Love the site.. A real wealth of information is here across many makes and models.

A simple request for the site admin or global admins -

Can a sticky be added to all the forums titled "Read Before You Post" or similar that contains basic instructions of how it would be more helpful to provide the basics of the vehicle with the new post, most important being year/make/model and engine size?

I noticed the majority of lonely posts have very vauge information and no engine size noted, which may be the reason there are no reply's?

Thanks.

It is the little icon to the left of the subject on the post. Look down on the forum page and you will see sticky. It stays at the top of the forum.

I have been trying to get another icon to indicate that the post was completed and not really closed. I hate the word closed. Completed would allow the moderator to change the icon so as you look down through the forum if the subject had a similar ring to a problem you were experiencing you would know that the solutions offered brought resolution to that post. Often we make suggestions and don't hear back, thus not knowing if we solved their problem and they danced off happily, they got frustrated and went some other direction or they lost interest in fixing the problem, etc.

Still waiting for the breaking in to car models, etc.

Would really like the extra back button that stays at the bottom of the posts. When they get long I would like to save the scroll or mouse movement.

Hey Bruce,
I hate to act like such a Service writer, but what can I say Laughing

I see an icon on bottom that has a ghost like shape that says "sticky", How do you implement it? should it be when the post has completion? Yikes Shocked Hate to go through all the old ones but I would.

www.IATN.com has a good system. but not sure how to implement it here or how to get into the groove here. I understand it is all about effieciency and support it 100%.

I should spend a little time understanding all the blank bells, solid bells and shaking bells or the other icons of distinction. (great case for the pictures) http://www.2carpros.com/forum/posting-pictures-vt24297.html?highlight=

If I can be of help toward a team goal, let me know how. Cool
