Of course you can! When viewing a forum, click on the number in the "
Replies" column. This will open up a new window, with a list of those who have commented in the thread. Simply click on the post count next to the thread starter's name and you'll see a list of his posts only.

Nope. And no plans to add any notification either.

We don't have a problem with old threads being bumped up, as long as the content is still relevant today (e.g. How to save money on insurance premiums). If it's irrelevant however, we usually delete the post and close the thread. This doesn't happen too frequently, so its not something we need to worry about for now.

We could have the 'Test Drives' section in a similar manner (it would even be more user-friendly). |
Thanks Prateek. Shortlisted for internal discussion.

Thank you for the suggestion. Shortlisted for internal discussion.

Done & implemented via our
You've been quoted feature. Enjoy

Was recently trying to refer to the Indian Car Sales Chart of December 2010. While doing so, realized that Indian Car Sales Figures thread doesn't come under an exclusive sub forum.
However, must admit that, it was not all that difficult to google it up in the Indian car scene section. Just thought it would be nice, In the long run, if the support team could prolly look at creating an exclusive sub forum for the Indian Car Sales Figures which would come handy for some lazzy bones like me. |
No plans to create a new sub-forum for the sales stats. Best for you to use the SEARCH feature.

Affects about 1% of all the posts on Team-BHP, and will lead to way too much manual work. Sorry, but cannot implement.

We'd rather that all the photo uploading, sharing and commenting takes place on the Team-BHP forum itself.

Once all the cars have been uploaded, you will see a new dedicated section for the Technical Specifications. Thanks!

Information shared on a "shoutbox" or a "chat window" is predominantly 1-on-1. Thus, it only helps ONE person. Where's the fun in that? We insist that all knowledge sharing takes place on the public forum, so that thousands of other Members & Guests also stand to benefit.

The way that our PM facility is designed, all links open up in a new window. This has nothing to do with the "You've been quoted" feature.

In fact, we frequently change vernacular thread titles to English. If you see any title in a regional language, please use the "report this post to a Moderator" function and we'll change it ASAP.

I see where you are going, and accept your suggestion. However, your solution isn't ideal (imagine a forum section with 30 parked threads!!). Wait & watch, I have just the solution in mind. Just give us a little time to implement.

As BackSeatDriver posted on the previous page, you can do it page by page. Shouldn't take you too long.

Suggestion noted.

We already have a "Hot Threads" section on the home page, that lists the most interesting recent threads. But yes, I will agree that we need to update the sections on our home page. Will be done.

Done on the timing equipment. Expect an update in the near future.
As much as we'd love to accommodate more reviewers with us, you have to understand that testing a car involves a whole lot of logistics. Plus, about 1/2 of them are on manufacturer invitations (which are usually for only 1 person). However, the beauty of an open forum is, any member who has a review of the car to share can do so via his own thread!
