The Watched Items list is handy in that it pulls all the discussions you're interested in to one spot and shows you all the new activity. No more clicking about to find all the different spots. Of course, clicking about may be your thing and you can do that too if you so desire! |

Replying to: pf_flyer (Oct 09, 2008 4:38 pm) Well, I don't know if we are speaking of the same forum. There used to be a forum called "Hybrid Cars" and THAT forum listed ALL messages in all forums, using many pages, not just one page of forum links. The list of sub groups was at the top as well (just like the current "Hybrid Vehicles" forum). That way I could monitor new messages in ALL forums that contained hybrid cars. It worked very well. The "Hybrid Cars" forum went bye-bye suddenly, and I had to move to the "Hybrid Vehicles" forum. I don't know if it is a new or an old forum, but it does NOT show all articles from all forums - only a few articles. With this forum, I have to go into each vehicle forum to see if there are any new articles. Which is very bad... Anyway, it is possible that I was looking at a forum that has since been removed. But regardless of old/new, under the current format, in order to see new posts, I have to enter each sub forum, whereas I used to be able to see all new posts immediately under the list of subforums - a great time saver. At this point I'm no longer checking most of the hybrid forums, only a couple. It just takes too much time, and to be frank, checking for new postings is what a computer is good at - so I'm a bit upset about the "progress" (NOT) of the forums... Forgive me if you had anything to do with redesign, but the past year has seen a bunch of bone headed changes in the Forums, each of which has made it more difficult to use and less useful over all. I find it humorous that Edmunds made a big fuss about breaking out the forums into sub topics (against the wishes of most forum readers), then is continuously shutting people off when they create new topics, because those topics fall under already established topics! Then they designed the ads on the right (they could just as easily been on the left side), causing many people to lose text under the browsers, and now they killed my favorite "combination" forum, with no explanation or reason that I can see. |

!st time user. Im have a restored 280SL Benz in great condition less than 50,ooo on odometer since rebuilt, but lately my tach has started to act up when it gets below 50 F. It bounces all over the place. Do I have to have the entire unit replaced or is their a "graphite fix" that will not cost an arm or a leg? Any help appreciated,' Chuck

Replying to: spanky708 (Oct 18, 2008 3:54 pm) Normally a request like this should go in the Lost? Ask a Host for Help! discussion (for future reference). For your problem, I'd say you want to check in with Mr_Shiftright over at the Shifty, I need your help! discussion. kcram - Pickups Host |

I have a 2004 Chevy Silverado 4WD with a Fisher 7.5 Minute Mount snow plow electric/hydra and when used for a while I can stall the engine.The truck does have an HD alternator but the battery is the original which is 650 CCA . I'm thinking that I need to upgrade the size of the Battery to have some reserve when plowing. So My question is should I buy a deep cycle 900CCA or just a 1000CCA optima Red Top? any ideas???

Replying to: bengdawg (Nov 16, 2008 4:20 pm) This is the software discussion -- you can probably get an answer more quickly in the Chevrolet Silverado Forum. Or you can just enter your question in the "Ask the Community" box on the right side of this page. |

Quite an issue today with the system, or was this scheduled maintenance?

There hasn't been a new message since 11/21/08. Has the Edmunds site gone dormant? Or changed URL? What's up?
