Why are we getting the Deals on Ebay RSS feed? I and probably most everyone here will not buy a car that way. This just clutters the forum plus. If I really wanted to, I can search for those over priced vehicles myself very easily. Then there is the Racing Junk web site where the vehicles are usually more reasonably offered.
Please Brent, don't clutter this site with "junk":mad:
You know you can go to CHR RSS feeder profile page on here and mark ignor them
But they still display as "New Posts", you just don't see the details if you click them. I don't believe there's a way to not see them at all, but if there is I'd like to know how...Quote:

Already tried the Ignore User option, Bill. The posts still show, but if you click on one the text & pictures are replaced with an "ignore list" message. That option really does not help eliminate the clutter in the active messages listing.Quote:

Enough changes - puhleze!!
I have to agree with y'all clutters things up plus I'm sure if it keeps updating it will clog up the server.
seems to be a waste of bandwidth.
just my 2¢
Is it just me, it also seems like since we went to the new format there are a lot more new 1 or 2 post users selling stuff or advertising car shows.
mike I noticed that too....ted
Well, you know I've always got 2 cents worth to share. I don't care for ebay ads on here every time I open up. I don't come here looking for a car. I come here for the comaraderie and information concerning high performance and construction. Brent, if you have time on your hands, how about setting up the quadruple-cross-referenced technical library we talked about?
Master electrical cutoff switch
would also be listed as...
Electrical cutoff switch, Master
Cutoff switch, Master electrical
Switch, Master electrical cutoff
I would guess its his forum and if he wants those posts they will be there ... Just don't open them There are a lot of post on here I don't open...
Charlie - you at least 100% correct - except for folks like us, the 'core group' it could go the way of Car Enthusiast - which cratered after a very few months.
Same thing is going on over on Club Cobra. But there are ads under at least three different user names (Brent, RSS & 13). Also for different types of cars, Cobras, GT40's &?.
I suggested there to give them their own forum group and give us the option to block the whole thing.
I don't think this was Brents intentions and is effectivly wasting server space so I'm sure it will be switched to off. Probably just testing the water for what the new software can do, and we just have to hang on.. He will probably find a good and welcome addition to CHR... eventully...
Some forums have test boards. I think we need 1.
I have another suggestion. If you want to use up space, how about expanding the PM to 10,000 characters instead of the fosdick 1,000 limit now. You can't even get started good and you're out of space.

Brent - thanks for making it 'go away' and hopefully get lost forever:DQuote:

Haha, you ACTUALLY think we just talk about cars here?? :LOL::LOL: If you look at the Hot Rod Lounge it is there specifically for NON car discussions.
Don
Mr Retired - Let's just take a look here - you have been a "contributor" since April 19,2009. You have made exactly 49 posts which is .06 posts per day on a fairly active forum. Now since it has taken you 3 months plus to even respond to my June post really doesn't lend much credibility to your diatribe:LOL: If you really know and understand the rules and feel that I need a reminder, please by all means, contact Mr Mustang (Bill) or Brent Mills and tell them that I have been a bad boy and need some discipline. Please do that ASAP!!!
Like we didn't know that already ;) :p :whacked: :toocool:Quote:

I had the same reaction, Shine. The purpose of the Lounge is non-hotrod topics, so what "rules" are a concern here? I happen to agree that the EvilBay threads are useless and a bother, so I vote for Dave's rant.Quote:
