Replying to: tlong (Oct 14, 2009 9:36 pm)  I think some stuff is still being tweaked, but in the meantime, please visit Welcome to the New Inside Line! and either comment there or use the email link there. And there have been some registration bugs so I'll cc this over for review. I was unable to post on Straightline for several days and tweaks two days ago fixed it for me. What browser and OS are you using?

Replying to: steve_ (Oct 14, 2009 9:57 pm) I'm using XP and Firefox. There seems to be a login problem. I'm logged in (I'm obviously posting right now). When I go to the blogs on the new Inside Line (in the example, the Chrysler speeding up design time article) and try to comment, I have a problem. When I'm reading the blog the top of the page has a "sign out" option, indicating that I am in fact signed in.When I type the comment and hit Submit, I get a message saying that I need to register. And at that point the top of the page option is "sign in", which now means that I'm not signed it! The other item I mentioned was a link to the forums on the front page of InsideLine, like on the old page. I used the InsideLine forums link because the presentation of the topics is different than the CarSpace presentation, and I like the InsideLine presentation better. If you eventually phase out the old InsideLine front page, then I'll have to access the forums via the CarSpace page unless the link is added to the new InsideLine front page.

Replying to: tlong (Oct 15, 2009 9:25 am) The Forums page on InsideLine is going away. May I ask what it is you like about that specific page? It will help us in planning changes for the Forums page in CarSpace. Thanks!

Replying to: Sylvia (Oct 15, 2009 12:59 pm) When it was just Edmunds.com, I would read new review articles and such and then head to the forums. When InsideLine was formed, I would go to IL and read the latest reviews and news, then head to the forums. So my visit to the Edmunds family of sites (and what keeps bringing me back) is something like "read news and reviews">>go to forums. So I like the pages to enhance that sequence of activities. Regarding the Forums page on CS vs. IL, on IL there is a topic "browse discussions by message board" and it has an item for "Automotive News". When I pick that link it shows a long list of topics, and it is generally sorted by date descending. I like to read/comment on a number of those forums and this is a convenient way to see where new messages have been posted recently. On the CS forums link you have to go to "Forums by Theme", then choose "Automotive news and views" and you get to the same place as above, it just takes more scrolling and an extra click. Since I'm going first to IL anyway, without a forums link I would have to back up to Edmunds and then choose Forums, and then do an extra click to get to where I want to go. So my old sequence was IL main page>> read articles>>click forums>>News and Views>> pick forums to read/post The new sequence would be IL main page>> read articles>>go back to Edmunds or Carspace>>click forums>>choose forums by theme>>Auto News Forums>>Auto News and Views>>pick forums to read/post. You can see that the new situation is a lot more inefficient to access. Hope that is clear, you might need to follow it through the process. Of course I don't know how many others might do it in this way, but I would suspect that a lot of people who want to read auto news would want to participate in the forums. Would there be an alternative suggestion you would have for similar efficiency if the IL forums link is not present?

Replying to: Sylvia (Oct 06, 2009 5:47 am) I originally thought it was a consequence of adBlock, but the behavior repeats itself on internet Explorer. This lack of access to the long term test blog is forcing me to actually do work!!! Please fix it

I tried to update my profile. I clicked on save and it makes a little check mark next to it and does nothing. What am I doing wrong?
