Youtube videos cannot match the appeal of good text and beautiful photos.

Long live our forum, based on the written word!

Mods can probably answer this better, but the following is just my observation as a regular.

Previously, official reviews were published much later than other publications. Members used to ask When will the official review come out? all the time.

These days the review is out as soon as the media embargo ends. No need to wait for weeks to read the most unbiased (shorter) coverage, that still covers a lot more than others.

You gain some, you lose some!

I find earlier team-bhp reviews much more detailed and high quality compared to all the other video reviews on YouTube other than some good Chanel’s ,i would rather wait for some time for much more detailed review from team-bhp
Recently i feel there is no difference in the newer reviews and all the other YouTube reviews.

While respecting your viewpoint, I would suggest that you do not compare Team-BHP review with any other review on the internet for the sake of finding them same or different.

There is no issue if Team-BHP reviews are same as Youtube reviews as long as the core information in the Team-BHP review for a perspective owner is adeqaute and unbiased.

Make your opinion regarding a Team-BHP review on its merit and I am sure you wont be disappointed.

TBHP has earlier been known for real in-depth reviews, not kowtowing to manufacturers' conditions and blackmail.

I believe (I may be wrong) that people here care more about Quality rather than read what they can find on practically every other website or YouTube Video or magazine.

We do not mind (or at least I do not mind) waiting.

Thanks and cheers

I would love to see detailed review of recently launched cars like the hycross,elevate etc

Not sure if it has been suggested earlier. I understand that there are already many threads/posts to explore on but I particularly like the threads/posts which I discover via the following way: Click on "Top Thanked" -> Scroll to "This Day Last Year"

Is there any chance we can incorporate a New Part below it where it will consists of Last 3 years? Therefore it will now consist of 2022, 2021 and 2020 since we are in 2023. I totally understand that it will create a very long page but just a suggestion.

Dunno if it's just my Firefox browser settings, but on Firefox, the icons for 'Bikes' and the categories after seem to be missing on the Classifieds page. But they appear fine on Chrome. Firefox version number 119.0.1 (64-bit).

After typing many posts and getting to know the layout & formatting options for new post and replies, I want to share some suggestions to enhance our member's posting experience.

1 - In Assembly line, there should be an option to

• Move the replies up and down.
• Adding a new reply in between replies.
• Move some part of your reply to new reply (example from 2 to 3)

because sometimes you miss something (long post) and later on adding them means either you have to delete the reply or add them later on.

2- Navigation Panel - A navigation panel like MS-Word can be incorporated on the left which can include Images uploaded (instead of a popup) and replies posted (ability to move replies and to access specified reply just by a tap/click instead of scrolling, like you click on page number in MS-Word)

3- Smilies - Since there is already a drop-down menu for them, removing/ relocating them will provide more space on right.

4- Message & Title - These can be moved to the left.

5- Attachments - Ability to attach up to 10 second videos. (if possible)

6- Notification - A notification section like YouTube which includes replies / members reply quoted and jumping straight to the post/thread and private messages too.

7- Post count - In my profile when I click on find all post, it shows 45 but in replies it shows 47. It need a fix.

Thank you and I hope you like them.

Nice to hear you're enjoying that feature

We would like to allow the member to specify search criteria for Top Thanked, but that will have to be done in a much later update.

Am using the same version and it shows fine.

Do you have adblock or any other extensions on FF?

Great suggestions, thanks!
Unfortunately most are limited by the software, however #5 & 6 are on the horizon...

No, but figured it out - the default zoom on my FF browser was set to 120% So when a user zooms to 120 or beyond, some of the classified icons disappear. They return at 100% zoom.

Not sure of it's a bug or expected behavior.

Glad you figured it out! Though that's still really odd... works find on my FF @ 120%

The 'Solar water heater' thread doesn't get greyed out, even after accessing the thread. I used to find this happen sometime back, for some other threads.

Is it do with some local settings OR Is this happening across the board?

There used to be a link at the top of a thread, "View First Unread". This has vanished recently in the PC skin (BHP Silver) but still visible in the Mobile skin. Can it be brought back to PCs also? Gun to head, I'd say this started after the introduction of the "Photos" button.



The mobile view, with the link highlighted.



The PC view. The link used to be where the Photos button is. Now it is gone.
