Replying to: pf_flyer (Jul 25, 2006 5:05 am) Well that stinks. Sorry, but I veiwed this site BECAUSE everything was in one spot! I WANT to see the postings as they come in, on a variety of topics. So you're going to force me too look a bunch of different places..... I don't think so. Sorry, No thanks Bert Replies to this message: once_for_all (Jul 25, 2006 11:13 am)

Replying to: wingnut7 (Jul 25, 2006 8:29 am) yep, I agree. Specific topics like that quickly get OT anyway so then you end up with 6 competing forums.   It's the old biology species problem--some people are splitters, and some people are lumpers. Apparently the splitters are getting the upper hand here.   John

Have everything line listed like all the other sites. What I don't like for this forum is including the Protegé5 in the list, that's confusing.
#1026 of 1355 An ongoing process by pf_flyer HOST Jul 25, 2006 (3:42 pm)
It's a learning process for me as well   The main move is away from the HUGE discussions with several thousands posts. People are just as upset when you point them at a 5000 post discussion and say, "It's in there". That's not a good thing either.   Everything is going to be here in the 5 owners group.   Fear not, I'll put up road signs as needed! Replies to this message: psychoart (Jul 26, 2006 1:21 am)

Replying to: pf_flyer (Jul 25, 2006 3:42 pm) No diesel or hybrid coming, or the lack of the 5 speed auto is a bad play from Mazda. I've heard that for 2008 model, Toyota might bring a 7 seat hybrid. In the price range of the Mazda5 Touring, there might be a competitive new Corolla hybrid. Sure, it's not the same car, but $ for $, it might be a tough call as an alternative.   I'm holding my purchase again. Mazda is doing the same thing again like last year. This starts to be a major turn down. So much that some people who really want want might get angry about Mazda's response, and turn away from it like a VW.   The 5 speed tyrany is not much to ask for anyway. Like many prospective buyers have stated, the wait and see game don't get anyone to buy the product. Bad bad strategy.   Mazda wanted to lead the market with the Mazda5 by offering a hot product that is available in Europe. But still, Mazda is holding its punch. You could hold it, because it's not hitting me now. And the other competitors would have hit the target until you do you little testing.
#1028 of 1355 Specific topics = bad move by mdaffron Jul 26, 2006 (4:34 am)
Now you're going to have more people copying and pasting the exact same post in 2, 3 or more discussions because they want the most coverage for an answer.   What's wrong with directing someone to a large group for a solution to a problem? Isn't that what the search tool is for?   Say I'm a new Mazda5 owner who's having a problem with my stereo. Do I go to:   Mazda5: Problems & Solutions? New Mazda5 Owners: Give us your report? Mazda5 Audio & Entertainment Questions?   This kind of person, wanting a solution to his problem, will undoubtedly feel the need -- and the drudgery -- of posting the same question in at least three different discussions.   Bad move, IMHO! Please share with the higher-ups, who I don't feel have thought thoroughly about this.   I don't know much -- I've only been here six years -- but why change what works? You know, you used to break discussions every so often (that's why we had Protege 2, 3, 4, etc.). How about breaking them by year? Mazda5 2005, Mazda5 2006, etc.? That would keep your single-discussion numbers under control and still prove useful for searching for problems, wouldn't it? Just a suggestion!   Meade Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Jul 26, 2006 5:30 am)

Replying to: mdaffron (Jul 26, 2006 4:34 am) We already discuorage folks from posting the same thing in multiple dicsussions, so I not sure I see how that's suddenly going to start happening more often.   Seems to me that if you're a Mazda5 owner with a stereo problem, that Audio & Entertainment questions discussion is the best fit, but that's just me   But your feedback IS welcome. Although a better place to post your concerns and suggestions would be in the Forums Software! Your Questions Answered... discussion.   Let's reserve this space for the 5!

MAZDA has lost ALL of its cars on the ship that tilted to its side Yesterday on the West coast. ALL crew members have been rescued. Replies to this message: fowler3 (Jul 26, 2006 6:20 pm)

Replying to: jerrymcshane1 (Jul 26, 2006 8:25 am) Mazda could have done worse -- two men and a truck.   That's what happens when you hire amateurs to haul your stuff.   Yesterday, when I was on this forum the number of 5 pages was up to 103, now it's back to 54. Managing content must be a frustrating job.   fowler3
#1032 of 1355 Yep by pf_flyer HOST Jul 26, 2006 (6:21 pm)
A lot of stuff is moving around... but let's stick to the 5 and let the housekeeping run in the background
