Would it be horribly taxing on the site and search function to eliminate a 4 letter minimum? We all use abbreviations for a lot of basic parts from "ECU" and "EMS", to "OEM", "JDM", "LED", and "HID", to something as simple as a "code 54" that we are currently unable to search for.

I'm actually looking for different threads on different aftermarket computers for our cars to gather information on positives and negatives of each, and its really difficult to try to filter your results down without using either ECU or EMS lol.


Is this something viable that can be done? If you know how to search properly the generated results will be much closer to what you're looking for if it exists.


Not very viable, as it would be a massive undertaking to change the forum search at this point. It's not the best experience, but like others mentioned, Google with the site:6gc.net prefix will probably be your best bet. Google's pretty good at that whole search thing. wink.gif

One thing I've noticed is that on the main forum page, looking at the listing of all forums
It continues to reload, and reload, you have to reach up and hit Stop so that it will stay still.

Not a big deal but the sort of thing you might look at when you get the time


What browser and operating system are you on? Is that happening to anyone else?

Yep, I just posted about this with the moderators. There was a bug so that the member promotion script wasn't running properly, but now it should be! smile.gif

I do not know the technical reasons behind this, but why can't we just upload photos into our threads or posts with out going thru photo bucket? I don't post much about my 6gc on here because I always have issues uploading on photo bucket thru my mobile device because my laptop is crap.

Lol I guess what I'm saying is it would be nice to just upload photos straight from my mobile device rather then going thru a second cite first.

The embedded videos can be annoying but I don't care either way.

I agree that this would be nice. It would cost slightly more in terms of storage/bandwidth on the server, and I'm not sure how much work it would be to implement. I'll look into it. smile.gif

I might be able to make it only include members who have been active in the last X months. I know it's certainly possible, but it might be way too slow. What do you guys think would be a good threshold? 3 months?

3 months sounds about right, maybe half an year.

Coomer, have you considered something about the chat?

Btw, thank you so much for the bigger inbox.

Nicer chat would be sweet smile.gif Or even where we could just outsource to aim or msn since most of us already have i.m. accounts anyway with our email or what have it.

What browser and operating system are you on? Is that happening to anyone else?


I have this problem - Windows 8 using the Internet Explorer 'windows app' (the one that launches from the metro splash screen). This morning when I tried each time it refreshed the times of recent posts were jumping forward and back an hour on every refresh too... if that gives you any clues? Only happens on the main Forums page. I've taken to using Firefox in desktop mode now which doesn't have the issue... but it would be nice to be able to use both (and not scare off newbies with glitches).

That would be nice and would also stop the issues of having all of the old dead links from inactive members that we can't chase up any more to get the pictures re-uploaded. However, I can't imagine the strain it would put on your servers to handle the amount of photos that get uploaded to the site... and you would need a system of compressing the images or limiting file size uploads, and it takes more effort for us to compress an image than upload to photo bucket so not sure if it defeats the purpose tongue.gif

Personally I would say a year... because its not unusual for members to drop off for that long and being able to see them and send them a PM may get them back here when they get the email alert. It may make the map less useful for those in highly 6GC populated areas though. 3 Months would certainly be a more accurate representation of the active members though.

I use Windows 7, 8 and 8.1
I have experienced this problem once, When I was using Windows 8. Havn't had the problem on 8.1 or 7. (I mainly use Firefox, sometimes Chrome).

At first I thought omg someone deleted my inbox. But wow you doubles the size. Ok perhaps 5 months for those who are resetting the Map. I mean internet is so easily accessible you should be able to log in at least once a week but your the admin

Thanks for the input! I haven't had the time to investigate the map yet, but when I do I'll compare various lengths of time and see what seems to work well. I might even be able to make it user-configurable with minimal effort.

and sure, break the f/s section in 2...

oh and the signature too, make it bigger...


Perhaps, though bigger signatures I'm against for the same reasons I am with embedded videos. But if everyone but me wants it, then I can make it happen. I just don't want the site to slow down. Also, bigger signatures are tougher on the servers, and that can potentially make everything slow.

would the results be the same if you were to increase the file size limit of the signature but keep the same max dimensions?
