the posters name, but I found having it immediately at hand useful, though I didn't realize it until it was gone.

It's been a while, I don't remember exactly when the change took effect. As far as why, the information in the post is far more important than statistics about the poster isn't it? Especially since those stats are easily found without taking up space on the page.
 
Just an FYI, you don't have to click on the username for that info, just mouseover the username and that info pops up in a little balloon.

When: March 13, 2008
 
Why: Members complained about the amount of space it consumed when the information could be viewed by mousing over the username (and even some don't like that feature)
 
We can't please all the people all the time - sorry.

They didn't seem to be able to figure out what posts have already been read -- again. That was a couple of hours ago, but it appears better now.
 
When this happens (& it has several times over the past year or so), it comes and goes. It came this morning & (perhaps) it went.
 
Perhaps not.

Yes. It lasted for about half and hour. Couldn't post period and got errors trying to access other parts of Edmunds (First Drive Article, etc).

and strobing S****n ads have never gone away and although they're slightly more subtle, I hate them just as much. Not only is it limiting my Edmunds experience but it has made me dislike their products.

Any reason the list of forums that I see under "Today's Top Discussions" hasn't changed for a week or more when I check it here: csGroups?
