It’s a video advert and the ad blocker isn’t able to remove it. I have tried multiple extensions on Safari but they’re not able to remove this black space

These will be nuggets of info that otherwise will go missing as people may not post assuming that full-travelogues are required to post those.

A workaround could be to do this in the assembly line section. Once you are back, you can add a concluding post and ask the mods to move it to the live section.

But it would be a shared thread - everyone would contribute otherwise we will need one such thread per user ( potentially )?

Separately, when scrolling a thread, it automatically moves to the next pages if available with having to click on next/page number. However, when scrolling up a thread, it doesn't happen. Frequently we start from the last post and scroll up - so could we have autoscroll to previous page too?

While typing let the page feel like typing in MSword, where it is easy to add tables and do formatting without showing tags.

Writing before or after the pic can be made easier than present

Oh god no! For me, I'd ask to have vi commands work. --- But seriously, this is never going to be anything but the most simple text interface.

Don't some forums have a work around for tables using the [CODE] tag? I seem to remember that that honours tabs and multiple spaces, so tables can be made to work, albeit without must sophistication

Noticed a new look to the forum. It looks quite nice and modern with the new theme. It is more aligned to the times.

However, being creatures of habit: would it be possible to also have the old theme as an option?

[Thad E Ginathom]

Yes, the new look is very smart.

Standard, red or blue, are still old-fashioned-forum looks, if you don't mind one of the colours.

Is there something wrong with the User CP view? I don't see updates on this screen but when I go to new posts, I do see updates to my subscribed threads there.
It seems to get updated but after several hours is what I felt. May be I will watch for this problem more carefully now.

This suggestion is after painstakingly typed long post lost.

Had to take call and coming back to editing window inadvertently pressed back in phone and lost it all.

Either a draft or acknowledgement "Do you want to discard your post to the thread" sort would be really helpful.

Your idea of the warning to prevent accidental navigation away is a good one! Will at least prevent some 'losses'. Will see what we can do.

PS - On some browsers, if you accidentally click "back", clicking "forward" after that restores the page with the text you had typed.

Similar thought, but on a different context -

The Assembly Line is pretty helpful in composing a new thread, esp. longish ones like Ownership Reviews.

We need something similar for posting updates too. Case in point - I've been working on an update to my thread for a while in my personal laptop, taking notes on my phone etc. to organize it into a worthy update.

But prob is, working on even Google Docs gets cumbersome when it comes to removing formatting and recreating the format you want, inserting images, getting the whole thing together.

Instead, if we have an Assembly Line of sorts (or drafts) for composing long updates that typically happens in ownership reviews, it'll help lazy procrastinators like me in getting all updates in one place, ready to reorganize and fire!

@Admins - I can see that the UI seems to have undergone some enhancements - can we have some official info on it

(If I missed any announcements - please point me to it, and apologies in advance)

[shankar.balan]

Requesting if we can have a specific pictorial tutorial on how to add captions to photos while posting them and how to post them inline too. This is specifically for users who only use mobile devices - more particularly iOS on phone and tablet.

Dear Mods.

I was reading the Atto 3 review and noticed the Live to Drive sticker.

It is high time to offer some EV specific stickers.
For example - Live to Dri.EV with the associated colors and livery and background. I think it would work well.

Dri.EV safe , Dri.EV clean, Charge your ride, Dri.EV, Plug-in, rEVpeat etc are some examples.

Dri.EV “Clean” - is still in question. Considering that in India, as in other parts of the world, the majority of electricity produced is by burning coal. I would therefore, be a bit cautious in saying ‘clean’.

I know the admin team does not have much control over the ads being displayed. But kindly refer to this news article. Use of such images is banned by the National commission for protection of child rights.

https://www.thehindu.com/news/nation...le66304975.ece

And this ad in being served to me consistently for past two days.



Not that I grudge donations, I'm probably being served ads because my browser is reporting the donations made previously. But use of such images is unacceptable - it is sheer exploitation.

Kindly delete once the team has noted this. Not sure how else to report ads.

Even I am facing the same issue. There is a constant barrage of Ketto ads since some months, especially this ad from 3-4 days.

I have never made any online donations so far nor wish to do so.

I have cleared cookies, cache, history and what not.
Also reported this ad to Google several times. I get a message saying 'we will try not to show this ad again ', but no use.

I still get it on every page at multiple Locations.

One more is a video ad playing below the main tabs, either for a battery or a tyre or something else.

Frankly, these are irritating and the Ketto ads are downright disgusting.

Mods, please do something about this as it is ruining the forum experience.
